[dendroculi]

[she looks pretty down in the dumps, but as soon as she realizes someone else is there she tries to pull herself together.

she shakes her head.]

...no. It was getting late, and Hikari hadn't come back yet, so I messaged him and asked where he was. He'd gone to the McDonald's with Rin, so the rest of us went to go find them... but then we got locked inside.

[foxicide]

[one eyebrow goes up, damb why were so many of them outside last night]

So you all spent the night there? Or had Hikari and Rin already moved on?

[dendroculi]

[she has been wondering the same thing ever since hikari didn't come home tbh.]

Yes, all five of us spent the night there.

[foxicide]

[...]

The part I don't get is why we all fell asleep, except for Hikari and the killer, apparently.

[dendroculi]

...probably so no one could interfere.

[foxicide]

That's dramatic.

[he sounds a little displeased]

So it's less 'you can kill if you want to' and more 'you can kill and we'll accommodate it'?

[dendroculi]

That's what it feels like.

[she frowns.]

...I'm not willing to let whoever did this get away with it.

[foxicide]

...Because he was your teammate? Or because you cared about him?

[of course, that can be one and the same, but it feels like a distinction to rang. which might be pretty telling of how he thinks of his own team,]

[dendroculi]

[...it is pretty telling. nahida looks up at that, and her brow furrows.]

...both.

[foxicide]

[rang like i guess i'd understand if he was your teammate, but the second part?]

What happens if the murderer is someone you care about too?

[dendroculi]

[her ears droop.]

...it would hurt. A lot. But whether I'm hurt by it or not, and whether any of us are happy with it or not, the truth is still the truth.
