[CONTINUE + 4] Week 1 || Act: mingle

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, though now there's far, far less of them.

Is time running out for the mission? How many more loops do you have?

...You feel as if something is watching you when you're not looking.

You're not giving me any reason why it should be you except that perhaps you see yourself as a little more expendable than anyone else in that group, which is ridiculous in itself, considering you're one of the most productive people here.

... I'm actively one of the only people who doesn't want to murder the entity and instead wants to talk and reason with them.

I'll say this in the most blunt way possible, in hypotheticals, given that I don't plan on dying - on really dying: if they want everyone to kill it, wouldn't it be for the best to get rid of the one person who would want to stand in the way for it?

It gives way to a motive.

Not all of these things want to talk or be reasoned with, you know.

[Winchester experience speaking, honestly.]

There's every chance that this sort of ploy, which would also rely on possibly Red manipulating things in the background, could result in your erasure.

Perhaps. But you never know unless you try. You can't assume anything.

... maybe. But I was already willing to risk a lot.

Did you even think to talk to Atsushi-kun before volunteering, then?

He's already seen you dead once, you know.

... he's seen me dead twice.

[She corrects, a little solemnly.]

I guess you could say I'm being a little selfish. But then again - I also don't know what his stance is regarding the entity, either.

[Does he want it dead? Or will he agree with her? She doesn't know. She hasn't had the chance to ask.

In fact, she can't help but question the fact that she hasn't gotten the chance to speak to him all that much, this time around. And that thought terrifies her.]

Maybe be a little less selfish in this regard, then. Talk to Atsushi-kun first, at the very least. Everyone tells me I'd regret it if I don't talk to certain people if I did things, so obviously, this is salient advice to be giving.

...

[There's a flicker in her eyes of worry before she sighs.]

I do want to talk to him more.

And besides - this sort of thing was never my first option to begin with.

[She'd honestly prefer alternatives. Not investigating, not participating in the trials, outright leaving- other, other options.]
