[ he's watching the blimps a while after execution is over, expression mildly sour, which probably means he's feeling Very Sour. ]

Wish we could get rid of these.

[camena]

Yeah, they're uh. A little unsettling now, huh?

[squirt]

[ knowing that they can be used to murder you really hard? yeah ]

It's hard to think that it happened right around here. [ ... ] Did you go today? [ to execution ]

[camena]

I did. It's better to know what happens.

What about you? [ she was watching the show and dissociating so she's not sure who all else was there. ]

[squirt]

I didn't. [ he feels kind of bad about it now though, knowing she did. ] It was gross to me that anyone would want witnesses for it.

[ not the reapers per se, but whoever designed the game itself ]

[camena]

Did someone tell you how it works? That's the only part that you - that really matters.

[ the rest of it is... yeah, it's gross that they made it a spectacle. but also she chose to watch that spectacle, so. what does that mean. ]

[squirt]

[ he knows no one went to go out of a sense of morbid glee—well, okay, probably no one. but there's some people who had to go out of a sense of responsibility, and maybe guilt, and maybe to understand the game. he just wasn't—strong? strong enough for that.

so it's not great either way. ]

...Not really. You think there's stuff I need to know?

[camena]

[ alex doesn't judge anyone for not going. she doesn't think it was inherently kind to watch, or necessarily smarter. but it would have been weird to know it was going to happen and then the next day yuyu is just gone. ]

Hopefully not? Like, hopefully it doesn't happen again...

[ well, she won't just unload details on him unless he asks. ]

[squirt]

[ it's nice of her to hold back, but. ]

...I'd be surprised if it didn't happen again.

[ he hates it a lot, and thinks there's reasons not to kill, but also—people will probably try. ]

[camena]

It doesn't have to. People could just choose better.

[ she's stubborn, but too bad. this is a murdergame. after a second of thinking about it: ]

Lambda had to do it. And there were all kinds of weapons but they were all just... props. So...

[ he doesn't need to know about the kissing. ]

[squirt]

[ he really doesn't need to know about the kissing. maybe all the photos will be set aflame. ]

Lambda? [ they weren't even on the same team ] ...So she had to do it with her bare hands.

[ he gets distracted thinking about how messed up and hard that would be? jesus ]

It's worse because you're right. It doesn't have to end up this way.

[camena]

[ who knows what everyone has done with their photos... ]

Mm. [ yeah setting aside the kissing it was Not A Fun Watch. even the kissing wasn't really fun either. bad! ]

But it sounds like points will be hard to get. I don't know how everyone else is going to do things.
