week 3, post-execution; Stephanie

[ Stephanie pls stop hurting yourself-- but you know what, Cardia's just going to knock on her door when she's calmed down enough and hopefully this poor soul's had a decent chance to rest. ]

Stephanie... are you awake?

What?

[ she knows she heard her correctly, but steph has to make sure. ]

If you don't want to vote to condemn someone, and you can't vote for yourself, vote for me. I'm going to be doing everything in my power not to kill anyone, and I'm not going to be offended by it.

That shouldn't compromise your morals, right?

[ there are a few things she can point out for that. what if there's another case where they can't find the killer, and people decide to vote for people who seem innocent just because they doubt no one else will vote for them. what if cardia does actually kill someone. ]

... we'll see. Thank you for the offer though.

[ look, there's no real way to win here, and if Cardia dies because people think no one else would vote for her, it sure would be hilarious-- I mean. ]

I just... understand not wanting to go against what you believe in. That's why I'm so afraid of this game.

There are a lot of things that terrifying about it.

... you're having a hard time.

I don't want to kill anyone, Stephanie.

... But I don't know if I can refuse it. I don't know what they can threaten us with.

...

I really hope that you don't have to find out.

...

You don't know, do you?

... know what?

How they get us to kill.

Rather, I hope neither of us have to learn.

[ she shakes her head. ]

I know you get a wish from what they [ the blotters ] told us. But... as for how they'd punish you if you don't want the wish? No clue.
