Week 4, Saturday

[foundationmods]

[As everyone files into the studio once more, they will be invited up on stage instead of to their audience seats as they normally are. On the far left of the stage is a set of 16 chairs, one for each living contestant, arranged in two rows of 8. On the right is a podium for Dazai to stand at, and in the center is a big board with spaces and numbers on it.

Once everyone gets settled in, it's time for the game.]

[ oda forces himself to watch as atsushi is killed.

he's in a daze, and is probably not even breathing, but his eyes are now fixed on nora. ]

[prayerwheel]

[ Azura screams and the water revolving around heal group stutters and vanishes. ]

Atsushi--!

[ There's no way he survived that. None. Not a chance. ]

[odasaku]

He didn't--

[ his voice cuts off as he realizes that there's an overwhelming amount of emotion trying to come out.

oda shakes his head, and tries again. ]

I'm sorry.

[prayerwheel]

[ yeah she's probably crying on leo's hair now ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Saki can't watch - the sound makes her close them out of reflex.

It might be for the best.

One hand remains over her mouth to stifle her sobs as the other wraps around herself, shaking in her horror, in her grief.

She can't do this. She just can't do this anymore.]

[odasaku]

[ while he doesn't feel like he has the right to do this, after everything he's done...oda wraps his arms around her. ]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Saki.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[There's nothing for her to say, even if she could.

So instead, she stands, entire body tense and shaking with her cries.

She's lost again.

She's lost again, and she's completely helpless to do anything about it.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen is also very sorry she can't help be here for Saki now because she's busy getting knocked over for Leo care purposes.]

[dereban]

[ she watches.

of course she does. but she hears the gunshots and that immediately causes her to freeze up.

she doesn't hear the words they're saying and a part of her is glad that she doesn't. but her mind is shaken by the death in spite of telling herself that she knows that this has to happen. two people have to die.

Atsushi probably. . . knew that, didn't he?

it's.

it's the same, though.

week four, Saturday. Nakajima Atsushi is dead. she feels like she's in two places at once.

she can practically see the Hotel again- see the Lady turn off Atsushi's powers and shoot him.

it's the exact same.

she can hear his voice, saying that he's sorry.

and she can feel her body almost want to crumple but she's just stilled in her seat, staring at the lifeless body in front of her, but also feeling like she's repeated the same thing that happened before.

she wants to open her mouth to say something, anything--

but what comes out is nothing. not at first, anyway. but eventually something comes out but she can't hear it. what's that sound? it's loud and ringing in her ears. it's... her very own screams as the tears just can't seem to stop because she feels like she's just reliving this death all over again.

she can't take it.

she can't do this anymore. ]

[Karen is very sorry that she's too busy Leoing to hug her or anything.]
