UNSTABLE READINGS DETECTED INSIDE. REQUESTING CALLSIGN: NYQUIL SURPLUS AMOUNT OF BODY SIGNATURES DETECTED IN BRIG THAN REQUESTED. INITIATING EJECTION...

This week is a little different from the last. So many of you stayed at the brig with the Senior Crew to take shifts watching over the incarcerated. Everyone is vigilant, this time prepared. Even if this may not work, there's a desire to show resistance and defiance, or maybe it's just a night to bond...

All is calm, peaceful, until dawn breaks.

Emergency alarms blare loudly, waking everyone up and, if that isn't enough, everyone is force-ejected outside the brig and stasis bay, briefly capable of seeing their capsuled dead with Viktor recently added to the number. The senior crew get no special treatment, with the one on duty falling on their ass with the rest of you right by your lockers here. The familiar barrier falls down, preventing anyone from going through... This week, you do not need to crowd around to get a glimpse. The security cameras work now and everyone can watch the cell from their I.R.I.S.

They will be able to perfectly see Eunhyuk and Rosamund.

[ winces as the two of them take off. ]

Even if we did, I don't think he wants it. [ god. ] This place gets more fucked up by the day.

And this is just the start of it.

Cheerful.

[ not that he disagrees but still, don't call shoma out and then be like this yourself ]

[ she can do what she wants ]

That's rich, coming from you.

God forbid anyone but you try to be realistic.

[ i am zen i am zen i am zen i am zen i am zen i am zen i am zen i am zen i am zen i am z ]

[ glances over at the two of them ]

[ can i help you ]

[ single eyebrow raise. says nothing

watch the execution and expose yourselves to violence like good children ]

[ is it so bad that he doesn't want to see certain things after (redacted) ]

[ no that's valid but don't pick fights with mizuki ]

[ you can't tell him what to do ]

[ we're good ]

[ (x) doubt ]

[ WE'RE GOOD!!!!! ]

[ girl.

kazuki winces as eunhyuk yanks the arrow out, and just. looks away from the iris with a deep breath. ]

Maybe dying is better than the alternative, but...

[ man ]

...You don't have to look.

[holding his hand out to take it from him, if he wants]

[ arthur you big softie

kazuki looks at him and nods. ]

I know. If - If his condition gets worse, I won't. But this is what he wanted, right? Sort of.

[shhhh don't perceive him]

...Yes.

I still wish we could've done more to help him.

[ this sucks. ]

It - would have been preferable.

[his hands tighten a little bit on the iris]

[ ...bleak. kazuki looks away from the feed. ]

Kind of feels wrong to watch this happen.

[ Likewise, she also winces a little, but she does manage to keep her eyes on the screen. ]

It's not kind, but it's the lesser of two evils... as they say.

...As long as that's all it is.

We can hope so.
