[KRAKEN]

[once you pass through the clocktower door, you find yourself in a closed room complete with a central table, notebooks and pens, and a white board for strategizing]

[a digital clock on the wall counts down to the end of the game. time to get to work, right?]

[ ...she hums in agreement. ]

It would be nice to save everyone, but that just isn't possible.

Not for now, at least. I guess there's the possibility of everyone being safe that they mentioned, but...

[frowning]

Without knowing who Echidna is going to pick, I'm not sure how likely that is. So - we just have to make sure that whoever gets hurt, we're there afterwards to make sure they're okay.

I've a reserve of healing magic at my side, so that won't be a problem as long as we are also able to help.

[ ... ] Just because we may get a cancel out, does not mean that we are safe from the others.

[after a moment, he nods, expression tightening.]

I know. But... I don't know what we can do about that possibility.

[ venat would certainly shield kraken herself if she could. ]

We face it, knowing that the possibility is there. But we will face it together.

...Right. We're a pretty good group for that.

You seem troubled? I know the decision isn't an easy one. Is there anything I could do to calm your worries?

[pausing for a moment, taking a breath]

I don't know. I just... Even trying to help them is putting them at risk. And that doesn't do anything for the rest of the teams, either. I have no idea what they'll choose or what might happen to them. But knowing how messed up this situation is doesn't do anything to change it, either.

You feel stuck, then. The perception, no, rather... the truth of this situation is causing a level of undue stress. I do not blame you if this is the way you are feeling. Rest assured, we have done everything that we could.

I would like to place my faith in Tsuruno at the very least.

[he nods]

No, I... I trust Tsuruno, and I know we did everything we could. Sometimes that doesn't make it easier, though. You know? I'm more worried about the outcome than our intentions, but - I know there's not much any of us can do about that part. I don't think there's really a point in focusing on it until we know what's going to happen for certain.

[ as someone who has done more bad things in her life, hoping for a better outcome. she can commiserate with him on this one. ]

Then why don't we do this. While we are awaiting the outcome, let us focus on something else?

Did you have something in mind?
