... or maybe something like Evan again?

[slobjection]

An accident?

... Suppose we can't rule it out, until we get more details.

chat distracted me so much

[haw]

I kinda miss when we didn't get these ominous previews before the main event.

... is it just my eye bein' fucky, or can ya hardly make heads or tails of these prints, too?

[vigilantics]

Not at all.

We probably won't be able to until tomorrow.

[slobjection]

.... Yeah. That does seem to be the pattern.

We should make sure to check this location first, though. Tomorrow. Just in case the crying is from someone trapped here.

[haw]

Wait—is someone missin'? Should we head back to the camp an' get a headcount?

[vigilantics]

Not that I know of...?

[slobjection]

I might be being overcautious. But this did happen back at the mansion -- they weren't able to be found until the trial. So might be worth doing.

[haw]

... ain't it fucked up how much of a chore we're treatin' shit like this as?

I'm not really a fan of the kind of person it's turning me into.

[slobjection]

...

Constant murder competitions with no apparent escape will do that to you, I guess.

[ he doesn't seem to be a fan, either. ]

[ there's a moment where majima, too, is silent, before he asks them a series of two questions: ]

How did ya do it? You two and everyone else who wasn't from the temple... how did ya deal with not knowin' if you were gonna end up dead or not every Thursday night?

[vigilantics]

... you just keep moving forward, I guess.

Back home, I kind of have a dangerous job. The kind where any day could probably be your last if you make the wrong move. The situation here isn't exactly the same, but... I just decide to think about the scary stuff later.

[slobjection]

... Well put.

[ to stephanie. ]

Can't say my job is quite that intense, but I've danced around my fair share of deadly threats. I just try to focus on what has to be done. The big picture.

[ and drink a lot of grape juice ]

[haw]

Can't say I'm a stranger to that...

[ his scars—both on his body and his mind—are a testament to the fact. but, still... ]

Guess the temple just made me soft. We took dyin' for granted, since we knew the whole time we'd all be comin' back in the end.

[vigilantics]

... you probably didn't take it too much for granted. Dying always sucks, even if you get revived in the end.

[ ... ]

Which we're going to make sure happens this time! Right?

[slobjection]

No kidding.

[ speaking from experience...... dying sucks. ]

We are, no matter what. That's what I've been focusing on.
