the truth is, everyone wishes to be saved.

The execution has come and passed with the death of two more Agents. However time moves on without cease and so must the living. There are no celebrations, only the silence that grows heavier and heavier with every day and the feeling that something is pleased with what it has done.

There are two more days before the new week arrives: what will you do?

[as soon as they are back Sissel spends the night glued to Battler- but will make himself scarce if someone comes to talk to him. Or at least appear as such unless someone does a private thread then he'll leave for real. But he can be caught checking on the group once and a while, likely after his friend is asleep. So if you want to talk to him, he's grabbable.

On Sunday he gets food and patrols, but he still mostly stays in the bedrooms. If anyone needs him though, he's willing to leave for short bursts... if a bit anxiously]

[finalring]

[ after the trial, romani remains just a little longer in the room before walking away. but he's only able to do so momentarily, no more than ten or fifteen minutes.

for some reason, he feels his legs direct him back to the living room, where the remains of rin and zabuza lay still; dead.

he walks up to rin's corse--what remains of her at least, uncaring of getting his shoes dirtied. who cared about such a thing now? now when everything had gone to hell, when he had voted not for one, but two of the most important people in someone's life? and all for the sake of the chance at being rescued?

he kneels down in front of her, rin's glazed eyes staring back up at him. two votes. ]

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

[ for the first time in what feels like forever, romani lets himself cry in front of the person that he feels he himself killed.

afterwards, romani can be found in the dining room. for once, his hands are uncovered, as he stares blankly at a ring that's on the table.

and on sunday? romani will be around. it looks like he's looking for something, though... hm. ]

[If anyone goes to check on battler in room 6...They'll find he's not there, having slipped out when someone wasn't watching him. They'll also notice A lot of Rin's personal belongings are gone in her room.

Instead...He can be found in The Guest bedroom, on the bed, holding onto a certain red sweater that belonged to a girl who's no longer here.

He doesn't move much, just to get the essentials - but he stays there the entire weekend, his eyes looking almost as dead as the rest of the ghosts there.]

[oxidegreen]

[On Saturday, Marona simply goes back to room 2 and stays there for the night. The plush toy Nanaka left for her ends up next to the flowers that Haku had asked her to grow, and she stares at the little display from her bunk for the rest of the night, lost in her own thoughts.

On Sunday she can be found in the library, trying to see if there's any books that are not only undamaged, but worth salvaging. ...Unfortunately, she's not much of a reader anyway, so this is a largely pointless endeavor that she clearly isn't putting much heart into.]

sunday

[ghostricked]

[Sissel manages to avoid the doctor after the trial, honestly. But his looking around on Sunday gets his attention]

Lose something?

[finalring]

Mm, not really? Sort of?

[ he's trying to look as composed as possible, even giving sissel a small smile! ]

I just wanted to see if the raccoon had come back.

[ghostricked]

[Sorry buddy. He doesn't stop him from moving- couldn't even if he wanted to. But Sissel is like a little shadow all weekend. Saying nothing. Just... existing to make sure he doesn't do anything reckless while he grieves]

[ghostricked]

It might have, for the food. Though I think Subete and Crow scared it off pretty good.

Dining room

[zweivoltage]

[Ky started to make tea, mainly for Battler, but he saw Romani, and soon brought a cup over]

A... ring? Are you married Dr. Archaman?

bulli;

[tangentlion]

[a cold voice from behind Romani]

Don't cry. We'll take good care of her.

sunday

[zweivoltage]

[He approaches, and kneels in front of Sissel, scratching his ears if allowed to]

How are you holding up?

[ghostricked]

I should be asking you that.

[Of course he allows it!]

1/2

[finalring]

AAAH—!!

[ he turns around, drawing his gun at the intruder ]

[notbymyside]

[Well. Today sucked.

Saturday, Ango can be found in his room, sitting on his bed. He will either be writing in his notebook or falling asleep while writing in his notebook, but either way he's in his bed doing that.

On Sunday, he actually gets out of bed and wanders the house a bit. He seems to be making sure all the food in the pantry makes it to the kitchen.]

[boardreversal]

[You can't really do anything reckless if you don't...do anything.

At all.

Though when Sissel comes in front of him, he just...presses his face into the tiny cat's fur, and cries soundlessly.]

It's...my fault....

[finalring]

[ but once he sees it’s sho he.... puts it away.

he wipes his tears with the back of his hand, glaring. ]

It must be tough. Having to do as it asks.

[ghostricked]

[He lays down and allows it]

Of course it's not, Battler.

dining room;

[sageking]

[ After the wretched affair, Gilgamesh went about his own business, but more importantly, he went to track down the red head.

His eyes flickered over to the ring for but a moment. ]

Take that with you and follow me.

[ If they were going to talk, he'd prefer it be elsewhere. The dining room itself was too popular a destination, he felt. ]

[private]

[cw_suicide]

[sunday, it is.

and the door is shutting when Dazai enters the pantry before Ango can leave at one point]

Let's have a chat. Ango.

[finalring]

Ah... uh...not really.

[ he looks a little embarrassed about it. tired, but embarrassed ]

[zweivoltage]

I'm fi-

[He pauses, before shaking his head]

I'm not okay - to be honest. Don't tell anyone else though, they need some people to be Fine.

[tangentlion]

Ha? You trying to pretend like you care about me now? Well... I guess we see what happens to people you claim to care about. [he tilts his head, looking at Rin's body] What did you think was going to happen, Doctor Zero? You voted for her.

[ghostricked]

I can handle that part. It's okay to not be okay, you know.

[zweivoltage]

Oh - complicated?

[He pushes the cup over, before sitting down at the table]

[boardreversal]

[He shakes his head.]

I promised....I promised her...that I wouldn't let her get...

But...I...I couldn't think...of anyone else to suggest, and then, Aunt Rosa....

Her death....happened, because I....was useless...
