Everyone needs to rest. And, um, it's my responsibility now.

[thatsthespirit]

It isn't just your responsibility.

Remember, all of us here are working together to end this game as quickly as possible.

[flippity]

I need to help! Everyone else does so much, so I...

[ she sighs. ] I only opened it because I didn't want one of you guys trying and getting hurt.

[thatsthespirit]

[why is this child so good and pure and good??]

I know.

And you did just that. Because of you, we now know exactly what sort of dangers lurk in that building.

[flippity]

I don't want anyone going into it. Ever.

[thatsthespirit]

. . . all right.

[she says, but she's still gonna inspect the cinema the next time she's able]

If there isn't anything there that can be of use to us, then there's no point in going inside.

[flippity]

[ jokes on fucking you milla there are corpses

also papika really has no idea what the cinema could be used for since it might no longer be booby trapped?? all the other places became safe after the initial break-in but

papika mostly just doesn't want anyone going there because fuck that place ]

Right. That's true.

[thatsthespirit]

[FUCK THAT PLACE]

[they're at the hotel now, the kitchen specifically, and Milla steers Papika to the chair at the table while she fetches some water]

[also she can't help but notice how. . . distant. Papika seems right now. those are some serious deadeyes]

. . . Papika?

[flippity]

[ what are you talking about?? she's goddamn cheerful?? look at this big smile??

(she's not smiling) ]

Hm? What is it?

[thatsthespirit]

[the children have Seen Too Much]

Papika.

Are you ready for this game to be over, too?

[flippity]

[ there's a moment of hesitation, like she's not sure how truthfully she's supposed to answer this. ]

I want to go home. I just want everyone to go back to where they want to go.

[thatsthespirit]

[the hesitation doesn't go unnoticed, but her answer seems sincere]

. . . I do as well.

I had hoped we could have ended it long before now.

[flippity]

When we first came here, I... didn't think anyone would actually do what he said. With the killing.

[ except they did, and some people went a little overboard with it. ]

[thatsthespirit]

[she wishes she could've been that optimistic]

I knew someone would. I suppose I had hoped the game would end before it got to this point, though.

[flippity]

Me too. Um, at least with the bandit kills, you can say that they had no other choice, but there were so many independent ones too that it's a little...

[ worrisome?? more like a lot worrisome. ]

[thatsthespirit]

Concerning.

[she finishes for Papika]

I agree. I wish I knew why these people were killing without a role forcing them to.

[flippity]

There's probably something that they want really badly. Enough to kill for, maybe...

[ and they might also be crazy but papika does not add that on. ]
