WEEK 3



[The week begins as last week began. But there's is a great difference-murder. It has happened. Blood has been drawn; it cannot be undone. The Game has made itself known. The Game is paramount. The Game simply is.

As morning dawns, those who were not present with the DEAD lock will find that the doors that were locked are now gone-and a whole new area has finally opened up to them. They will also find that they remember something they had not been able to recall beforehand. The question is, was it worth it?

And-is it you, or is the ship getting...colder as the hours go by? No, it's not just you. By the end of Sunday, the ship has started to dip into freezing temperatures. It might be difficult for people to bundle up-unless you're Brain, who will find his closet inundated with winter clothing that fit him perfectly.

Yup. This is going to be a long week, as if last week wasn't bad enough.



There are currently 16 strangers in this place.]

[Maki pauses, then sits down.]

I'll listen.

[Gai's voice isn't anything like Inori's, that much is for certain. But it isn't bad at all, and the song is pleasant to listen to, if nothing else.

And if his voice sounds more than a little nostalgic while he sings, well, surely you're just hearing things.]

[unpossibilities]

[Kaito listens to the song with a small smile. Maki's expression can't change- but she, too, listens. It's a pretty song. But there's a certain undeniable sadness to it. When it ends, she speaks once more.]

You've been through a lot, haven't you? ...I wish I had the courage to sing about it, like you.

[Normally, Maki might not say something like that up front, but...Kaito knows how she feels most of the time.]

[voidseeing]

[Inori's stitched expression remains emotionless, much like her real namesake. The corner of Gai's lips twitches just slightly, however, almost as though he wants to smile but can't quite manage it. Maki certainly isn't wrong on that front, not that she or Kaito know.]

You can. You can sing if you want to. You just have to believe you can.

[That is definitely something that Inori would say, rather than touching on the first part of that sentence...]
