Afterparty 5.0

[There's not much that can be believed about that trial. Or that execution. Still, like before, two hours after everyone leaves, they'll find a note slipped underneath their doors.]

We have to stick together. The dining room is there for anyone that needs a quiet space, and I cooked dinner.

Hibiki made some coffee and dessert for all of us.

-Mordecai Benmont Jiminy and Hibiki Ganaha

[Today's selection includes potato pancakes and a light coffee cake. Hibiki has lit two more candles in the dining hall. It doesn't take long before Mordecai lights a third.]

[Elise sits down by Yuuri and nods.]

Honestly... what a mess.

[ He nods, because seriously it was a huge mess. ]

What did you think of his plan, Elise-san?

If I can be completely honest with you, I thought it was an absolute mistake and have no idea how he thought everyone would go along with it, that's what.

So did I. There's no guarantee he would even be able to resurrect us here, is there?

If all these powers people speak of are taken away, of course. Which... it looks like that was what he was trying to do, but I'd rather not think of the man's demise, that was vile.

Yeah... I'm going to have a hard time getting that image out of my head.

Are you going to be all right?

...I think so. [ Well, he hopes he will be. ]

It's hard, seeing this week after week.

Of course it is. We're just... well, maybe not all of us are ordinary. But we can't abide this, yet that's the only thing to do.

It is... We've tried to learn as much as we can, but it still feels like we know nothing.

[ And everything they do know is confusing. ]

None of those clues people pass around make any sense.

They really don't... I just get more confused with everything we find out.

Maybe it's just as well... but there's supposed to be a fair chance. At all of this, I mean.

Is there really? It seriously doesn't feel like it most of the time...

Why do you think there are clues to begin with? It's the only thing I know.

So he wants to give us the chance to actually win the trials instead of being doomed... I hadn't really thought about it that much before.

Perhaps he wants to prove that he can be defeated. But... no, I'm not sure.

That's possible too... At least there's a chance for us to win against him, though. I think that's the most important thing.

Then we can all go back to our lives. I don't want to be stuck in here another minute.

Neither do I. Not when I have so much to take care of.

You've got a lot of responsibilities at home, so of course. But anyone would want to get out of here and just be happy again. I don't want to be the kind of person that I... well, sending people to their deaths, that sort of thing.

Yeah, I... Don't know how much longer I can keep doing this.

We're all just trying to survive. That's all I'm doing. That's all everyone's doing.

Yeah, that's true. We just have to get through this.

Right. ...I hope we can.
