It's time for an after party!
[About an hour after the trial and subsequent execution, Cabanela makes a decision.
They need to do something, keep the morale up, however little it may be.
Under each occupied room door people will find the following note written:
In difficult times such as this, it is important to carry on.
Don't give into despair; we must preservere.
If you don't want to be alone this evening, meet me in the dining hall.
-Cabanela
[Upon entering the dinning hall, you will find Cabanela sitting at one of the tables; he has lit two candles that are placed at the center of the table, but there's nothing else to note.
You'll have to supply your own food, since he doesn't have much of an appetite.]

I knew he had done it from the moment they mentioned that Kaneki's body was hanging from the chandelier. I wanted to believe it was someone else, but Reaver's behavior made it plain.
Of course he was afraid. I've never seen him more afraid.
[The words are shaking a bit but Logan's expression is stiff. Remember when you said he didn't know Reaver as well as he thought he did? Yeah. He knows Reaver very well.]
no subject
Cabanela is still sure he didn't get everything right, that he missed some important things-- but apparently that didn't matter to the Conductor.
It wasn't a perfect, spotless investigation by any means. And he prides himself on getting everything right, for the right reasons.]
He was afraid of being caught. Or what the unknown catch for those killers found out was; he was afraid of death, wasn't he?
[There's absolutely no judgement in his tone. He's just asking a question.]
no subject
[Logan shakes his head.]
Had he known what the stakes were - that he would kill all of us if he got away with it - he wouldn't have killed Kaneki. I'm certain of that.
[...Because it would be far more beneficial to Reaver to keep Logan alive, but that's not the point.]
no subject
Even if he hadn't done it, someone still would have been the first to crack.
[This situation just means that they've all doomed your country, nbd]
no subject
[why was kaneki a cannibal, that's so messed up]
...I suppose it isn't fair to pass judgement when I do not know his full situation. It's... been a long day.
[To put it lightly.]
no subject
[But there's something else on his mind.]
You and Reaver both indicated your country would be in trouble because of something only the two of you knew about. Was it some sort of invading army?
[He's only guessing because Logan is a king and Reaver seemed the sort of person to know everything going on.]
no subject
That... isn't something I can talk about now.
[Or ever. Probably.]
no subject
I see.
...I'm sorry. For everything.
[Especially accusing Logan of murder just to rule out the possibility.]
no subject
As am I.
[No hard feelings about that, honestly. Finding the truth is important and he was being a pain about it.]
...I... am glad you all came to the correct conclusion. Not because I wanted anything like that to happen, but because I could not allow everyone to die. I told several of the others I will look after them as if they are citizens of Albion and I mean it. I've already failed one of my citizens.
[There aren't enough words in any language for just how sorry he is.]
no subject
........He understands that far too well.]
We have to hang on, for the sake of everyone we are trying to protect. Not just here, but at home, too.
[They all have too much riding on this now.]
no subject
[That's what caused him to decide not to fight this, after all. If he'd wanted to, maybe he could have convinced enough people to throw the vote. He doubts it, but the lives of six million people aren't something that can be thrown away so easily.
But he didn't try to fight it. He allowed Reaver to die. To "take responsibility" for his actions.]
My duty is to Albion and I will continue to do everything in my power to protect it. Until a time when I can return home, I shall do what I can to protect the people here.
[It's a purpose and right now, he needs that more than anything else.]
no subject
Thank you.
I'm just a crazy character in a white coat, but I want as many people as possible to make it out of here alive.
no subject
We shall do all we can to protect everyone here, then.
no subject
It should be our duty as adults to keep all of the children safe.
no subject
[CHILD SOLDIERS... At least, he thinks that's what Sol and Luna are as well as Jean.]
no subject
[He was thinking more of Rakka and Blue and... well, you get the idea.
NOT THAT HE LIKES THE IDEA OF CHILD SOLDIERS AT ALL.]
no subject
[Okay, but just look at Blue and tell him that girl wouldn't find a way to take care of herself. There's no way, she'd totally be fine.]
Unfortunately there's not much we can do, is there?
no subject
It suuure doesn't look that way.
I hope it changes for the better.
no subject
As do I.
[But it won't. Of course it won't. We're probably all going to die here.]
...Perhaps we'll be lucky and get a chance to stop the Conductor.
[Seriously he is totally here for waiting in the kitchen at night to ambush this guy. LEGIT PLAN RIGHT THERE.]
no subject
[He'll help. Let's bash the guy over the head with a frying pan.]
no subject
[logan that's kind of]
no subject
We will get out of here, one way or another.
no subject
[gonna execute the conductor, it'll be fun]
