sinking down, down

Death is a drop into a blackness that swallows you. You feel the movement of not air but shadow across your face as you plummet, and there is no bottom. No crash.

If there is another side, you do not reach it.

It is neither the light of heaven or the fires of hell that greets you when you wake. And wake you do, to the buzz and flicker of old fluorescent lights.

You are laid out beside a full-size competitive swimming pool, half-filled with stagnant water. The doors out are blocked off by locked doors covered in caution tape. The locker rooms are long since emptied, paint peeling from the humidity. The only signs of habitation are a few pieces of scattered graffiti.

Welcome to your new home. There's no sunlight, no indication of time passing. Just you and each other and your thoughts. the stagnant water bubbles a little occasionally, but there's nothing in it.

Before long you'll realize that you no longer need to eat or drink. You might notice your hand go through something if you don't focus. You're a ghost now. What's that they say about unfinished business?

Exactly! Hatsune is turning the Interim Headmistress into a culprit!

She'll either have to kill herself or end the game to save her own skin!

They actually did it. Finding a way to not sacrifice anyone else. Damn.

It's so crazy it just might work and I feel like I'm gonna pass out just thinking about it.

[Part of Kana wants to throttle Satsuki and the other part wants to kiss her on the mouth if this theory is correct and works.]

I don't think she can end the game. Maybe I'm wrong, but . . . it's bigger than her now. She doesn't control it.

If they really came up with that sort of plan...

[Of course Dolor-... Hatsune would be stupid enough to risk this, and Satsuki would be smart enough to figure out a way to fake her death!]

That... insufferable, annoying, stubborn idiot...!

[/Affectionate? She actually has hope that this might work! The trial certainly has her rapt attention now!]
