week 3; Friday (Rebecca)

[discardia]

[ Sorry, Rebecca. The bed is currently occupied, because Cardia is Very Tired and is already curled up under the covers in a ball.

Hey, it seems to work for her partner. ]

[Rebecca takes a set on their bed, not even bothering to ask if it's fine to sit there.]

... Are you- [No, that's a stupid thing to ask.] Do you want to talk about it?

[discardia]

... I don't know.

I think I'm just very tired.

[disclosures]

A lot happened this week.

[There are way too many dead bodies.]

I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to sleep it off.

[discardia]

I've never found a dead body before. Ion's face, and-- then everything with Jae-ha and Souji losing his partner...

[ it's so much. ]

[disclosures]

That must've been really scary.

[She'll put her hand on what she assumes is Cardia's back.]

It's way too much. There's so much happening and it's not like we can stop it either. We're just stuck... doing this. Until the Crafters decide we're finished.

[discardia]

When... do they decide that? When all of us are dead?

[ Because she doesn't like that. ]

[disclosures]

I really hope it isn't that. Whenever they have... enough ink, maybe? I don't know.

[discardia]

... Rebecca, I need your help.

[ okay. She needs to come out from under the blanket, probably, but that's not what she needs help with. ]

[disclosures]

With getting out of the covers?

[Well, okay. She'll start peeling the layers.]

[discardia]

Ah, no-- it's about my objective.

[disclosures]

Oh- yeah. Absolutely. Whatever you need.

What do you need help with?

[discardia]

I need to grant a wish.

[disclosures]

Okay.

Whose wish are you planning to grant? And how can I help?

[discardia]

[ ... what a good partner she has. ]

I'm not sure yet. I was wondering if you had a wish. Technically, I have to grant three, but it's... a process.

[disclosures]

Me?

... I'd like somebody to love me, but that's impossible. Also dating in a murder castle doesn't seem like the best idea, you know.

But I can ask around.

[discardia]

Confessing to someone wasn't the best idea either, so I think you're probably right.

... I also think you deserve better than this. But thank you, Rebecca. I don't believe they have to be big wishes.

[disclosures]

I'm... really sorry that didn't go well. You deserve to be loved. You're... a really good person.

If it's something minor... I miss the donuts from my favorite donut shop?

[discardia]

You're right, though... this isn't really the right place for those sorts of feelings.

... You miss-- donuts?

[ how does one acquire donuts from this donut shop ]

[disclosures]

Sometimes... that stuff can't be helped. Feelings aren't as easy to contain as they should be. If you want to talk about it, I probably can't help much. But I can listen.

Yeah. I used to go with my friends almost every day. They were great for taking our minds off of whatever was happening.

[discardia]

[ ... ]

Was it the taste of the donuts, or just being with your friends? Both?

[ Maybe she'll talk about it after the trial, but this week. Damn. ]

[disclosures]

[She'll be right here to talk to Cardia whenever she wants.]

Honestly, it's both. But I don't want my friends to end up here too. It's bad enough I have to go through it. At least I don't have kids to worry about.

[discardia]

Mm... I think it'd be hard to make happen, since I don't know how they taste... or how to make donuts, but that sounds like a good memory.

[disclosures]

Sanji knows how to cook. I had him make me donuts a couple of weeks ago.

Um... Getting together with some friends and talking would be nice. Natsuo would probably have really simple wishes.

[discardia]

... All right. I'll think on it.

[disclosures]

I'll ask around for you. Monday, maybe? There's not usually too much going on there.

[discardia]

Thank you. Monday is more than fine.
