[newlydead r2] day 13 - zelda

[unexpectedboner]

[at some point midday, Junpei is going to try to catch Zelda alone for a second]

Hey, you got a minute? As you can probably suspect, it's about votes...

Comments

[andascholar]

I wish so too. But we must focus on what we can actually do. And what you can do is protect Mari.

[unexpectedboner]

I will, I promise. That much I can do...

[scrubs at his face with his hands for a beat before offering a thin smile]

Thanks. If you need me to try to talk to anyone else, let me know.

[andascholar]

Thank you, Junpei. In the next round I may need more help, but for now, I think we've done as much as we can.

[unexpectedboner]

...Right.

[hesitates, then gently pats her shoulder]

Let's...let's hang in there and see what happens.

[andascholar]

[Oh honey. Zelda looks up at him and nods, silent but firm and resolved.]

[unexpectedboner]

[he will pretend to be the same, in that case!]

[let's do this let's save the idol]

[andascholar]

[NEVER MIND THE IDOL DIED Coming to find him later.]

[unexpectedboner]

[eventually he can be found in one of the darker aisles of the prop room, attempting to splint the two little fingers of his dominant hand; this is going as well as one would imagine]

...Hey.
