... Well, it ties into yours. It's something I learned. [ ... ] We have until the Friday after this one to secure our second kill. After that, the removed will be stuck where they are.
So not executions. Or, uh, being killed with a sword in the middle of trial.
[ripikachu]
. . . So. We need to kill again. But if we want to bring everyone back, we have to coordinate. We can’t—- It’d be fucking shit to leave people behind because we didn’t get it right.
Right. [ she nods, and. pauses ] I can't promise I'll sense anyone else. Alyssa was the first time in four weeks. So if we have to do this... take this week to coordinate. Between you, Hua Cheng and Sora, you should know a lot of people in the living. Yoshizawa might be able to tell you how many people from which teams have been removed right now, and that should give us an idea who's more in trouble.
We've had a lot of deaths, so... maybe some teams are already done.
[ she shakes her head ]
Taako, we've done all this before. I didn't think the loop thing was true, and I still don't understand how or why it happened... but the last time, we chose to try again, to make sure everyone got out. I think-- I'll be fine if you share the time limit, so long as you don't share how you know.
Did I say Groundhog Day or did I say Groundhog Day! Seriously. Anyway, trust me— I’ve done this one before. Everything here is a fuckin’ sequel. It’ll be fine.
Can I tell people about the two murders per team? I think people are starting to hear that one.
Sure. I heard it from someone else anyway. Kind of glad it was real.
[ sometimes your decisions are closing your eyes and hoping for the best because you have no convenient npc memories to fall back on until after you've decided to try it out ]
No, it's because we're supposed to. I've taken them off for a few people, but they asked first. [ she tilts her head ] I don't know. It's like... It's weird to be that personal with someone if they don't care? Even though it's just my face.
I have no idea who you are! I mean. Obviously you’re Swan, and I know you. But still, sometimes you sorta expect to know, in your heart or something? Like a callback.
To be fair, I guess it means your friends are just like. Chilling somewhere. And you can’t forget them and then everyone just yells at you for a week, but you cannot mentally comprehend what they are yelling, and it’s very upsetting?

[Wait.]
What about the other bad news, though?

Well. That’s actually longer than most of my deadlines, so. That’s fine, I guess.
[ . . .]
Um, I guess here’s my question. Does every team need to meet that requirement? Are there ones that haven’t?

I’m just starting to think, uh, if we’ve only got two weeks, well. That’s a lot of murder left.

We'll handle it. [ there's a pause ] Would you... Would you mind if I took my mask off? I don't want to make it weird.

Oh. Yeah? Honestly I figured you guys kept them on at this point because you liked them.

Sorry. Even if you didn't remember, I didn't want you to think you were alone, but that didn't work at all.
no subject
It’s—- You tried. I’m just very mean and also sensitive, which is a bad combination.
[At least he knows it.]
no subject
You're not that mean.

Should I be meaner . . . Should I say something about your eyebrows . . . ?

[It’s one of those insults that grows over time.]
So, you got any idea which team might have taken out Hikaru?
