WEEK 6
[Fifteen X-Passes. You've finally done it. You can now go free. However, the price has been steep. Too steep.
True, you can leave. Anyone can, now. But simply leaving may be a bad idea. After all, who knows what else Zero has up its sleeve? Who knows what's outside of the HMHS Gigantic? How will they survive? How will they eat? And those are the easy questions that need to be answered. After all, the mystery of Zero, the mystery of Zack, the mystery of who is the cause of all of this and why-those things are also seemingly impossible to answer without some preparation. There's also the new area that's opened up that may yet yield more for the survivors to mull over.
Rushing is surely a bad idea. It's time to prepare. Take the time to get ready for whatever is outside. Stock up on supplies. Write what needs to be written. Say what needs to be said. Get ready for the possibility that whatever is out there, whatever the answers are-they will not be easy, and they will not be quick.

But we will retrieve them regardless. My mission is complete, but I will dedicate this second life to that.

[Hermes looks down at the ground, kind of sullenly... There's a hint of annoyance in his face, but only a tiny bit. He rests one of his footclaws against the side of his screenface.]
That.... I think that was mostly the clockwork speaking...
...Aoi's letter... confirmed it. ...I still don't know how. The Zeros, maybe...?

But there are strains of clockwork out there that can live as ordinary citizens.
[Hermes looks a bit ashamed at the way he looks with all the circuity red lines on his two front legs. Remember that time during the first trial where he said he spent a couple hours polishing himself up? Yeah...]
