at the end of the river, the sundown beams

[Well...that trial was most certainly a thing, now wasn't it.

It's probably a while after the trial that some notes will be going underneath people's doors, written in a nice, clean scrawl--]

For anyone who hasn't gotten anything to eat, there will be food and refreshments provided in the dining room courtesy of Estelle-san and I. Feel free to take as much as you need.

Please stay strong, everyone.

♥ Estelle and Sayaka

[True to the word, there's plenty of food to go around--potato stew courtesy of Estelle, and curry courtesy of Sayaka. There's coffee and tea out as well, for anyone to drink, and...well, it's more or less an optional thing. After today, some might need it.]

[Rin can't help but think that if the number rises, it'll only reflect their losses. She chews the inside of her lip and looks away, but doesn't have the heart to say it. It shouldn't matter to her anyways, and she intends to find a way out of here long before that happens.

Still, the chance exists that it won't be as soon as I'd like...]

[perpend]

...We'll get through this. We have to.

[She was so caught up in her thoughts she only caught what he was saying belatedly. Rin raises her head, looking back at him again. After a moment, she nods.]

I intend to.

[perpend]

Of course. The more of us who are in this together, looking for a way out, the better.

[heritrix]

Do you have any ideas so far?

[perpend]

No. The ticking clock makes it difficult. But I will come up with something. I have to try.

[heritrix]

I'll let you know if I find anything myself, then. We're in the same situation, so on this we should cooperate.

[perpend]

Of course.
