Fair enough. Though if it was that... beast that killed him, I wonder why it chose him and not me.
[ not in the sense that she feels guilty for surviving, because she doesn't, and she doesn't sound it. but was it just the beast's preference? was it restricted in some way? it's all quite strange. ]
It must've been related to that video. [ but grace offers vira a wry smile ] It was never going to be, but I didn't think it'd be something as bad as this.
[ it was hard to imagine that things would get as bad as a broken down skeleton, yeah. ]
Well, I wouldn't have been surprised if someone here killed another person. [ just casually throwing that out there ] But the possibly magical monster stalking us is certainly a surprise.
Right. I thought it'd be someone from Wrath going overboard, not... whatever happened last night. Everything failing, the lack of any sign of a struggle... That's not normal.
Yes, at least mine is directly helpful. [ even if it's not very nice. despair be like that. ] Still, I wasn't planning on telling many people what I have. And I doubt others will be too open to sharing, either.
[ so she doesn't expect things to get better from hereon out. ]
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. [ she doubts vira was really worried, but it doesn't hurt to say it out loud ] But you're right. People were already going to hide things, but they're going to double down now that someone's died. Things are about to get a whole lot worse from now on.

[ she doesn't look that fazed, just a little surprised. grace what kind of life did you have on that train. ]

Only about as dark as him being killed at all.

I don't know. Why only him at all, even? We were all passed out.
no subject
Not to mention how strange it is that we could all be knocked out so easily.
[ she sighs into her coffee. ]
I suppose it couldn't be as easy as 'indulge.'

[ what is an optimism ]

Yuel told me she saw blood in the elevator, so perhaps there is more out there to find... but I can't see it myself.
[ just to add to the strangeness of the situation. ]

This place is messing with our heads. I don't like it.

[ they'd experienced that firsthand. ]
Did you receive some sort of... 'congwatulations' message as well? [ the timing of which was. not appropriate considering that tamaki is dead. ]

I didn't get anything that bad. Why? What did you get?

The ability to make someone obsessed with someone or something they've lost. As well as a title. What about you?

I wouldn't tell anyone yours either.
[ it's nice to be able to compare notes. ]
I think you're right, though. I expect people will start getting ideas—even if I do suspect there's some more at play here.
[ so they have to worry about each other, and this mystery furry. what a pain. ]

It does make one wonder if the real purpose is to take each other down.
