[Voice - forgot to lock]

...I haven't seen Mi-chan in over a day. Keiichi-kun hasn't been here, either, but Rena knows he's awake because Mi-chan mentioned it in her ramblings. I don't think she knows I can hear her, but the sound carries, since Rena's the only one in a cell.

Rena-san...

[cleaver_bitch]

...hi, Karen-chan.

[bluespring]

Rena-san, don't give up. Everything will be fine, I'm sure of it.

[cleaver_bitch]

I forgot and now they're going and it's my fault it's all my fault it's all happening again I don't want it to I don't want any of this...

[bluespring]

You forgot? What did you forget?

[cleaver_bitch]

I forgot to lock this from Mi-chan and Keiichi-kun.

[bluespring]

Don't worry about that now. Just stay calm. There's definitely something we can do.

[cleaver_bitch]

But Mi-chan said that they'll have to speed things up now, and she claims she'll be back tomorrow, and what if...what if tomorrow's the day...

[she suddenly breaks into a coughing fit]

[bluespring]

The day? Rena-san, are you all right?

[cleaver_bitch]

Ah...

[the coughing continues for a full minute, then tapers off]

...I'm all right...my throat's dry...

[bluespring]

How long have you been in there?

[cleaver_bitch]

Nnn...at least a few days.

[bluespring]

What is she thinking? You need water!

[cleaver_bitch]

She has! But...it's been at least a day since she came down here last.

[bluespring]

That idiot...
