sorry for your loss

[When people are returned to the main floor, they will find a trail of cupcakes from the elevator to the dining room. There is a table of drinks, pills, and cupcakes and cakes from the automat.

And on the table, in the center, is this asshole, with a party horn in its mouth. Despite that, it talks into everyone's mind.]

As you strangers tend to have a tradition of parties after an execution, I took the liberty. The plates and cups are over there.

be merry I guess]

[Estelle is still smarting a little bit from that lightning jolt earlier, but she's trying to get around to checking on others herself. Vita may have fared better this trial, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't like to check on her anyway.]

Oh. Hey Vita...

[And she's just going to give the girl a hug like she did Arthur earlier.]

I just wanted to be sure you're holding up. If you want to talk, Jonathan and I are here for you.

[For a moment she's caught off guard, only to quickly relax and let down some of the walls she'd been trying to put up while getting through. It can't be helped that she sniffles a bit, returning the hug.]

...thanks. I appreciate that. It... means a lot to me.

It means a lot that you're still here too. It scared me so much to hear so many of be willing to give up your lives when I know how truly painful and terrifying dying is. That's not knowledge you want to have.

[carryabigstick]

I know, I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't want to, but Arthur scared me and-- I should have found a different way.

As long as you remember that, it's fine. If an innocent like you had died, it would just mean our enemies win. You wouldn't give up if you were fighting an Ouroboros Enforcer just because they're stronger than you, right?
