Week 4

It finally happened. Someone murdered, and was punished for it. After a particularly grueling trial, one much worse than the games ever were, everyone definitely needed the rest of the weekend to rest up. But now it is Monday once more, and that means it is time to get back to 'work'.

The cameras have moved again, and the contestants will need to be careful where they say what until their new locations have been revealed. In addition to that, the house itself seems to have changed, with its usual colorful appearance suddenly a bit more grey. Even the weather seems to be gloomy, with those storm clouds from last week starting to overcast the area, threatening to drop rain.

Seventeen contestants remain in this game of death. How many more will fall before the game is over? And how many more will be driven to murder?

[He knows he won't get everyone but he should get most of you.]

[Just stares Doezai down and pointedly doesn't drink with a raised eyebrow.

Listen, all education was in house at the orphanage.]

[hi-5 BSD trauma team!]

You're not really missing anything, Atsushi-kun. I've heard stories. Horrible ones.

How horrible could a real school be? It always sounded fun.

It's terrible! They make you sit in stuffy classrooms all day, and they're too warm in the summer and too cold in the winter. And you have to do so much work and every class has so much homework that every evening is spent studying instead of having fun. And that's not even getting into gym class.

See, that doesn't actually sound that bad. The classroom at the orphanage got too hot and cold anyway?

[...The whole place did, really.]

.......it depends on the school.

That's still different.

...If it were any other level of school...

[Sips.]

[...She looks a bit solemn, but she doesn't drink.]

...Saki-san?

Hm? Oh- it's nothing.

[Said very much in the tone of trying a little too hard to sound unconcerned.]

I've been to school, but we don't really have high school like you do here. That's all.

[And, well, her school was...]

Ahh, makes sense.

[He gets the underlying meaning there. They can talk about it later.]

You know, I should show you my uniform sometime. I just got it back recently.

[ just saying. also drinking. ]

[...sighs, and takes the tiniest little sip.]

Barely.

You haven't?

[ Azura does not drink! Because she's a princess and had royal tutors and the like. But she's curious about Doezai's answer. ]

Nope! Joined 'the mafia' when I was only in middle school.

[The emphasis on 'the mafia' there makes it clear he's talking about the Foundation, not the real mafia.]

Truly? Did you simply not have any formal education beyond that?

[ she would say 'did you not have tutors' but saying that as a response to 'the mafia' sounds dumb as shit, god ]
