are we actually living? or are we being kept alive?

After the execution, the survivors are dismissed to rest in preparation for the next week. The miasma curls and turns into each room, letting fall a cold and oppressive atmosphere that fills every corner of the place.

And yet, even in a place that has caused so much grief, life must go on. Thirteen has always been considered to be an unlucky number, but that is the number of people that are left--what will you do, in this false calm?

...if Battler's... if Battler being part of the miasma doesn't change things, I can be just about anything for thirty minutes, and—invulnerable during those thirty minutes. I... I-I was able to escape a room full of acid webs and spiders, before.

[She rubs her arms in a slow half-hug.]

...if we need somebody to take in a bomb or some other delayed a-attack and make sure it stays there long enough to be effective... I think I-I might be our best bet?

[ Time to just kidnap her.

Or just put an arm around her and leans against ]

If you do that, then we can always shoo the ghosts away from you afterwards.

[ He isn't sure about using her though cause hello??? ]

[is kidnap]

...yeah. And, um, if it works then... then they won't be there to worry about, right?

Right! That's why we should test if I can command them to leave first.

[ Who knows what they would do... carry her off for a bit.

Lowering his voice as he leans his face close to her ear.]

Also, if there's a chance... take Dazai and run.

We're taking you, too.

[Her voice is also quiet, but stubborn.]

What am I going to do? A cute girl says she wants to take me, too.

[ there's a pause as he leans in to press a kiss against her cheek. ]

I have to stay long enough to take care of the souls here, Yachi. I'll join up with the two of you afterwards.
