Week 6

Sunday - Thursday

Another week of misfortune has passed by and while the end result is that there won't be any issues to anyone's existence being altered for the worst, it doesn't mean anyone's celebrating. If anything, the stressful machinations of the recent trial would require some of you to have someone champion some sort of recuperation amongst you in an attempt to relieve the strain. Whether or not its entirely successful in doing so is up to each individual. After all, there are some of you who are naturally able to endure more than others.

There's not even much time for that before the dawn of the next week is upon the castle. As it comes, everything seems quiet, which is understandable, considering that five lives were lost in the previous week.

Of course, the next best thing to focus on would be what's been newly revealed within the castle. It'll help most of you get your mind off of the current situation to an extent—distractions have a way of making that possible. Presuming, by chance, you do find yourself taking a peek at the sakura tree, you'll notice that the buds have started to finally open up. Is it time for spring at last? If so, you might find yourself wishing that the season would suddenly find itself on hold.

[There have been motives that have affected our dear Madam Lutece, but this doesn't seem to be one of them. Rosalind looks unimpressed, but not particularly frightened.]

I have to say, compared to all the threats of erasure and rendering our actions pointless, this seems a bit tame.

[buddyoldpal]

I know, right? If this shit had gone up a couplea weeks ago, it'd be one thing... If anybody's seriously willin' ta kill over somethin' this dumb, I'm gonna be real disappointed.

[originallutece]

One can hope if a murder does occur this week, it's entirely separate from this motivation.

[She's rather given up hoping a murder won't happen, frankly.]

Any secrets you want to confess?

[buddyoldpal]

It'd be a dumb fuckin' reason ta kill, that's fer sure.

[ Talk about selfish, huh!! ]

Ain't got any big secrets left. Y'all already know I died fer Majima. And that I killed a girl for 'im way back then. Even killin' fer Uncle B ain't somethin' I gotta hide.

[originallutece]

[honestly???]

No, I should think not.

[A beat. She ticks each one off on her fingers:]

Theft, murder, rape, deliberate cruelty, general unfortunate life choices . . . interpersonal secrets might work in a blackmail scenario, but it seems a bit stupid here. And given that we've seen so many people murder here . . . the bar is fairly low for shocking things people don't want revealed.

[buddyoldpal]

No shit. Only people I can see havin' a good reason is people who've been lyin' from the start ta everybody. They'd hafta be real good liars ta make it this far without slippin' up even a little.

[ Not him, in other words. ]

I mean, only person whose opinion really matters ta me is Majima since I know 'im from before, but he already knows all the bad shit I done. Doubt Hiyono-chan an' Narumi-kun got that much ta hide from each other.

[originallutece]

Beyond all the typical agonies of young love.

[That might sound sweet if it wasn't so dry and dour.]

[buddyoldpal]

No kiddin'!

[ Nishitani chuckles. ]

I doubt a couple'a kids got secrets that're worth fuckin' killin' for.
