WEEK 6

[lockdownmods]

[Week six comes like an ominous wave. If anything, the wall is more threatening that it's ever been. That sign from last week? Looks aged-- like it's far more than just a week old. But more than that, it feels like something is waiting to snap this week. What could possibly go wrong, after last week?

Said no one ever, at this point.

But still, if you look around this week, you might find out something. It's like someone has started leaving clues in places old and new. Take a look around.]

You have a point. I'm... rebuilding my life back home.

[Poe shrugs slightly.]

My revenge plan failed... and I'm in a friendly rivalry with Ranpo-kun now.

[A blush forms on his pale face.]

And... um... due to some... ah... advice from Terra-san.... I.. um... will be ah... confessing my um.... f-f-feelings to him... erm.... somehow.

[Poe is sort of a huge mess. Fall in love with the guy who ruined your life, sent you spiraling into a deep depression, that you spent six years writing the perfect murder mystery to trap in forever as revenge, and once beaten, forgive him because he said he remembered you and you were the best challenge he ever had. He's not the Apprentice of Obsession for nothing.

It takes a while, but you can do it. As long as you have people around you who want to see you succeed.

[ Oh.

Oho.

Ohohohoho. Akira grins. ]

I see. That might be the bravest things you can do, sorting out your heart and admitting how you feel.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

I... think I've found a few of those people here.

[It's... rather nice.]

It's... not going to be easy... and... I um... do fear rejection... but... I... think I can be brave enough just... just for a little while.

[covertizer]

Good. Even this situation would be impossible to get through if we couldn't lean on each other.

... If you never ask, then you'll never know. Simple as that, right?

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

It... it would be far more difficult, yes.

[He can only blame you and the Clown for that...]

And... if I do get rejected... then at least I can remain his friend.

[covertizer]

[ How rude, Akira is a blessing and a help and has never given anyone grey hairs ever. ]

Yeah. Better than keeping it a secret and letting it fester, right?

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

[That sounds extremely fake.]

That's... one way to look at it I suppose.

[covertizer]

If the alternative is saying nothing and never knowing the outcome, I know which would be better.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... That... is true.

[He... thinks he would be content never knowing... but it'd ache. It'd ache so much.]

[covertizer]

You can do it.

I'm sure of that.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... I can't help but feel your confidence in me is very misplaced.... but I.. um... appreciate it.

[covertizer]

If you're not going to have it in yourself, someone has to.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

... Thank you.

[He's... getting better about the having confidence in himself thing... but it's a work in progress.]
