WEEK TWO - MINGLE

SURVIVORS: 18

Has it really been only a week since you found yourself in this place? But just like that, the days have come and gone, and five of your number have been lost. The space seems a little larger, less claustrophobic. By mid-afternoon on Sunday, after the execution, guests will also realise that the hotel is once again pristine thanks to the work of the ever-present faceless and nameless staff members, and the elevators are all in working order again.

Something is peculiar about your rooms, though -- something you may notice after you come back from the execution. Your desks now have a different Polaroid camera on them. This time, each resident gets one with a total of 10 film each. Film for these cameras in particular can be refilled in the gift shop. For Kurama in particular, the camera is larger and built so that he's able to (somewhat) see through the lenses and hit a button with his nose to take the photo. What differentiates these cameras from the ones you received last week is for you to find out.

At precisely 8AM on Monday morning, the fog recedes slightly, allowing just the slightest hint of sunlight to peek through. There is a gentle sea breeze, comfortable weather in every feasible way.

Rise and shine, everyone, it's time to make the day yours, just like the rest of the week. Better enjoy it while it lasts.

[ Yuki looks at her for a long moment. ]

I understand. You can’t help it if you care about them. Feelings are like that.

[ There are family members he still loves despite how they treated him in the past. There is a part of him that still loves Akito too. ]

[attritional]

Despite... everything, I suppose, they raised me, and I think they did a good job. I have good traits and bad traits, but I think the good outweighs the bad. Likewise, it's much easier to think of it that way regarding my parents. Though, you're correct. Feelings are complicated.

[unprincelike]

I get it.

[ He thinks it over. The good outweighing the bad, huh? ]

With my mother, it’s the opposite. The bad has always outweighed the good, even if she was nice to me when I was very young. Even now, I’m still a pawn.

[ He lets out a small sigh. ]

My brother, Ayame, I think is similar to how you feel about your parents. He abandoned me when I needed him too, but he’s trying to make up for it. [ … ] Even if he’s annoying.

[attritional]

He realized what he did was wrong, and is trying to amend.

[ ... ]

I think... that's the greatest form of acceptance that the wrongdoer can do.

[unprincelike]

It is.

[ He smiles a little. ]

The way he looked at me as he smacked my hand away and turned around haunted me for a long time. But now… he actually tries to look out for me, especially when it comes to our mom.

I might never call him “big brother” or anything like that, but… I can move on from what happened before.

[attritional]

Yes... you can.

[ It makes Iria want to give him another hug, so she does, and it's tight too. ]

I'm glad you can start to move on. It's not very easy to do that in the first place, so that's why... I think you're strong too, Yuki.

[unprincelike]

[ He hugs her back, still smiling. ]

…I’ve never thought of myself as strong, but hearing it from someone else like this? I think I can start to believe it.

[ Especially from someone like Iria, who he thinks possesses a lot of strength. ]

[attritional]

That's good, because I... want you to believe...

[ Iria's getting sleepy, which means curfew is hitting. She ends up falling asleep while hugging him. gj ]

[unprincelike]

[ He’s starting to feel the sleepiness hit him too, but before it does, he just barely manages to get Iria onto her bed.

Then he crashes facedown on the floor next to it. ]
