trusthell | Week 3.

WEEK 3
Another week has passed; two more Survivors are gone. Pearl and Caren both had someone to fight for, someone worth killing for; perhaps it's for the best to hope that somehow they've found peace despite not being able to collect on the Kingmaker's incentive.

Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; there aren't any bodies to be found on Sunday morning. That doesn't mean the night passed easily, though - it seems another piece of your personal puzzle may have fallen into place while you slept...

Following that spiral staircase up to the second floor will reveal something strange; those stairs definitely lead far higher than you remember, up to a previously inaccessible third floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; consider it your reward for a job well done.

SURVIVORS REMAINING: 23

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

No, I suppose not.

[He knows that tone of voice. He knows it well enough not to press further on the subject.

There's nothing they can do about it now anyway.]

[Nothing at all... and Bruce hates that. What's the use of being called a 'genius' when he can't use it to help people so clearly in need for it?]

All we can do is to focus on the 'now'.

[Again, its really spoken more for himself than for Cherryblod. No matter what happens, they need to keep going--even though Bruce himself wants to stop more than anything else. But they can't stop, as much as that tears at him inside. They can't afford to stop.]

That's all you ever can do, really. There's no way to go back and undo anything, no matter how much you'd like to.

[...Similarly, Cherryblod's voice has taken on a far-off quality to it, as if he's talking about something else as well as their actual conversation.]

[Both of them certainly have a number of things to never talk about, huh.

...regardless, Bruce knows better than to have Cherryblod dwell on that, so he tries to move the conversation along.]

We'll find a way out soon. Then you can see your wife again.
