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.]

[IT WAS A HARD DAY FOR RAKKA, ASHLEY.]

Uh, [a little nod.] it would be nice if you did.

.... [Speaking of... she turns her gaze away from the scarf, almost a little pained to look at it.] Umm, Ashley? I wanted to, uh... thank you, for earlier.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Thank me? You mean for...when Hibiki...?

[Ah. This is awkward...]

[charcoalfeather]

[A little, somber nod.]

I... appreciated it. And I think Hibiki did too.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

You were both upset. I had to do something.

[...she keeps saying that, doesn't she?]

...You're welcome.

[charcoalfeather]

I know. [Upset was putting it lightly.]

.... I want to hope that everything will be fine, and we'll all go home. [She frowned, eyes drawn into the flames of the candles.] But why us, why do we need to do this?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

...I don't know. Because... I don't know. Because he...found us interesting, whoever brought us here.

[She closes her eyes.] I don't know.

[charcoalfeather]

Whoever did... [She lets herself lean a little against the taller girl, eyes kept down.]

...Feeling like this, it almost feels familiar somehow.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Like what? What are you talking about?

[charcoalfeather]

Like... I want to know something, but whatever it is might not even make sense.

[She gave a slow shake of her head.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

You think...it's something from your memories?

[charcoalfeather]

....Mm, maybe. I... just wish I could get an answer. Anything, at least.

[She has a lot of feelings about a lot of things, Ashley. THIS IS RAKKA'S LIFE.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Maybe...this weekend, you'll remember something else. Something...helpful.
