week 6 | saturday, post-trial

[concasse]

[When Sanji enters Eichi's room, Eichi isn't inside yet -- but that's only because the chef is carrying him, having fetched the teen from the dungeons at Akechi's request.

To be honest, he feels a little guilty ripping the two apart when deep down, he knows the sentiment, knows that if not for Zelos shooing him off, he would have spent every hour until noon at the other's side.

... But they have to keep their heads up, don't they? The war isn't over yet.]

You gotta rest, alright? If you wake up early enough, you can get back to the dungeons.

... Zelos got votes because he led the charge and gave you an opening.

[Closing his eyes. There's no point in denying what Sanji sees as the truth.]

And most people here don't like him. He's mouthy and says what he wants -- shit people don't like to hear. Doesn't matter that he's usually right. It's easy to band together against someone that everyone views as a threat.

[And they were wrong -- dead wrong -- and the price they pay is losing a Villain who was actually pulling his weight, completing objectives. Ironic.]

Heh, but you're right. Don't know if the rest of the shitheads here will follow that example but... if there was ever a time to put aside petty grievances, it's right now.

We got a responsibility to bring them back.

They're fools. If only they took some time to speak to him, to put some more effort into it... they could have seen that it was kindness hidden by a self-hatred so intense it was cast outwards. At least, that's what I saw.

[He was a fool, too, for taking so long to notice.]

I'd like to believe that the chosen Blotters will make the correct choices. However... trial is what I'm concerned for. It's not so important to solve the deaths, is it? It only leads to hate, to pain.

We should carefully select those we know as heroes and civilians, until we're left with three each.
