[ Silence has settled in the resort, but the lack of auditory input hardly seems to matter when there is an overwhelming stench of death hanging in the air of the third floor. Burned flesh, the iron stench of blood, burned hair... guts and decay. All everywhere.

No staff appears to clean the mess. There's only yourselves now and the remnants of what used to be your friends. ]

[ That announcement is somewhat jarring in the daze of everything that just happened, and Anthy just blinks for a moment before her gaze turns back toward the dead bodies on the floor. ]

Oh...

[ It's not like she didn't already know well how many there were, but it really does seem like a lot looking at them like this. ]

[ Kohaku's seen so many people die unceremonious deaths, never buried, maybe never even mourned... Some of those people had been comrades who shared a bit of his way with him. Some of them had been a town he'd lived in most of his life. So looking at the corpses here and now... he feels nothing at all.

Yeah, go for it. They've earned the honors.
