but he seems to be doing it anyway, methodical and not stopping.]
Yeah. After the TV freaked out and all those noises - even though we hadn't felt anything weird until then. I thought they might introduce sleeping gas into the airways or something, but it hit way too fast.
Probably? That's what beings like that do. [ but she pauses, shaking her head and moving on quickly: ] Most likely they just didn't want-- or couldn't-- tell us the whole story. And who knows if a first aid kit would've helped Tamaki. We haven't even found a body, still.
[ . . . couldn't? maybe. he pauses for half a second, but keeps going]
We don't. We don't even know for sure that he's dead. [because mineo - while he's not exactly optimistic, also just isn't into believing things like that without a corpse]
If he's not, they've got him prisoner somewhere we can't access. [ she doesn't believe it, but she won't deny the possibility? ] And the only places we can't access are the ones the Avatars can.
... I'm not sure. Even back on the train, we had the advantage of being able to get some distance with any of the bigger threats. [ she shakes her head ] But there's strength in numbers, and there's strength in information. If we can learn how things work around here and what causes everything, then we can work around it, even if we can't fight it outright.
Then - supposedly the planetarium's lights glowed red, and the common room's lights glowed blue before they broke. Megara-san thinks it's 'cause Suoh-san's was on Despair's time, which is blue.
Spells bad for Wrath's people if that holds water.
But I also can't figure out why we'd get clues that come like that.
I don't know. But... the Avatars said they'd see us tomorrow. Maybe if we're all meeting up again, we can figure out what everyone knows then and try to make sense of all of this.
[ there's a beat as she hesitates before shrugging ]
Not really. We don't have real laws or rules on the train. If there's a problem with the Apex, it's my job to solve it. It's not the same thing as anything that could happen here, though.
[ no she did not explain the apex to him at any point in time it's fine ]
It's a group formed of the children on the train. The Apex sticks together and protects one another, so they can survive on the train. [ she points to the red wave on her face ] This is our symbol. It represents the conductor. He saved my life when I was younger, so now I help the kids survive on the train, just like he did for me.

Right. It was almost immediate, so it must have been something that affected our minds directly.
no subject
Sort of like whatever brought us to this place to begin with.
So I'm not convinced the avatars aren't in on it.

They wouldn't give me a first aid kit earlier either, when I asked for one. But Sloth-san also said it would be fine so...
What - everything so far's been a lie?

We don't. We don't even know for sure that he's dead. [because mineo - while he's not exactly optimistic, also just isn't into believing things like that without a corpse]
But it just - seems so stupid.
no subject
[ so it, like, kinda goes back to that. ]

and yet.
he's gonna keep going because sometimes the only way is forward.]
... not used to the playing field being this uneven. How do we even try to bridge it?
[to get closer to people who can literally bend what they're able to do or not do?]

Yeah.
[he supposes he'll agree with that]
Then - supposedly the planetarium's lights glowed red, and the common room's lights glowed blue before they broke. Megara-san thinks it's 'cause Suoh-san's was on Despair's time, which is blue.

no subject
[ so like. what's the clue there. ]
no subject
[so
he has no idea]
But all we can do is figure out if anyone else caught anything else - or can explain the weird hollow noise or the scratching.

well.]
... do you have an opinion on justice, Grace-san?
no subject
Not really. We don't have real laws or rules on the train. If there's a problem with the Apex, it's my job to solve it. It's not the same thing as anything that could happen here, though.
