[retellers]

[ they look a little awkward ]

No. I'm saying. You don't have to do that.

[siblingless]

But I want to?

[Now she's just confused.]

[retellers]

[ ............. ]

Alright.

[ they give up ]

[siblingless]

[.............................. Shuffles.

Look what you've done now, Wolf. You've given her anxiety.]

... Um, is there a reason you asked?

[retellers]

... Because I don't know if any of the others told you otherwise and you feel obligated.

[ wolf just. tired ]

[siblingless]

... Ah.

[Wolf, go take a nap. Sumire shakes her head at them.]

Please, don't misunderstand. I'm not doing this out of a sense of obligation. I'm simply grateful for all you've done for us, and enjoy sharing food with people I care about.

[retellers]

...... Good to know.

[ potentially being included in people she cares about is making them uncomfortable, but that's a them problem ]

Was there something you wanted to ask?

[siblingless]

[Wolf, please.]

Oh! Um, yes, actually. Would you like to search for a place to sit down first?

[retellers]

... Sure. Let's go. [ wolf leads them to?? the closest sitting place?? you think i know our own locations. no. ]

[siblingless]

[you're so valid.

Once they're seated, Sumire will fidget for a moment before she shoots.]

Um... About the weekly rankings. They take all of the nova we've collected since our arrival into consideration. Is that right?

[retellers]

Yeah. It's total.

[siblingless]

Do you know what actions contribute to it? I imagine this Wednesday and the last are part of it, but... Are the killings considered as well?

[retellers]

Don't know about killing. Votes matter, though.

[siblingless]

[Can't believe Wolf is actually Swan in disguise, damn.]

I see... Would they only matter if we complete the bonus sections correctly? Or would you say our votes gather more nova, the more sections we fill out correctly?

[retellers]

[ they're swan on stilts ]

The latter.

[siblingless]

[Damn, Swan's tsundere act is on point.]

It's alright if you can't answer this. But, would I be wrong to assume your team has held the highest position because of how they've voted these last two weeks?

[retellers]

Could be. They work pretty hard.

[siblingless]

I can tell! First place is such an honor. You must be really proud of them.

[Said without a shred of irony. Truly, she's happy for Team Jacob.]

Another question, if you don't mind. Will the bonus sections only help us gather nova if we voted for the right culprit?

[retellers]

It's... something.

[ it sure is Something. anyway; ]

Yeah. Bonus section only works if you've got the right vote.

[siblingless]

[She nods, her eyebrows furrowing.]

Do we know what will occur if the fourth rule is broken yet?

[retellers]

Something bad.

[ helpful. ]

[siblingless]

Nothing more specific than that yet?

[Wolf is trying(?) and that's all that matters. It's fine.]

[retellers]

You can share to a couple of people outside your team. Whatever consequences are won't be too bad in that case.

[siblingless]

Then... the issue would be if we overextend ourselves. What would you say is "too many," Wolf-san?

[retellers]

Try not to go over one or two a week, I guess.
