I value them, but I won't cry every time one's wiped out.

A fair amount of Sunday comes and goes with little interruption and little fanfare; some of you are having a harder time than others, some of you are looking at the new floor with more interest than the rest, but overall the day is perhaps as normal as it can get in this place. However, Jericho had mentioned changes were going to take place today – and while Jericho has proven himself to be a lot of things, he doesn't seem too interested in lying to all of you. As such, his voice can be heard over the public-address system on Sunday evening, at around six o'clock; he doesn't seem agitated like he was during the end of the trial, but he doesn't seem up to his usual levels of enthusiasm, either – he's back to that sort of weird tone that he was using when Yosuke was punished all those weeks ago, odd and unaffected. "Hey. Like I said a little while ago, we're going to be seeing some changes around here. Meet in the foyer as soon as possible; I'm not going to offer you anything, or threaten to do something to you if you don't go, but it's one of those things where you're definitely going to want to know what's going on. We'll be waiting for you, like always." Once again, you might want to go.

That's it? You- you just killed her, and you don't- that's it?!

[trustbound]

I don't what? I don't care, is that where that was going? Because I never said that I don't, and you should probably keep your thoughts in your damn head if that's where this was going.

[ She's quiet for a moment. ]

How can you...react like this? How can- why are any of you doing this thing where you're told to kill your family?

[trustbound]

Because this is what we're here to do. This is part of the job, and risk we all know exists.

That's literally it.

[sleepytimegal]

Why do you do this kind of sick job? If I had a choice, I'd never-- [ ... ] Are you gonna say it doesn't matter?

[trustbound]

[That...gets something of an odd look, honestly.]

No...? Though I think I'm entitled to know why you're asking.

[sleepytimegal]

...'Cause I want to understand. I wanted to understand her, but she wouldn't tell me.

[ And...now it's too late. ]

I want to know why we're here...and you too.

[trustbound]

I'm not really interested in talking about my personal life. Though I'm pretty sure you'll come see me later and ask anyway, if it's that important to you.

[sleepytimegal]

...Yeah. I guess I will.
