...It would be really helpful if you could tell me as much as you remember about the room, if you don’t mind.

[specialdog]

If you think it'll be useful...

[ She definitely does not think it will be... But... ]

Let's see... The first room was like a waiting room...? And the lights were off, and there was an alarm to turn off. And then after we got the lights on, we got separated into different areas, and the darkness came back, so I didn't really get a great look around...

There was a fish tank?

[ ...... Helpful, Akane. ]

[foodbin]

[She gives a nod, thinking all of that over.]

What happened when the darkness came back? Did you get rid of it somehow? Did the room just go black, or did it take another form?

[specialdog]

It...

[ Hm, her body language changes a little, at that. She looks uncomfortable, and her words get more hesitant. ]

It switched out vision. We were still controlling ourselves, but looking out each other's eyes. The darkness made a wall to keep us apart, and then it had hands to reach out and cover our eyes, and the temperature got really hot, too.

[foodbin]

That sounds... awful. I'm sorry.

[But she continues after a moment, even if her voice grows more gentle.]

How did you get out?

[specialdog]

Mm.

[ Not very responsive to the sympathy, but oh well. Sorry she's kind of a dick. ]

Solving the puzzles seemed to drive out the corruption.

[foodbin]

And - I know Nana got the first aid kit, obviously. Did you get anything when you left?

[specialdog]

Mm-hmm. We got a talisman to make another partnership. That's why no one extra had to die this week.

[foodbin]

[She seems surprised, though whether it's by the item or how easy it was to get that information is unclear. After a moment, though, she smiles.]

...Thank you. We all owe you guys one.

[specialdog]

We got to be heroes!

Only, instead of anything fun, I had to reveal my powers to eeeeeveryone at the trial.

[foodbin]

But... you get why, right? We're all just trying to make sure we make the best decision we can.

[specialdog]

Sure. And now every single person here has more information that could be used to frame me, or make me an easy and predictable target.

[foodbin]

...It sucks. I get it.

[But her voice makes it clear enough she thinks it's a necessary evil.]

[specialdog]

You getting that it sucks it won't keep me safe.

[ Which she doesn't sound offended by at all? Just observational... ]

It's not, like, an embarrassing secret. It's dangerous.

[foodbin]

If you're asking me for help, I can try, but it's not like we can take it back now.

[specialdog]

Yeah, I know.

It would just be nice to feel like I have some leverage, you know? Since I gave mine away. [ But... ] But I get it if you don't have anything you can tell me.

[foodbin]

...Talk to Sol and Lune. They can give things out if you do a task for them. I don't know if you want something to protect yourself or more information, but - I think they could help, depending on what it is.

[specialdog]

Oh, that's smart. I'll keep that in mind... Thanks!

Have you gotten anything from them?

[foodbin]

[She nods, but—]

Nothing that isn't common knowledge, I don't think.
