I don't believe in fretting and greiving, why mess around with strife?

[In some ways, this trial was simpler. The killer was lacking in remorse, the victim innocent. The lines were clearer. Was that better, or worse?

Either way, Fern and Alex make up something of a green team, preparing a meal in the kitchen. Nothing particularly complicated. Coffee and water for whoever want it is at one end of the dining table. Along the rest of it is a variety of foods. A plate of cheese and crackers, a bowl of salad and carrots for the healthy people, some handy finger sandwiches, and... a big pot of mac and cheese. What they lack in presentation they make up in sheer volume of food. That's a big tub of mac and cheese.

They struggle with the invitations for a bit before eventually coming up with possibly the most awkward phrasing possible. These notes are quietly shoved under doors with little fanfare more than a quick knock.


We got food in eat place. Food is good to eat. Enjoy food with us?

- Fern and Alex

[The dining area is lined up with some appropriate decorations, quick paper streamers and even some doodles that have been taped to the walls.

Its possible too simple. But maybe people need something simple to gorge on after a complicated day.]

[ ... ]

Were you friendly with either of them?

[didntgetdadslooks]

I... wish I had gotten to know Chitoge better. She was nice.

[ Who knows, maybe someday they could have become Something More. ]

[sleepytimegal]

[ Alex nods. ]

She...yeah. She was spirited, and...encouraging. A whole whirlwind of a girl. It sucks that...that either of 'em are...this.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Yeah. I didn't talk to Blue, but... I don't know. It was bad all around.

[sleepytimegal]

She was all energetic and flirt first day. ...I didn't realize all that stuff was...

[ She breathes out. ]

Talking about it wouldn't've stopped her, probably...but I wish she could've, anyway. At least so she wasn't alone with that.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Yeah. Sometimes people just... do bad things. And there's nothing anyone could really have done, but here you are.

[sleepytimegal]

I hate that. ...I hate that, just... We're resigning ourselves that everything's gonna suck, forever. How can you stand it?

[didntgetdadslooks]

I... resigned myself to that long before I came here.

[sleepytimegal]

[ ... ]

Well... Whatever happened, you shouldn't've had to. None of us should.

[didntgetdadslooks]

It's... yeah. You're right. None of us should.

[sleepytimegal]

[ She breathes out. ] You should...try to do something to get your mind off all this. None of us should be dwelling.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Probably. What are you doing?

[sleepytimegal]

...Dwelling.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Then maybe we both need to figure out something else to do.

Want some mac and cheese?

[sleepytimegal]

You know? Sure. Fern did make a lot of it after all.
