[ What do you do after all that?
Well, you mourn. After...an hour or so, a note goes out, under everyone's doors- everyone's. ]
If you also don't want to be alone after the day we've had, come to the second floor of the dormitories. Food and drink will be provided. Alcohol will be confiscated immediately.
[ You'll find Rebecca's set up the common area with food, that she seems to keep supplying, every so often. It's kind of strange, though, she seems like the sort of person to harp on eating well? She definitely has, for some of you. Yet, the food seems a strange split. On one side, there's all kinds of fruits and vegetables and breads. Legumes, made maybe not the best, but it's still an effort. Vegetable soups, no meat in sight. Simple seafood. If you're familiar with Greek culture? Yeah. It looks a lot like something they'd describe in...a history book.
On the other side? God, it's all burgers and pizzas and...pineapples? Pineapple juice? What the heck, Rebecca? In any case, there's enough food to keep everyone fed, and it seems...Tess, oddly enough, keeps bringing batches of burgers from the kitchen?! What a team-up.
The Starbucks is open too, where it's a bit...quieter? Some tea and coffee set up, there.
For those who just want to cry, in peace. ]

[ She swallows. ]
My whole world was just...torn to pieces. Everyone else, they...they should've been reacting. Such a brilliant person was taken, in such a...horrible way.

But, it is similar like that, as she says. They're all trying to act normal after someone who had died--it'd been the same for the previous ones. ]
...She sounded like a good person too.
[ He doesn't know all that much, but he thinks from the bit he's heard of her from Rebecca, that this is true.
Rebecca, something good needs to happen to you for once... ]
And...I'm sorry you had to go through something like this before.
no subject
It's...too much. Too many times. I- ...H-Hank, he- he supported me here, more than...just about more than anything else.
[ Like a father. ]
no subject
He was a good man, and I'm sure no one will be able to replace him or anything like that, but...I meant what I said before. That I'd be there for you when you need it.
...And I'm sure I'm not the only one who would at this point.
no subject
I...know that. After everything, I think- it'd be impossible for me not to. ...I've good friends here.
[ Thank you, she seems to say. ]
no subject
...That's good to hear.
In times like these, friends will help us continue to stand strong.

[ The weight around her neck, the grief in her heart... The laughs, the fights, all of it. They're real. As she lives and breathes, they're real. ]
In some ways, it makes the pain...almost worth it.
no subject
[ As terrible as things are here, he has memories of times where it was more than bearable, because of those others. ]
There's a lot of things I'd never forget sharing with some of the people I'd met here. It's obviously still not where I'd liked to have met you guys, but saying that I'd regretted becoming friends with you and the others I did would be the furthest thing from the truth.

He's not a fan of coffee, but he holds it up...cheers. Even if it's not like meeting a cup or anything, he'll then lower it to take a sip. ]
...Here's to the bright things we've experienced by meeting those have, even in a place like this.
[ He gives a little of a sheepish smile. ]
I kind of always wanted to do something like that.
no subject
She responds by raising a cup of tea. ]
Here's to.
no subject
Thanks for indulging me a little. Though...I probably shouldn't drink too much of this so late.
