[uruha grips his wrist, where red streaks run across it and his hands, idly flicking it like he can't stay still. other than the restlessness, though, he also seems calm enough.]

.... Yeah. I'm not surprised, but I still wish it didn't happen.

[florescences]

[ red streaks? she's looking. ]

Yeah, me too. We can both wish for that. What happened, Yoji?

[kumeyuri]

[it's the weekly effect, so it's just some kind of red that's nothing in particular.]

What?

[florescences]

[ i always forget the weekly effect after wednesday until someone mentions it again tears up... elysia's skin is either as reflective as a crystal or fuzzy like static, here and there. ]

Do the red streaks mean anything to you?

[kumeyuri]

... Not really.

[though there's a complicated look in his eyes that suggests this isn't wholly truthful.]

[florescences]

... I won't push today.

[ since there's two people dead, but she'll remember this even if i, ara, might not. ]

Do you think it's both because of apples?

[kumeyuri]

Maybe. I can't think of anything else...

[florescences]

Everyone's I talked to thinks the same... I just hope tomorrow won't be too difficult. I know it will be very difficult, but not to the point where...

[ they spiral and despair about finding out anything. ]

[kumeyuri]

... We'll just have to do what we can. It's not as though we have any other choice.

[florescences]

[ what is everyone's.... everyone* ]

For us, I suppose that's true. We'll walk forward into whatever truth we may find tomorrow.

[ for better or for worse!! for whoever betrayed us... ]

[kumeyuri]

[WHO BETRAYED US!!!!]

Yeah. [...] Hey, Elysia. Did you find anything unusual in the market this week?

[florescences]

[ IT COULD BE YOU!!! if i believe it's anyone and everyone, i won't be hurt. ]

The market? No.... or at least nothing that didn't suit the atmosphere. Why?

[kumeyuri]

[...]

Don't spread it around, since I don't want to put a target on Marcoh's back... but he and I came across something earlier this week. All we know is that it'll give us a clue when trying to solve a mystery? Didn't make a ton of sense to us then, but... this counts as a mystery, right?

[when you get a trial hint item but (mod text voice) Why would we have another trial. That's ridiculous.]

[florescences]

You have my word.

[ elysia knows how to keep a secret, and i'm gone for most of tomorrow. there is a little surprise that filters through. ]

It does. For being told there wouldn't be a repeat, that's convenient. [ unusual is right. ] You two were quite fortunate. I'm sure it'll be a boon at the right time.

[ smashcut to in defense of the bell ]

Thank you for shwaring this with me, Yoji. Even if we both wish we didn't have to solve a mystery right now.

[kumeyuri]

[IN DEFENCE OF THE BELL]

I told you because in case we end up needing to use it but Marcoh and I forget in the moment, just nudge me. [...] But yeah, I wish we didn't.

[florescences]

Oh, I can do that. I like using curious little items...

[ her megaphone isn't exactly that, but it's close enough to an example. ]

I have faith.

[kumeyuri]

... Hopefully that faith will come through.

[florescences]

I do, too.

And even if we fail... that will be another road we must cross.

[kumeyuri]

[he lets out a breath.]

Nothing to do but keep moving forward, one way or another.
