trustfell | Week 7.

WEEK 7
Orihime Inoue, Estellise Sidos Heurassein, and Kirei Kotomine all died this past week. One of your Coordinators died as well, leaving you with a new face but still no end to this. Several of you are finding yourselves at a crossroads: either keep moving forward, or accept the inevitability of fate. It's your own choice, your own decision; no one's going to make it for you.

Over half of you are gone now.

Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; come Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock and there are no dead bodies to be found, so it can be assumed that all of you are safe for the time being. That said, you'll be feeling a little groggy when you wake up; it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost...

Once again, a new floor has been opened to you; unfortunately, either this is a particularly strange reward or Jericho is starting to get downright sarcastic. Perhaps there's something in it for you despite the setup; who knows, though there's really only one way to find out.

PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 16

...Ohhhh, that makes far more sense. So you think your last...dream, I suppose--that'll catch you up to speed?

I sure hope, unless they held us for two years.

... You said you had a two year gap too, right? Seventeen to nineteen?

...Yeah. I...

[Sayaka pauses for a moment.]

...I still don't have the context for that back. Even if I got...well, I got a memory that was really confusing with everything else.

Do you want to tell me about that?

[ She says this as a gentle question, but seeing the girl shift like that her emotions do run high. Her eyes end up shifting into hunting mode. ]

...It's entirely out of context with the rest of my memories. It...feels so out of place, but...I remembered sealing off the school, with the other students. I couldn't remember much, but...

All of us were there. All of us were working on this, and I was walking around with Naegi-kun. That's--that's something I didn't remember, in the school.

[ . . . Wait, what? She didn't remember it in the school but it's in the school and then the school locked... down-

... An idea hits her. ]

Sayaka, you said you died in the first week at that other game, right? The one in the school you're on about now.

...Yeah, about...five days, I want to say. Did you think of something...?

[...She's kind of scared of the thought.]

This is going to sound somewhat absurd, I'm sure, but we lost out memories here. What if you lost your memories in that other game but died too quickly for them to catch up?

[ And so she's getting them now, after the fact? ]

...What?

[Sayaka recoils at that. Sayaka just--she's bewildered, even if she's thought it before, but there was no way, right? There was no way--]

That's...I don't think we have anything like that at home. But...if that's the case, then what happened to that school...?

You don't have that, but you have a game like this? Please, I think it's quite clear that's just as impossible as anything else.

[ In fact, she's going to put her goggle things back on to look around the room again for ghosts, speaking of impossible. ]

I'm not sure I'm following, but didn't you just get kidnapped to go into the game?

...I...

[Sayaka digs through her head, mentally.]

I remember...walking into the school. Everything looked okay, then, even if I was a bit early. Everything went...blurry, but...after that, when I woke up in that classroom, everything had changed. It didn't look nearly as clean, or pristine...

[ . . . Wait, what? ]

So... time passed, is what you're suspecting?

Yeah. I don't know what I felt, but...I don't know. It felt like everything just kind of swam away from my head, like I'd eaten something bad and passed out, maybe...?

I'm not sure there's a poison that can knock our someone for two years, but who knows. Maybe something like that happened?

...That's probably the closest thing I could think of. I just...I don't know how. I just assumed we all got kidnapped, but...

[Sayaka shudders.]

I...got this memory, before I got the one of my death. And I didn't remember it at all, while I was dying in Naegi-kun's bathroom...

Well like I said, we lost our memories here. The whole situation you described where you died sounds similar to here. I can understand the confusion, but it doesn't seem impossible to me you'd have faulty memories back there.

[ She drums her fingers on the wall. ]

Still, that is odd.

[ Dying... she has to hold back some anger at that. ]

...I don't know if I could handle getting memories back of...whatever came before then...

[Really, that'd just drive her deeper into despair than she already is at the thought of all of this.]

I don't even know what could've happened.

Why wouldn't you want those? A more complete picture's better, right?

...A more complete picture after I nearly killed everyone else out of selfishness.

[Sayaka states that much bluntly, with an undertone of 'Really?' in her voice. Let's just bring the guilt train up to 11, shall we]

[ She does flinch back a little bit there, but...

She inhales and, ]

Yes, why not? Memories are memories, and the complete picture can't be the cruelest thing.

I don't want to think that I very nearly killed people that I'd been friends with for years.

[Sayaka shakes her head rapidly at that.]

[ . . . ]

Might you back up, do you mean you caused this lock down?

...I don't actually know what caused it. I just know what...we were there, and fixing it up...

[she sadly does not remember the state of the outside world]

Then how do you mean you killed them? By taking initiative in that game you were in? Do you mean to say that lot was ... what, your classmates?

[...]

I meant that in the sense of...the rules of the game. I don't...they never actually told us how it runs, but...

If Kuwata-kun doesn't get found and they accuse Naegi-kun, then it's likely they're all going to die for it. And that's because I did something so horrid in the first place.
