Maybe not... it's hard to say, but I think we can say that about almost anything here. We don't know much.

[specialdog]

It's been two weeks... Enough to establish the pattern. [ she sighs. ] We should know more by now.

[whitewalls]

I think the jump from one victim and killer to multiple really threw us off too... it doesn't seem like anyone expected that.

[ and she doesn't want to think of if there might be more in the future ]

[specialdog]

If you think about how fast the corruption is spreading, it feels kinda hopeless, you know?

There was one person last week. This week we had to purify the darkness in that weird escape room, and there were two corrupted. At this rate, we're all gonna be dead in like two weeks.

[whitewalls]

It'll be easier if we had an idea of how long it make take to save the core. Do we just have to keep purifying indefinitely?

[ it's like a tv show where there's a villain of the week

she can't make the comparison icly she doesn't watch tv ]

[specialdog]

[ It was really hard to not just tag "it's like a tv show where there's a villain of the week" but I'm above that. Barely. ]

And besides that, I still don't really even get what that's supposed to do. Purifying the core or whatever.

[whitewalls]

... that's been pretty vague. I'm not sure if Lune or Sol know either, which doesn't help us...

[specialdog]

It's so unfair to make us do their dirty work when they don't even know why...

What do you think of the two of them?

[whitewalls]

I like them. I think that... if you really watch them, you can tell they're really frustrated that they can't do more.

... it's probably not a fun position for them to be in. It kind of feels like the universe, or whoever is actually in charge, only brought them here so we could yell at those two instead of it.

[specialdog]

The real god of this world is a coward, huh?

[ That seems to amuse her quite a bit... ]

I like Lune-san, too. I can tell they're trying their best. But I haven't really talked to Sol-san.

[whitewalls]

I think you'd like Sol. They're younger than Lune is, so they're not really as experienced... but they're very determined and nice. I think they want to make friends.

[specialdog]

I'll be sure to talk to them sometime.

[ Although none of that struck Akane as particularly entertaining... Oh well. On a totally different note: ]

Say, Namine. We've all had a rough week, right? Is there anything I could do that would liven your spirits or make you feel energized?

[whitewalls]

Energized?

[ ..........

....... what does she do to feel energized....... ]

What do you like to do?

[specialdog]

[ Is Namine ever energized........ ]

Me?

Well, usually I'd like watching tv. Or carving figurines... Or eating a big, satisfying meal. That sort of thing, I guess?

[whitewalls]

Well, we can't really watch anything here, but...

[ hm ]

Carve figurines?

[specialdog]

Mm, not yet...

[ Akane pulls her boxcutter from her hoodie pocket! :) Dooon't worryyyy it's all retracted and safe! ]

I've been looking for wood or clay or something good to use.

[whitewalls]

Maybe Lune or Sol can give you some?

[ since they seem to be able to just

summon things. ]

[specialdog]

That's a good ideeeaaa, buuuut... That's not what we're talking about right now!

[whitewalls]

... I'm not really sure.

Before I came here, I was working on an important project, so I didn't really do much for fun.

[specialdog]

What sort of project? Tell me, tell me! ♪

[whitewalls]

[ ... hm. ]

I made a really big mess, so it was my job to fix it. And it took... about a year to do it.

[specialdog]

Woah, that's a long time to be fixing one thing!

[whitewalls]

It was a pretty complex procedure.

And some complications came up that made it take longer than it should have.

[specialdog]

Hmm... But I still don't really get what you do.

[whitewalls]

[ ...... she sighs. ]

Back home, I can manipulate memories. What I was working on was trying to restore someone's memories.
