[OKAY SO]

[WE'RE ALL HERE NOW]

[IN KAITO'S ROOM, NUMBER 112]

...I asked Tsurugi-san to get a weapon that I could use to take down someone as strong as Nagasone-san and he got me...

[She hesitates.]

I believe it's called a chainsaw...?

[thawedheart]

...he asked the Unclean for one.

[she nearly dropped it on his head]

The Prophets have access to more resources than we do. It's... a little unfair, I think. [But they're taking advantage of it even if they don't like it, so...]

[thawedheart]

...I'm not, but that's not what's important. What's important is that we see everyone safely home.

[That's honestly the only thing that's been getting her through this, ever since they talked to Girge.]

[thawedheart]

[Her expression crumples, but she nods.]

If they hate me for betraying them, I can bear that. I can't bear it if they're left here. They deserve to go home... to live out the lives they should have had.

[thawedheart]

...Tsurugi-san showed me how to operate it, yesterday.

[So that's. Kind of a yes.]

I know it will... be very, very unpleasant.

[thawedheart]

...I know. It would be a guaranteed execution.

[So would leaving behind any of her hair, at the rate trials have been going. She's going to have to be careful.]

And that's not acceptable. I'm going to make it to the very end, no matter what. I won't let the final burden rest on someone else's shoulders.

[KAITO. JAY.]

[thawedheart]

...it will take me as far as it needs to. I already know what I'm going to do once I make it to the end. [She lets out a breath, but she definitely looks more determined than she did before. The road they're all walking is difficult, but the destination will be worth it.

She believes that.]

I might falter, but I won't give up.

[thawedheart]

[just as quickly:]

That isn't your decision to make, Andersen-san.

[thawedheart]

That's inconsequential. If they're willing to offer me the deal, I'll take it. They'll have an eternity to regret it if they don't like what I end up doing once I've accepted it.

[thawedheart]

I'll have an eternity to figure it out.

[thawedheart]

Yes. ...oh, speaking of that...

[Hmm.]

I'm sure we won't be the only people killing this week... if the past weeks are any indication. If you're hoping to catch someone who isn't us, you may want to avoid listening for anything on the second floor.

I fear the noise might... drown it out.

[thawedheart]

...so that your contacts don't think you were working with us.

[She's worried. This is a dangerous enough game for them; Andersen's already burned some bridges (unless that was all for show). If he has nothing to show for his efforts this week...]

If we aren't the only people killing, Andersen-san... wouldn't you want to know that?

[disinterested]

[WE DON'T

ACTUALLY

CALL HER MOTHER!!]
