 A) To Housemates

[After waking up on her bed after what happened a week ago, the last thing she wanted to do was to stay in the house. She made a promise to Minato that she would stay safe and...well...considering what happened, it wasn't pretty. After a quick change of clothes, she tried her best to sneak past her housemates...she doesn't really

[ It took a lot of courage for Souji to come out during the daytime, but here he was. ]

Minako.

[ She's standing and walking around. I don't see blood on her... This isn't a trick, right? ]

[femtags]

[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]

S-Souji-san, is that you?

[inababanchou]

Yeah.

[ A long pause. Very awkward, especially since he's glaring. What does he say, though? 'Welcome back'? 'Nice to see you again'? That didn't sound very considerate, considering what she just went through. ]

... Are you mad?

[ Mad about what? Her death? Her killer? The event? Or just in general? ]

[femtags]

[This was exactly the reason why she wanted to avoid her friends right now, she was a little ashamed of what she didn't tell them but...she didn't regret her death]

...If you mean my killer, just a bit.

[Kind of opposite of Minako, Minato doesn't really want to leave the house. He's just sitting on his bed, thinking.

The fear he felt the past few days has disappeared, replaced by empty ambiguity. Now that he's experienced death, somehow it seemed like less of a big deal. Well, it still wasn't the most pleasant thing, and he had no desire to experience it again, but he now understood what people meant when they said death wasn't a big deal in Mayfield.

Which still didn't make it okay to kill. Speaking of which, if he was back alive did this mean...?

He isn't sure if he could face her right now, but he needs to check and see if she's alright. Gathering his courage, he gets up and walks toward the door. He opens it, taking a deep breath before doing so.]

[As Minako was finished dressing herself up, she looked at the hallway. Good, no one was there. This was her chance to escape! She opened the door and quickly tried to sneak downstairs.

So far so good!]

[doudemoe]

[Too bad for Minako that he opened the door at impeccable timing.

So she was alive,...and was trying to sneak outside again? Nope, not this time missy.]

Minako.

[femtags]

[...Whyyyyyyyy. Anyway, Minako froze in place as she saw Minato in front of her]

...M-Minato-san...

"We do? I see... But you are back... So that is something at least... Perhaps only once for ever soul endangered...."

[She starts muttering to herself]

[femtags]

Elizabeth-san, if you are like Theodore, I wanted to tell you that you shouldn't do it.

[elevatoravatar]

"Of course not. I do not have the right persona now. The time to strike is then, and when he lets his guard down."

[femtags]

That's not what I meant, you shouldn't go after him at all! Or ever!

[rapier_ex]

I find myself in agreement, miss.

[femtags]

I'm glad there's someone here who agrees with me!

...I was worried that it might be a little bit too soon.

[rapier_ex]

Never too soon, in my book.

[femtags]

I'm glad...I just hope that people really do give others another chance.

But...I think I finally understand how bad Mayfield can be.

[...There were so many things he wanted to say... but. By now, she'd probably heard everything he had to say a million times from the others. So instead...]

I think we all underestimated just how crazy this town is. We had all the warning signs in the world thanks to other people, but... I don't think any of us could have been prepared for what happened.

...I'm just glad you're back. The meetings would've been pretty dull without you around.

[femtags]

That is true...it's one thing to hear it and experience it. I never taught it would do something this horrible to people...and more than once too!

[A pause]

Ahaha, thanks! I'll be sure to make it more fun during the next meeting!

[iheartcabbage]

[And then a sudden change of tones. Sure, the effects of the city's bullshit had worn off by now but... that didn't stop him from feeling like shit.]

...I wish I could've actually done something to save you kids. I was nothing but useless during the whole ordeal. ...Next time, I'll be sure not to let you kids down.

[femtags]

Adachi-san...

[If Adachi could see, Minako is smiling just a bit]

...Have to talked to Souji-san yet? He said the same thing too. Let your guilty be your strength...I'm going to do that too...
