Yes. It was.

I don't think killing someone else will make anything better. Even if some sense of justice is served, it feels empty and useless.

Could I tell you something in confidence, Akira?

[survivaltricks]

It doesn't feel like "justice" to me. I don't doubt it was. . . "right," or "necessary," for lack of a better word.

But it wasn't "just."

And you can. I promise I won't tell anyone else.

I didn't vote for Nikki.

[. . . that doesn't surprise him. he doubts she was the only one, too. especially considering how Galo and Lio and Isaac were reacting. but there's no judgment in his next question]

Who did you vote for?

[brokethefirst]

I can't tell you that. I'm sorry.

It wasn't because they were guilty, though. Or that they deserved to die.

It was just the only option I could pick.

[survivaltricks]

That's okay. You did what you felt was right. I'm not going to hold that against you.

Some other people here might, though. So your secret is safe with me.

[brokethefirst]

Thank you.

I'm sorry to be talking to you like this. Slipping notes under a door when I know you're sitting right there. I just don't think it's wise for me to try and speak right now. I'll be okay. Give me some time to stabilize myself, okay? I just need to be alone for a little while.



This was nice, though. Really, really nice.

[survivaltricks]

It's okay. I don't mind.

I'll leave you alone, but come find me if you need anything. My door is always open.

[brokethefirst]

It's the same for me.

Well, maybe not right this second in the literal sense. But I hope you get the idea.

Please stay safe.

[survivaltricks]

I will. You too, Luna.

Have a good evening and please, try to get some rest.

[with that. . . he waits a few minutes more to see if she replies. and if she doesn't, or only sends him another note saying good bye, he pushes himself to his feet and gently presses his hand against her door. he lingers for a few seconds, before pulling away and heading back to his room]
