...yeah, that's true.

[hm! hm.]

I hope it's not as... much... as last week.

[ercnerd]

The longer this goes on, the more people will hurt. It doesn't help that they don't have the information we do.

[wtfox]

Maybe we should try to put some of it into the marquee...?

[ercnerd]

It's too risky. . . . Besides, knowing the truth won't lessen the pain of loss.

[wtfox]

[she sighs]

I guess that's true. [...] I wonder if whoever wins this week's auction will bring one of them back.

[imagine if niji immediately got cucked from death.]

[ercnerd]

It's possible. When someone important to you dies, you'd do anything to get them back . . .

[wtfox]

[speaking from experience there, eh, sieghart?]

...I guess we'll just have to wait and see. [...] But if one of them is brought back, what if they're attacked again?

[ercnerd]

That's the risk of being over there. Until this is over, nobody is safe. But, if you ask me, it's better for more people to be there than here.

[wtfox]

...agreed. I wish we could be over there.

[ercnerd]

[He nods. She and he both.]

But we're definitely not staying here. Sooner or later, we'll leave this place—even if we have to force our way out.

[wtfox]

I told Crow maybe our next craft should be a battering ram as a joke, but the more I think about it, maybe I shouldn't have been joking.

[ercnerd]

Where are you going to get the materials for a battering ram?

[wtfox]

Chairs and tables. Or maybe we could take apart some of the playground equipment and repurpose it.

[ercnerd]

Sounds like a pain.

. . . I have the feeling our condition is more than just physical, but it wouldn't hurt to give your plan a try.

[wtfox]

More than just physical...? But the dorm heads have been able to visit us. Aren't we just - somewhere else on campus?

[ercnerd]

If it were that simple, we'd be able to leave with the Dorm Heads.

[wtfox]

...yeah. That's true.

Then, what - are we actually ghosts?

[ercnerd]

We could be. In my experience, the dead don't look any different from the living.

One thing's for sure, though: at the very least, our souls are ours.

[wtfox]

...of course our souls are ours. Who else would they belong to...?

[ercnerd]

Exactly. They don't belong to anyone else. That's why we're going to get out of here with our souls intact.

[wtfox]

Definitely! And if anything tries to stop that from happening, well...

[


she cracks her knuckles.]

[ercnerd]

Haha . . . You're so violent. But that's right—anything that tries to stop us will be in for a thrashing.

[wtfox]

Well, that's what this place gets for kidnapping us and throwing us into some kind of horror movie!

[a little violence is warranted!!]

[ercnerd]

I still wonder how it managed to grab so many of us from different dimensions at once.

[wtfox]

Magic of some kind, I guess, but I'd like to know how it works too.
