The same one you grew up in?

[this is just so sad.]

They're still out there, supposedly.

[noirges]

[ shakes his head ]

A different one... I only met Adolphe later in my life, though I would've wished for more time even alive too.

[ there's so many orphanages in this island because people die so fucking often ]

... they are. Though I think my response to that will make people sad too... so I'm trying to be careful.

[sacredpath]

[oh i guess that makes a lot of sense. you think they'd come up with a better system.]

I think I can guess what it might be.

[if he wants to be with him (platonic) (no homo) then it's not like that isn't possible.]

[noirges]

[ yeah so heterosexual

but yves will squeeze her hand once ]

... I won't do anything reckless. If his soul's lost, we don't know I'd go to the same place. I'm not looking to die for no reason.

[ but she already knows - that if there's a reason, he's also not afraid to ]

... but it's not because I don't care what anyone here thinks. I don't want to upset any of you, either. So... it's hard for me to know what to do, even if I know I don't need to decide right now.

[sacredpath]

[a beautiful friendship]

That's what I'd say. There's no reason to decide now. Something unjust happened to him, and at the least, maybe we ought to see this through and find out why and make sure wherever they are, they're safe.

[but if at the end he doesn't want to go back, that's his business.]

[noirges]

[ nods... ]

... yeah. I think... the killer probably isn't in their right mind. Either of them, if there's two.

[ he's not sure how any of this is working ]

[sacredpath]

Probably.

[not going to mention the apples.]

The bigger question is why any of this is happening to us.

[noirges]

[ the apples are just sooo tempting you lose your mind ]

The angels didn't know when I asked last week... but we'll check in with them tomorrow again, I guess.

[ . . . ]

They were so confident it wouldn't happen again.

[sacredpath]

They were. And that none of us would be tempted by the apples, either.

They seem sincerely in the dark to the extent I can tell, but it hasn't been much help.

[noirges]

[ . . . ]

I think Gamaliel said... we can see if anyone was behaving differently earlier, if there were maybe signs someone could be affected. What Jing Yuan said on Tuesday was different from what he said on Saturday. So maybe... Wednesday or Thursday?

But that requires us to know each other really well...

[sacredpath]

Everyone here acts weird all the time.

[how are they supposed to notice.]

Jiaoqiu suggested it might have to do with specific sins. Such as Jing Yuan acting particularly lazy.

[noirges]

[ yeah he can't disagree with that. this place is a circus and he loves every clown ]

... maybe. We'll have to see what the physical evidence says tomorrow, and then see if we can find patterns once we find people.

[ and hopefully it won't be riding on the prayer of a ribbon in the last 10 minutes ]

[sacredpath]

[all ribbon clues every trial!]

I'll do what I can to help.

[noirges]

[ he smiles, and it has just a little bit more light to it. he squeezes her hand again, gently ]

... thank you. I'll be better by tomorrow.

[sacredpath]

I won't hold you to that, you know.

[squeezes back.]
