[CONTINUE] Week 1 || Act: mingle

[foundationmods]

Monday comes onto the snowy town once more, though it still looks as if it's 'night' as ever.

Then again, you are underground. That's just to be expected, considering no natural light can get down here in the first place. The Monsters around you are just as friendly as ever, despite this being your second 'time' trying this monday.

...Though....are there a few less Monsters here than there were before? ...Nah. You must be imagining it.

You still have a mission - and after the events of the last trial, you want to do your best to stop whatever is causing this.

But, hey. You really do have nothing but time now to figure it out.

It's the same for a lot of people, isn't it?

Lying is how everyone gets by with the ugliness.

[dereban]

Hmm, is it now?

I didn't know that!

[cw_suicide]

I'd be delighted to be proven wrong, of course~

[dereban]

[...]

Am I allowed to use a person as an example?

[cw_suicide]

[... why does this feel like a trap.]

Haa? What person?

[dereban]

Yoshi.

[cw_suicide]

... that's cheating.

[dereban]

You said 'everyone', and Yoshi is a part of 'everyone', so therefore, he counts and I win.

[cw_suicide]

Yoshi-kun is an outlier. And thus the exception which proves the rule!

[dereban]

. . . my point still stands, though.

But now you make me want to face the ugliness head on instead of hiding it.

[Is she a little spiteful?

Maybe.]

[cw_suicide]

By all means, if you dare.

[dereban]

Fine.

Honesty starting now. With exceptions, of course.

[cw_suicide]

Isn't that always the way of it?

[dereban]

There's a difference between 'lying to protect yourself' and 'lying to hide the ugliness of things', Dazai.

So.

Yeah.

[cw_suicide]

There's also an overlap.

But if you mean lying to the monsters, then that's fine.

[dereban]

That's mostly what I meant. I'd like to not die a third time.

[cw_suicide]

So determined.

[dereban]

I'm a competitive person.

[cw_suicide]

Is this a competition?

[dereban]

It is now!

[cw_suicide]

... who are you competing against?

[dereban]

The idea that 'people have to always lie to get by with the ugliness'.

[cw_suicide]

... against an idea, huh.

[dereban]

Yep.

It's a pretty dangerous tactic for me, but - hey. Maybe it'll work in my favor.
