Fourth.

Friday morning starts as all mornings in the Vault do. The klaxons sound off at seven in the morning; some awaken easily, some don't, but the point remains that for better or worse, everyone has to leave the room they were sleeping in eventually. A few will be spared from the immediate knowledge that something is amiss – those whose rooms are tucked away in the corners of the dorms and don't have a clear view of the hallway may get a few seconds' peace of mind. However, as soon as the main hallway is visible it becomes obvious that something isn't right. It isn't like the first week, where the blood was contained to the far end of the building. This time, the blood starts in the dormitory hallway. It looks like it's starting near one of the dormitory rooms toward the middle of the floor. >Explore?

I...

[He turns to Tarrlok like he has something useful he can say in a situation like this, but he really doesn't. He was completely useless to Megumi when she needed help because of those soundproof walls. They both were.

Colress is still in a state of shock, so his response comes off more emotionless than usual.]

It is rather obvious why, isn't it? So we cannot interfere...

[That has to be it, right? Saving someone from getting murdered isn't what the Kingmaker wants. He's made that clear enough. It just makes things all the more awful for them.]

[bloodisthicker]

I know that, but... if I'd just gone to bed later, then...

[...would he have been able to do anything, though? Here, he's... he could probably take a normal human, maybe, but... what if it was some monster like Kamui had been?]

...we'll find who did this and make sure they're dealt with.
