Not as close as I should've been...
[ and he feels really guilty about that now. ]
...I was always just kind of scared of him. And I... didn't really trust most of the people in that group.
[ FOR AT LEAST PARTIALLY GOOD REASON, APPARENTLY, but ]
He wasn't that bad when you guys were in that place with him though, I guess?

That's fair, I think, uh. A lot of people don't trust the people in that group, unfortunately. [...] Not that, uh, that's unreasonable.
[she sits down on the bed.] He's scary, but he's soft on the inside. He took care of me and Shinobu both while we were in there.

[ wait i just realized i've never seen her room, what does it look like ]
Y-yeah... I guess he kind of carried you both back himself, huh...
[ and with dimitri... hadn't he tried to curse him with happiness or something like that? ...maybe he really isn't all that bad. ]

[oh my god have you not WELL I'M SORRY IN ADVANCE
Don't get me wrong, I was walking out myself, and he picked me up because I wasn't moving fast enough. [she says, amused.] But... yeah. He - he wasn't so bad. I'm sorry he's gone.
The colors that accent this room are reds, golds, oranges and yellows - the walls are a deep red, the curtains a shimmery fade of orange and gold, and the floor is a dark wood. The most prominent feature is the giant bed, big enough for like, at LEAST four people. It’s a four-post bed frame with heavy red velvet curtains that can be pulled to enclose around the bed. There are fairy lights pulled across the curtains like this. There’s a big plush red carpet under the bed so that when you roll out of it, you immediately step on something soft. Next to the bed is a brick fireplace without a poker or anything. Does it work? Does it even go anywhere? I don’t know, but it is very aesthetic.anyway.]
On the far wall are a bunch of bookcases, filled with fake book facades. There’s also a lot of empty potion bottles and pretty gemstones and various magical aesthetic objects like bird skulls and things like, glued to the shelves just for decoration. Next to these bookshelves is a window with a nook, where a comfy cushion and pillow makes it easy to curl up and read. This window shows something like a slideshow of different worlds. It changes every 30 minutes or so.
The walls are decorated with paintings of various watercolor flowers, all in the same color scheme. One of the paintings is a picture of Fantasy Guy Fieri (he has elf ears) promoting a huge roast turkey leg during the production of an episode of D*ners, C*rt-Ins, and D*ves. There are also cheap but very bright glow in the dark star stickers all over the ceiling.
The desk has a painting that looks like it is very well cared for sitting above it on the wall in a frame. The desk itself is wood that is made of the same material as the flooring, matching in color and the general Victorian style, though it does have really gaudy flame decals painted across the top.
Also, of course she has a walk-in closet. It’s painted in similar colors to the rest of the room with a big table in the middle for shoes and jewelry. The walls in here have that same terrible flame decal randomly splashed across it.

[ fuck me he loves this room
and he will not tell her that his dad is also super into flame decals. ]
Ah... I'm... sorry too, then.
What happened there anyway?

[lup like i will fight him for flame decal superiority
anyway]
... It, uh. [she hesitates, and then:] A lot. The short of it is that we went through three different rings, and... and had to choose between killing someone from here, or our hostages.
[she absently reaches up to rub at her chest - the gunshot wound there is closed up, but. it's there.]

It wasn't really fun, for sure. [she says, quietly.]
I don't... I don't know if it was really all that relevant. It was just a lot of suffering, and a lot of pain. But all of us chose to kill our hostages, in the end. [her voice is a little distant.] We got that tape, and... oh, the chalkboard at the very end. It said, um. Your hurting will be mended, when they return to end it.
I don't know what it means or if it means anything.

[ oh... he's actually pretty surprised that none of them chose to save their hostages, and it probably shows on his face. ]
...Having to choose something like that sucks, huh...
[ he closes his eyes for a few seconds after listening to the narrative of what the chalkboard said. ]
I-is it talking about... the dead coming back, you think...? I mean, you can't recall it "returning" when we've never been on that side...

[she has her eyes closed, but:]
I hope that's what it is. Seems pretty likely, right? And I know they're trying over there.

Yeah... I hope so too.
[ hm. ]
It's weird that you'd find it in that place, though... I mean, there weren't usually encouraging messages in those things, were there?
[ what if it means their hostages are supposed to come back and kill them or something!! ]
But I guess if the staff have been stopping us from dying there, then maybe they could make other changes too...

[she opens her door! and gives him a little smile.]
... Hey, boo. You holding up okay? [she seems a little less stressed out, at least.]
... Hey, boo. You holding up okay? [she seems a little less stressed out, at least.]
No, I don't think you did. [she says, leaning against the door frame.] You didn't ruin it for everybody if that's what you're gearing up to think. You just gotta be a little careful, and I know you will next time.
I don't think any of us know, just yet. [she says, thoughtfully.]
... But keep an eye out. Don't rush to show information unless you know eyes are going to be elsewhere, and we'll figure it out.

We had better hope so.
But I think we probably can't rely on it too hard. They're going to catch on eventually. We might have to do the note thing - I don't know if they can see those.

Do you think the way they see all this stuff is like... the way it looks to us when we watch those movies? ...Uh, with sound and probably color, I mean, but. Where they're watching everything as one scene and not monitoring each individual thing up close?
... Maybe. I don't know how it works.
At the station, we had to plug into the UWU to see what was going on, and we saw stuff from it's point of view. Sometimes I heard people talking, but I could never tell if that was just because uh, I was hopped up on UWU juice or it was just gurgling what it heard in the walls.

[maybe unsurprisingly, she's in the library!
she's sitting on a table, staring at the bookshelves. she doesn't really notice him come in.]

Oh - hey. [...] Crazy day, huh.
