Rule 17 hits like a gutpunch. The plan she'd talked about, as improbable as it already was, had just become much harder.

But something - someone - digs its heels in inside her, the same way it did prior to their most recent trial. The presence of their latest, insurmountable hurdle, has the odd effect of only making Youko more determined.

They're going to win.

There's hot soup, rice, and tea in the kitchen. We're holding a meeting tomorrow morning in the conference room. I want you to be there.

- Youko

Well, that's rude of him if he's got us locked up in an antique dump.

[sunsong]

I mean, has anyone really accused the guy of bein' polite?

[announcemyvictory]

He seemed to be at first, despite the... murder thing. Now it seems that he's just stopped caring.

[sunsong]

Really? I always kinda thought bein' involved in us comin' here was rude. I mean, sure, he says he didn't kidnap us himself. But he fuckin' volunteered for this job lookin' over us and encouragin' us to murder one another.

[announcemyvictory]

I don't know if he was forced or not. Either way, he's an enemy now, whatever he might have come off as before.

[sunsong]

He told me he volunteered for the job.

[ Accepted it. ]

[announcemyvictory]

Is that so... I never asked. I wonder about this, really. All of it.

[sunsong]

It just kinda came up once. Weeks ago, now. I feel like I've got less information on him than other people, though...I'm not much of a correspondent.

[announcemyvictory]

And now I doubt he'll cooperate with anyone.

[sunsong]

Like that's a change of pace...when has he really tried to work with us?

[announcemyvictory]

He's given us the occasional answer. Just never enough.
