the queen On Wednesday, 9am, Sora will receive a message on his PHS. Hey! Please come meet me at the castle right away!! Upon receiving this message, Sora will notice that the castle appears closer than usual. Should he head towards it, he will finally be able to reach its entrance. Inside is a large hall with various doors, along with a staircase, but Sora will be able to access only a single door. Once he steps inside, he will find his Leader waiting for him. After their meeting is over and he leaves the castle, he will no longer be able to reach the castle again. ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ As the Queen: Every Wednesday, the Queen will be given a choice between three items to help them during the competition.

...are you talking about Won? Or was there another murder that was self-defense that I don't know about? What I know is we don't know who killed Cater, Raven, or Sumire. [a pause.] But I'm glad it's not our thing either. I don't think I'd be good at it.

[because he wants to save as many people as possible.]

[retellers]

Soo-Won's the only one I know. I thought we were counting it?

[ there are too many murders. she nudges him lightly ]

Picking and choosing who you could save... I don't think I could help you with that, either.

[reconnective]

Nope. Won still doesn't know I know either. [but he gives her a faint grin at the nudge.]

We'd both suck at it, I think. But I wish I knew who it was. I hope they're okay.

[retellers]

I... think he knows I know? [ she. has to think about it and shrugs. listen it has never come up ]

I hope so, too. They must be glad they've managed to save someone.

[reconnective]

It doesn't matter as much as finding the others, but...I don't know.

[...] That's actually what I need to tell you. Lup got confirmation from Wolf. This is repeated history. We've done this before, but we just...failed, last time. Because we didn't catch all of the destabilized people last time.

So the splintering thing? I think it's really true.

[retellers]

How does Wolf know that?

[ indignant and. immediate. ]

[reconnective]

Uh, because Wolf's team keeps beating us in the rankings? But everything Wolf learns they tell Lup and Lup tells me and I tell you so it's kind of like we're still winning anyway.

[retellers]

They're not that much higher than us. [ POUTS!!! ] But I guess... I don't know. I don't like that everyone else gets these-- answers, and I don't.

[reconnective]

I don't know if everyone's getting them. I have no idea what Tiger might and might not know, but someone should probably tell them, too. [pouting right back.] Anyway it's kind of our fault you're not getting stuff. So...sorry.

[retellers]

No, don't apologize. [ squeezes his hand ] I'm just annoyed you guys have to learn all this stuff secondhand and I can't tell you anything useful.

[ :( ]

[reconnective]

...I wouldn't say that, Swan. And it's not like I only come to see you so you'll be useful to me or anything anyway.

[retellers]

I know. It's just... everyone else is always telling you what they've learned from their Leaders. [ she squeezes his hand again? ] And-- you feel like you can't help as much because you don't find out as much, but that's because of me.

[ swan, stop listening in on conversations ]

[reconnective]

[he's about to reassure her, but uh. hm. he has only said that to one person and it was not swan.]

Were you...listening to my conversation with Lup? [warily. oh no. DID SWAN SEE HIM CRYING? NOOOO SWAN STOP SPYING.] That's still not your fault though. No matter what.

[retellers]

I didn't mean to? But you were upset and I...

[ listened in. hm. ]

I was worried. I still am. [ hand!! squeezing!!!! ]

[reconnective]

[...he will squeeze her hand back.]

I'm okay. Don't worry about it.

[retellers]

[ ...:/ ]

I will anyway. Friends worry about each other.

[reconnective]

I know. I worry about you a lot. [he will always? turn this around on swan?] But I promise everything's fine.

[retellers]

... Would you tell me if it wasn't?

[reconnective]

...would it matter right now? Things are fine here and we'll keep going until we find an answer.

[...but...he sighs softly.] Okay. How much did you hear?

[retellers]

Of course it'd matter. You matter.

[ but at his question she shakes her head ]

Not a lot. I wasn't listening in on purpose. [ she grimaces, looking down ] I know it's not fair that I can listen in all the time and I don't want to make it so you're careful what you tell other people.

[reconnective]

It's not like I mind, it's just...I dunno. You already have a lot to worry about and we're friends. I don't want to give you more to worry about. You know?

[retellers]

You're more important to me than most of the things I worry about. [ sincerely? ] Sora, you're my best friend here. I want to be there for you the way you are for me.

[reconnective]

...[he'll just hold her hands.]

You are. All the time. [...but he knows swan probably won't just accept that.] ...but I don't know. Sometimes I'm sad and there's nothing I can do about that. And sometimes I'm mad and there's nothing I can do about that either. But I'm happy when I'm with you. And with others, too.

So don't underestimate how much you've helped me and been there for me, too.

[retellers]

[ that's fine they can hold hands while she listens and just. squeezes them, running a thumb over his knuckles etc. ]

Even if there's nothing anyone can do, you can tell me. [ forcefully. ] But I'm happy when I'm with you, too.

[reconnective]

Good. [fwendship. but...]

...Swan, I'm not going home after this. I can't. So...all I can do now is try to get the best ending possible for everybody so they can go back where they want to go. That means you too. To your friends and Brightmoon.
