WEEK 2 - INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

INVESTIGATION

This time, the wakeup is familiar - yet not any less nerve-wracking. Though you have survived the night, the knowledge that the Mafia - the monsters - have killed is ringing loudly in your mind.

The hotel speakers crackle to life just like before, drawing your attention and startling you. Heart racing, you listen to the announcement...


??? GUESTS REMAIN.

GORE WARNING FOR THIS LOG.

If you want. But if it bothered you, you don't have to look again.

[He can hold her hand and lead her around while she closes her eyes or something.]

[dereban]

I do. I don't want you to go alone, Atsushi. I'll be fine, okay?

[ She's trying so hard to be reassuring, wearing a tired smile on her lips. ]

Let's go.

[moonlightbeast]

[The fact that she doesn't want him to be alone is...nice, really. Especially given his fears and negative personality traits. But he can't find it in himself to give more than a ghost of a smile, before nodding to the door.]

Let's go, then.

[dereban]

[ Inaba worries about people and she honestly wouldn't want anyone to be alone for this. She really doesn't want to be alone herself, either, anyway.

She nods, leading the way once again, quiet. ]

[moonlightbeast]

[Inaba that is incredibly sweet, if a bit misguided, of you.

Atsushi will follow her to Yoshi's body, but when he finally sees it, he flinches and tugs Inaba back away from it. Moreso to protect her, even though she already saw the body.]

They...why?!

[dereban]

I don't know why it had to be so... excessive. It's all honestly really fucked up, though. All of it.

[ Her voice is complete steel, and even though he's protecting her, she can't help but see the body in her mind. It's too fresh. ]

Anyway, this is enough, isn't it? We should go back.

[moonlightbeast]

Y-yes, this is. Yes.

[Let's just hurry back now, since wow yeah Yoshi is definitely dead.]

I'm sorry I asked.

[dereban]

...

[ She probably could have stopped him by force, but that... would not have been good. Nevertheless, she does grab his arm to show him that yes, she's here, and also to help tug him back inside. ]

It's fine. You couldn't have known. I'm sorry.

[moonlightbeast]

I just...I had to know for sure.

[That Yoshi was dead, he means.]

'Don't call them dead until you see a body.' That's what Dazai-san always told me.

[...maybe don't question why his boss told him that advice, too.]

[dereban]

No, that makes sense. But I still think that you shouldn't have seen it, regardless.

[ None of them should have. ]
