week two, saturday.

[Well. The door may be propped open, but that doesn't mean she's going to invite herself in. She knocks on the door first without stepping inside.]

Mac— Ah, Dorothy-san...? It's Yoshizawa. May I come in?

[misstrust]

You can.

[ It's a rather quiet voice, but probably because Dorothy's just bundled up in her hammock like a groggy caterpillar. ]

[siblingless]

[why does dw hate giving me notifs

She will leave the door propped up as she enters, frowning at Dorothy even as her eyes flicker over to Shima's side of the room.]

Um... This may be a silly question, but how are you feeling?

[misstrust]

... Very tired, honestly.

[ I can't... imagine... why... ]

Were you a friend of his? [ Shima, she means. ]

[siblingless]

... I don't know if we were friends. But we were roommates for a while.

[So, there's that.]

I'm sorry things turned out this way.

[misstrust]

... I am too. And I'm sorry that I still don't understand enough to be able to find an answer for why all of this is happening.

[siblingless]

[A shake of her head.]

Please don't apologize. You took on an enormous risk for us.

[misstrust]

We weren't able to catch his killer on time, though...

[ Dorothy sighs. ]

However, I suppose we fared better than last week. At least we found one.

[siblingless]

You're not to blame for that either, Dorothy-san. Everything was stacked against us.

[misstrust]

... I can only hope we can find a way past this. I don't think these murders are going to stop.

[siblingless]

... No, I don't think so either. It feels as if everything is getting worse.

[misstrust]

... Will you be all right?

[siblingless]

Huh...? Why wouldn't I be?

[misstrust]

Well, this isn't exactly a situation I would want any young lady to have to face...

[siblingless]

... This isn't a situation anyone ought to face at all.

[misstrust]

... No, you're right.

[ And she sighs, softly. ]

I can only hope we all get through this.

[siblingless]

There must be something we can do to put an end to this. We only have to find it.
