Sixth.

[trustwellness]

While the week may not have been everything that was hoped for, it hasn't been met with much tragedy, either; things have been solved, things have been found, and once again, the week has passed without interference from the executioner. Overall, it hasn't been too bad; however, that doesn't mean that things haven't been strained in some way or another – the incentive and all of the deaths you've been dealing with over the past several weeks are surely taking a toll of some sort on the group. The chimes ring out on Friday morning, as they always do; the morning is quiet, but that doesn't mean that things have been uneventful. The third floor is probably enough indication of that, actually. Don't worry, it's not like there's blood thrown around or bodies in the hallways; just the same, that doesn't mean the night passed easily for all of you. You know. In case you were feeling hopeful. >Explore?

[ God that hurt to hear

Elda doesn't turn to comfort her friend after a glance back to see Silver was there, but she does pointedly head towards the body herself. The implication is sort of obvious from her body language: Elda intends to do her best to examine the body so Hanyuu doesn't get at all tempted to think she has to. ]

[oyashiromama]

Don't. [...Her voice cracks, but-] I... I'm going to.

[She's still so not okay but there's a fiery determination underneath it all.]

Please. Let me.

[matchbreaker]

No, why should I?

[ Elda's not particularly big, so she can't exactly do much to block the other woman from getting close, but. ]

[oyashiromama]

[There's tears running down her face, but as she steps forward, she says, forcefully:] Because this time, when someone I'm taking care of dies, I won't stand by idly. This is- this is my- ...no, this is what I want to do!

[ Elda's not crying. She didn't love Vanille particularly much - but she does love Hanyuu, and she turns to face the woman with swimming eyes of her own finally. And more gently than Elda should be under the circumstances, she reaches out to hold one of the Hanyuu's hands and asks, somewhat out of character, ]

Are you sure?

[ It's a little bit patronizing of her to ask twice, she knows, but still. She feels she has to. ]

[oyashiromama]

[She nods, firmly. ...She doesn't pull away, either.]

I'm positive.

[matchbreaker]

[ She...

Squeezes Hanyuu's hand once before letting go ]

I'll find whatever else we need to find in the room.

[ But the unsaid implication there is that she also doesn't intend to leave the room ]
