...

[Her voice is small.]

Is she the one who wrote the second note today? The one about how we had better hope we're not found?

[nowyouseeit]

Maybe, but I can understand their feelings.

[he tilts his head back and exhales deeply]

I mean, I'd be pretty pissed if I were them, too.

[though, oddly enough, if Girge's caveat hadn't thrown a wrench in their plans. . . the Hunters would have been well on their way to ending this game in Week 6]

[sucks that they can't do that anymore]

[nowyouseeit]

I don't expect you to.

[a shrug]

But knowing how important it is for us to stay alive until the very end means we won't bend over for them, either.

[nowyouseeit]

Plenty of martyrs, and plenty of people who don't care enough about others to just target the Prophets and be done with it.

This way, we can be sure that one of the three survivors is someone who will take the deal.

[and also. . .]

This way, nobody else has to dirty their hands.

[disinterested]

Picky, picky.

[Says the one Prophet who vetoed targets but nobody besides Tsurugi needs to know that.]

[shoelickingshit]

[ ILL CALL YOU OUT AGAIN IF I GOTTA ]

[disinterested]

[He holds up his hands (also fuck you, Andersen).]

I'm not as invested in this as the Hunters are. Though I assume your condition doesn't apply if they die by means not our fault?

[Like, you know.

If other people get bloodthirsty.]

[disinterested]

I'll do my best, at least. It is, after all, in our best interests to execute others.

[nowyouseeit]

Your network.

[he says a bit blandly. this isn't the first time they've talked about murder, but it is the first time they've met like this to hash out a full plan, so. . .]

[he's tired]

Who's in your network, exactly? So we know who's off limits.

[nowyouseeit]

[he can't be blamed. they're talking about doing some dirty work, here. it's why he's so detached and. . . mopey. . .]

[Kaito snorts]

Thought so. Yukina ratted you guys out to us once you invited her into your li'l group.

Sorry about Kurusu.

[it's a little late to change that plan]

[nowyouseeit]

. . . I like Hajime's smile.

[it's cute, bright, full of feeling and it never fails to brighten his mood. the thought of losing that. .. ]

[. . .]

[hell, the thought of losing his roommate, the guy who so graciously allowed Kaito to move into his room after Dave and Jason died, hurts too]

[mmm. with a small sigh, he goes to retrieve the Necronomicon he received from Craftly back in week 2. with a quick flick of his wrist, he props it open]

[there are foxglove plants pressed between the pages. he's drying them out]

[ninjay]

I think Chie is actually more in my network than yours.

[ he smiles. ]

[ninjay]

You sound like Quer.

[ his smile drops slightly at that, but then jay just shrugs. ]

Chie's a good kid [ jay she's a year older than you shut up ] so don't reprimand her, please? She only wanted to make sure Dipper and I are safe.

[ they guilt tripped the shit outta her ]
