I hope so. It's bad enough that we have to wake up to those dreams on Friday.

[foodbin]

...Yeah, it is.

[But that makes her wonder.]

Were you close with either of them?

[whitewalls]

Not really. I've spoken to Kazuaki a few times, but Fujino seemed to keep to herself.

[foodbin]

[That's good isn't the right thing to say, but it's at least a relief to know she didn't lose anyone she cared deeply for.]

...They seemed like good people, though, didn't they?

[whitewalls]

Yeah. [ ... ] They all did.

I hadn't spoken to Tsurumaru before he died, but everyone said he was nice. And Mary was sweet. Junna and Nana and Tokidoki... they were all good people.

[foodbin]

...This is starting to weigh on you a lot, huh?

[It's gentle, an invitation to expand on it if she chooses.]

[whitewalls]

It's just disheartening... you could really talk to someone on Thursday, and then wake up to find out they're gone.

[ even your own partner, but she won't say that out loud ]

[foodbin]

...Right.

[After a few moments:]

Hey, you want to know a secret?

[whitewalls]

[ she tilts her head. ]

What is it?

[foodbin]

When I got here... Sol and Lune said there were a lot of things the universe could do if all of us did well, including bringing back someone who had died. I don't see a reason why that wouldn't apply to the people who have died here, too.

[She pauses.]

I know it doesn't make it much better, but... We'll see them again if we do our best.

[whitewalls]

... I hope so.

[ she shakes her head. ]

No, let's... proceed as if it's definitely true. It means we have more reason to not fail here.

[foodbin]

We wouldn't have done that anyways. You know that, right?

[To her credit, her voice sounds much more optimistic than she feels.]

[whitewalls]

[ ... still, emma sounding optimistic is nice. ]

Mm. Right!

[foodbin]

[Thumbs up!!]

We got this.
