[ grace and medb are in the void of wherever we decide when it becomes convenient, until then, grace is just stopping her to ask: ]
Have you seen any sign of the murder anywhere?
[ because what the fuck ]

[ Convenience is our indulgence.
There are what seems to be cherry blossoms clinging to Medb. ]

Ugh, seriously? Great. They're messing with our head, too. [ grace pauses and. attempt to grab a singular cherry blossom from medb? ] Uh?
[ Grace can grab it! Should feel just like a cherry blossom. ]
I woke up like that.
[ She shrugs like it's supposed to be an everyday thing even though it's obviously not. ]
But if we're being messed with, we need to know how. Did you see anything?

Weird.
[ weird. but she'll let it go for More Important business, which is: ]
No. Nothing different from the usual messes since this morning, and I've looked nearly everywhere.

Huh. I wonder why certain people can see things and others can't.
[ If she went everywhere. ]
I wonder what they meant about tomorrow.

More messing with our heads?
[ hateful. speaking of hate: ]
Maybe they'll try and invent a really good excuse why he died.

I don't think they'll try.
[ She gestures to the base as a whole. ]
Some people here don't have a lot of inhibitions.

... Fair enough. Well, hopefully they're going to tell us something about it, even if it's not true.
[ She laughs. ]
You think they'll all lie to us. No one is trusting these days.
[ Someone did just die, Medb. ]
You think they'll all lie to us. No one is trusting these days.
[ Someone did just die, Medb. ]
What, you think they'll tell us the full story outright?
[ She laughs again. ]
It would be nice if it could be that easy.
It would be nice if it could be that easy.
Right. So, basically, they'll either lie or just ignore our questions.
So are you going to stop going to them for answers?
[ She seems to ponder the question for a moment. ]
Not satisfying ones, but enough of ones.

Trust only goes so far, hm?
[ She nods because it's not like she disagrees? They've only known each other for a week. Barely that. ]

If things reek, something is causing it.
Even if the source is apparently not visible to most people here.
If we "hold on" until tomorrow, maybe we can see it. Or at least some of it. I'll trust that much.
Sure would be nice if we could time travel and skip all this boring stuff, huh?
At least get to the part with the actual answers, anyway.
Then, we could get what we want and leave this place behind.
