Week 5 - After The Massacre

[dolleyed]

[ 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. ]

[ And just like that, it's easy to follow her lead again. The rift from the trial hasn't closed yet and Kohaku certainly won't be looking to her first for important decisions now... but this? Yeah, he'll help out. He likes keeping busy. It wards off the claustrophobic feeling that the Resort is causing. ]

We can keep the ashes in urns - or whatever we can find that passes for urns.

[ It's a pointless waste of space, but then again, there's nothing they need that space for and it's a nice gesture.

Kohaku doesn't like people dying unceremoniously, their bodies forgotten. He's used to it, but that's a different thing. "Why do some people get funeral rites and others don't?" is something he has asked himself when he was younger. A bit of that bitterness on class divide still exists in him.

But this? It isn't about class. It's about people who sacrificed themselves so they could go on. Kohaku might not have thought this smart, but there is no reason to dishonor them either, when they have room for the alternative. ]
