nobody's in the mood for recording 6.9: the post-trial garden tea "party"

[tsunderine]

The flowers that bloomed at the end of the trial are ones that only seem to prove, continuously, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Of course, it's only natural that many of the people are full of mixed emotions - grief? sadness? anger? frustration? maybe something else completely different?

But it's there, along with the end of the week.

Miasma still continues to be around, of course - but make use of the fact that this might be the last time it'll be at a low level one before it shoots up again.


Well.

Life continues as usual, disregarding any feelings that any of the house's occupants might be feeling.

So what are you doing these next two days?

sunday

[finalring]

Yachi?

[ he tilts his head to the side as he watches her carry clothes. ]

Do you need, uh, help?

[accessorytomurder]

...yes please, Doctor.

[She gives him a wan smile.]

I... don't know if we'll get to keep these, if we lose the Dressing Room tomorrow. But, I figured... I figured we might as well try to stock up, in case any more clothes get... ruined.

[finalring]

Ahh, that's a good idea!

[ he'll give her a slightly brighter smile. ]

Let's see... I can take what you're carrying right now. That's gonna go to the washing room, won't it?

[accessorytomurder]

Yes. I... planned on using the Trash Room in case... in case something bad h-happened, but...

[She hands over her load.]

...but, I made those plans with Yuri.

[finalring]

...Right.

[ his smile falters for a moment, and he sighs. ]

You're doing this in her memory, then? You're a good kid.

[accessorytomurder]

...not good enough. I d-didn't—last night, I didn't... notice anything...!

[finalring]

She probably had to keep it hidden until today, Yachi. Like a cruel joke from the Vessel. It's not your fault.

[accessorytomurder]

I hugged her... And she was... even then, she was already hurt...

[finalring]

I think she must have appreciated that. Even if she was hurt, and you didn't know, that hug must have helped her a little.

[accessorytomurder]

...she was helping me. Even then...

[Yuri...]

[finalring]

She really liked helping people, huh...

[ that just makes it all more painful. ]

But I don't think she would want you to be beating yourself up over it, Yachi. She would want better for you.

[accessorytomurder]

I-I know. The last thing she said...

[Yuri...!

She puts her face in her hands.]

Sh-she was so good, Doctor. I-It's not... it's not...!

[finalring]

It's okay. I know it's not fair.

[ he'll ??? pat her head??? oh god she's crying??? ]

But we have to keep moving, Yachi. She would want that for you.

[accessorytomurder]

[She's not crying!

...yet!]

i-I know. I know. It's just... not...

[She gusts out a shuddering sigh.]

It... it was an accident, again...

[finalring]

I know. That's what makes it even more difficult, huh?

[ he sighs. ]

[accessorytomurder]

...yeah. I don't—want people to want to k-kill people. But...
