[So on Tuesday Marcell ended up drinking the milk because he was too afraid of what would happen if he didn't. Obviously, this means he got a helping of Grade A poison.

In the morning (A), Marcell can be seen trying to get around town and do things, looking pale and positively ill. Maybe he shouldn't have drank the milk.

Later in the afternoon (B

[ Rica went out to scout the town and see how things were turning out, and buy supplies for her silly little plan. But it's hard to ignore someone looking so sick when you pass by. ]

mi-? Are you okay? You look like an "aboo aboo" Mr.ghosty.

[isolationbox]

...What?

[badend_replay]

[ Rika will point to her own face, to indirectly motion to his own. ]

You are very pale. It is not a good thing, I do not think.

Are you okay?

[isolationbox]

I-I'll be fine.

[...he thinks.]

[badend_replay]

Even if you say that your face is trying to say something else.

Where are you intending to go this morning? You should be at home resting.

[isolationbox]

I-I guess I should.

[Staying inside makes him feel antsy, but then again, Rika has a point.]

[badend_replay]

Yes, that would be. Unless, is there something you are trying to get or a place you wish to go? I could accompany you there and to your house, to be sure you do not become any more sad and pale looking! Perhaps an outing will make you feel more like resting.

[ Because with the combination of the milk law nonsense and this kid looking so sick, Rika doesn't have very high hopes for his day. Such an optimist. ]

[isolationbox]

[He certainly is having lower and lower expectation for his day himself.]

N-no, it's fine. I'll go back home.

[...Why do you have to point out he's sad and pale looking, though...]

[badend_replay]

[ Well, because you are~. Rika's not always kind. ]

mi~i. If you are sure.

Will you be okay walking home by yourself?

[isolationbox]

Y-yeah. I'm sure.

[badend_replay]

... Okay then.

[ It feels weird to just let him go. She's 99% sure he's going to be dead later... but she nods and stands still, to let him leave. ]

... Good luck.
