W2 SATURDAY

Like last Saturday, everyone will get an announcement on their tablets; this time, the announcement is preceded with a bell of some sort before Lorelei appears on the screen again.

"Good morning, everyone. This is an announcement to let you know that today's lesson will take place starting at 8:15 tonight. Again, today's lesson will be starting at 8:15. Please meet at the lower campus exit near the lecture by 8:00pm; Florence will be waiting for you there.

If you have a bag for some snacks and, perhaps, an item you can use for self-defense in the case of an emergency, please arrive with those things on you. We will provide you with an overview of what to expect when you arrive at 8pm.

Thank you."

The alert ends.

You have the day to prepare, ask each other what the hell is happening -- Florence and Lorelei do not seem to be available, strangely enough. There's a lot to take in with the information you have now. But before you know it... night falls.

[ He grins. That sounds more like the usual Shizuku. ]

Indeed, that does sound wonderful. Shii's love for you and your clear love for her.

[cheerfuldays]

You know... she's not the best with her emotions either. But she has music... and watching her grow every day is the best feeling. I- I don't know what I'd do without her...

( is that a ghoul loosening its grip more? it sure is. )

[cloudalike]

[ He blinks, confused. ]

Do you really think you're not good with your emotions Shizuku? It seems like the opposite to me.

[cheerfuldays]

Ah- no, I was referring to when you said you weren't good with them yourself!

[cloudalike]

[ He's apparently also not good at connecting the dots sometimes. ]

Ah, so I did! Wow, it's incredible that, even through you're not completely yourself, you're still paying close attention to our conversation.

[cheerfuldays]

Why wouldn't I?

( you're close, chongyun. but the confusion sort of... lets her slip back to the hollowness. my d20 is bullying you. )

[cloudalike]

[ She wouldn’t ever think to not pay attention is his impression, even under these conditions. So he tilts his head and considers his answer. ]

In cases where someone is possessed, the evil spirit can cloud their mind so much that they overpower human thoughts. That person’s personality can completely change. What’s simple becomes abstruse. But Shizuku, the parts that are you still shine through.

[cheerfuldays]

( he's right- though, part of it is that there's no point in forgetting either. as she is now, she takes all information... she simply doesn't care, at the worst of it. )

It's... not that, I don't think. There's no reason not to remember. I just see no reason to act, either, like this. Nothing seems to matter. But it's still there.

( like trying to pour water into a cracked glass. )

[cloudalike]

Shii matters. Tell me more about her. When you hear her music, how do you feel?

[cheerfuldays]

I... so incredibly proud. She works so hard, and she loves her music with all her heart.
