Didn't we just do this last week?

[perpend]

[It's starting to look like this is going to be a weekly occurrence.

Just like last week, Cabanela waits a while before he makes his rounds, writing everyone quick notes and sliding them under each occupied door.]

Stay strong.
If you don't want to be alone tonight, meet in the dining hall.
-Cabanela

[Like last week, Cabanela hasn't bothered to provide anyone with food-- that would just be... rude right now, he thinks. Upon first entering, you'll notice that there are now four lit candles in the center of one of the tables.

Feel free to leave mementos for the dead; it's probably appreciated.]

I wonder sometimes... I mean, clearly, there's no other choice, is there? I just hope that we'll get out and not have to worry, even if that sounds a little foolish. Don't laugh.

[perpend]

I hope so, too.

As many of us as possible.

[He gives a smile, though it's awkward.]

I'm nooot going to laugh, don't worry.

[announcemyvictory]

But isn't this hope a little... well. If you aren't going to laugh, then it's all fine. There's still a chance even if it is silly.

[perpend]

Even if hope it's silly at this point, it's all we have. We need to hold onto it, all of us.

[announcemyvictory]

Instead of going off murdering one another. One would think that would be common sense.

[perpend]

At this point, I don't know if anyone would listen.

I'm sure the Conductor would try to threaten his way into another murder. I wiiish I could say this is the end, but I'm not so sure.

[announcemyvictory]

What would he even use? That motive barely swayed Undyne and Byakuren. They had their own reasons.

[perpend]

Maybe we don't remember enough to have the motives be effective.

I'm worried about that changing, though I've no idea what else he has planned.

[announcemyvictory]

Don't remember enough? How do you mean? I suppose a motive like that might have been more effective if you did remember more, if it were true, but if it's not, it might make someone afraid enough.

[perpend]

We all have holes in our memories right now. I'm just wonderin' if... maybe the motive didn't effect people because they're missing memories.

Undyne said it didn't really effect her, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't intended for sooomebody. I'm just not sure who, and no one would come forward given the circumstances.

[announcemyvictory]

So you think the motives are targeted? I wonder...

[perpend]

[Cabanela gives a nod.]

I have no way of knowing of course, since there wasn't one in the first week, but I think it's at least a possibility.

[announcemyvictory]

Then we'll need to watch, but that still leaves us unprepared.

[perpend]

Maybe we'll find a way to be prepared next time. We screwed up this week, didn't even notice anything was going on-- but maybe we'll be able to stop the next person who aaacts.

[announcemyvictory]

That's probably the only thing left. Hope, that is.

[perpend]

It's not a bad thing to have, hope.

At least I dooon't think so.

[announcemyvictory]

You don't sound so sure.

[perpend]

No, I guess not.

I need to get my confidence up, dooon't I?
