WEEK 5 MINGLE - AMARANTHUS

[foundationmods]

Another trial, another horrible outcome.

This time, it affected so many people...and yet, they still weren't done.
Who would be killed next?
Would they be able...to handle whatever happened?🗈

Still, things were just the same as they had been the past few weeks.

The goats and servants were still around, and so too were the witches.
It was all becoming routine at this point.
Was that a good thing, or a bad one...?
It was...too hard to tell, now...

...Either way, they were now closer to the end.
So, like always...they had to see it through.

[foundfate]

...Sakura-san.

[That...sure is something. But ultimately, Watanuki feels sadness for her.]

[respring]

I'm sorry...I'm not a regular friendly girl who likes cooking, aha...

[ A long pause. ]

...I hope you don't think less of me. But I understand if you do.

[foundfate]

...

My story is similar to yours and Nirrti's. Why would I think less of you?

[respring]

[ Frankly, she's not sure why she didn't put the pieces together before now. "Witches are made from despair" and "Watanuki would do anything to see Yuuko again" and "Watanuki is painfully lonely"...maybe he's more well-adjusted than Nirrti, but the signs were right there. ]

...because I gave in. I resisted it for a while, but I gave in to despair, and I hurt and killed a lot of people. I might have gotten out of it, but...it was still something I did.

[foundfate]

Sakura-san, I'm a Witch. That means I gave in too.

And like I said, I wouldn't judge you for it anyway. Because regardless of what you have done, the Sakura-san I know today is a good person.

[respring]

I know, I know, I just--I'm not a good person, so please don't say that...!

[ It's a weaker protest than normal, though. It's getting harder for her to keep saying that. ]

[foundfate]

I think Sakura-chan is a good person.

[Oh look, he didn't choke on his words or anything.]

1/2

[respring]

[ !!

She.

Hrm.

That stops her dead in her tracks. Of course, it could mean he just thinks that, and it's not definitively true, but--no, that's not what he's trying to say. ]

I...

2/2 whew i did not press submit on this

[respring]

[ She honestly doesn't know what to say to that. For a few moments, she's just silent, looking both embarrassed and surprised. ]

I don't know what I did to earn that from you. But...th-thank you.

[foundfate]

It's not about 'earning'. I just don't want you to beat yourself up over this.

[respring]

[ TOO LATE, SHE'S BEEN DOING THAT FOR YEARS

and her expression says as much ]

...you're really too kind to me.

[foundfate]

[Even if she's been doing it for years, she can start to make better choices today.]

I'm kind to my friends, and I consider you my friend.

1/2 again but i'm going to press submit this time

[respring]

Your friend.

[ Again, there's that weird little hand-twitching, feet-tapping motion she does when she wants to do something but is deciding whether or not she should. ]

[respring]

I--

[ ... ]

--nevermind.

[ nah. she needs to not be crying if she's gonna say something like that. maybe later. at that party. wooooo future vision. ]

Um, thank you. Again. I think I just want to...be alone, tonight, after all of this. I'll come see you for dinner tomorrow, if that's alright.
