WEEK 2 - EXECUTION

[foundationmods]

EXECUTION

Just like before, you all get up in the morning...but you know that after today, there will be less of you.

The Lady appears again, leading you all up the stairs to the third floor, just like before. You arrive at the chapel - where a screen near the altar is already playing a video, the sound of the most beautiful instrument in the world washing over you all as you take a seat in the pews.

The Lady puts down some tarp near the altar, as if expecting this to get messy. When she's finished, she sets her gaze on all of you, her beautiful face somehow awful during this moment before someone dies.

"Good morning. Shall we begin this execution?"

[dereban]

. . .hey.

[ Inaba can tell that his hands are shaking since she's rather observant, but going to place a hand on his shoulder nevertheless. ]

Will you be okay?

[moonlightbeast]

He got away.

[It's not quite an answer to Inaba's question, but at the same time it explains some things.]

[dereban]

I know.

[ There's a quiet, steaming, righteous anger bubbling in her voice. ]

And it fucking sucks. But we have to move forward, if we really want to defeat them in the end. Think of the bigger picture. Of course, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be upset or mad, because you definitely have the right to do that much.

[moonlightbeast]

I-I know, we still have a lot to do, but it's- it's hard. Thinking that Flat-san died for nothing.

[dereban]

Not entirely nothing.

[ She's thinking of the bigger picture here. . . ] But it still sucks that he had to die and that bastard gets to take over someone else.

[moonlightbeast]

[He nods. He does know it's not entirely nothing, but it sure feels like that right now.]

I'm tired, Inaba-san. I'm tired, and this is far from over.

[dereban]

I know.

I fucking know. We all are and none of us deserve this bullshit. Anyway, we should get out of here.

[moonlightbeast]

...Mmm.

[Can he grab her hand? He wants to hold her hand.]

Stay with me for a little while?

[dereban]

[ He can! She'll even squeeze it reassuringly. ]

Sure. I'll stay with you for as long as I can.

[moonlightbeast]

Thank you.

[Maybe they can just sit around and do nothing and de-stress from this whole weekend. Atsushi would like that.]

[dereban]

You're welcome. Do you want to eat? ... probably something that isn't. Meat.

[moonlightbeast]

Maybe just a lot of rice. Or chatzuke.

[It's a comfort food for him.]

[dereban]

We can definitely do that for sure. I might ask for some ramen.

[moonlightbeast]

Ramen sounds pretty good too, honestly.
