Study

[vytis]

[Lithuania frowns at Yuzu's state when he enters the study.]

You look exhausted, Miss Aihara.

[terriblesister]

...That bad?

[trying to sit up a little straighter oops]

[vytis]

Having trouble sleeping? [Lithuania smiles a little, trying to look a little reassuring, or something.] The weekends are always kind of exhausting here.

[Not that the rest of the week was much better. It was really just a choice between post-trial exhaustion and upcoming-Wednesday nerves.]

[terriblesister]

Y-Yeah... [that's one. very polite way of putting it. bad weekends]

[vytis]

Don't work too hard--you'll run yourself ragged before the end of the week that way. [Which is a very polite way of saying that she shouldn't be acting like more of a target than "special skills: none" already makes her. He glances at the notebook.] Studying up on the rest of us?

[terriblesister]

I suppose...

[she pushes her notebook labelled 'PLAYERS' across]

I even wrote that, a week ago. But I still didn't think it could be her.

[vytis]

[Lithuania scans over her notes curiously.] I don't think it's necessarily a bad trait to want to see the best in people under normal circumstances. This place is just--different. [Putting it mildly.]

[terriblesister]

..."Different". [would you like an 'understatement' badge good sir]

So I should suspect everyone?

[vytis]

[Lithuania is a pro at understatement.]

Dismissing someone out of hand could be dangerous, yes. Everyone--has things they're not willing to give up.

["Everyone has a price". Lithuania is also a pro at politeness.]

[terriblesister]

....I've never had anything I'd kill for.

[or at least she thinks. Did that mean she'd been brought here, knowing she might?]

[vytis]

It's really not something you should have to think about. [Lithuania thinks Yuzu's situation might be one of the cruelest here--a normal girl shouldn't have to be in this situation.] But now you have to, so--better safe than sorry.

[terriblesister]

[...Yuzu is silent for a moment, but eventually ponders aloud:]

Say? The incentives. Do you think they're targeting specific people?

[vytis]

[There's a pause as he tries to decide how honest he wants to be about his paranoia.] Probably. It would make sense for what they want to happen, right?

[terriblesister]

They dragged us here. They messed with our memories. They know exactly what makes us tick, don't they?

[begging the question, of course, 'is there an incentive waiting for me']

[vytis]

They probably know what will tempt us, yes. I know people have been saying "this incentive is stupid" and "no one would kill for that", but that sort of thinking--in a place like this, it's better to assume that someone will.

[terriblesister]

[she nods]

We should have known since Bernkastel. That was too... neat a coincidence, wasn't it.

[vytis]

We're all from so many different places, there are all sorts of things that might tempt someone that wouldn't occur to us.

[terriblesister]

...And it would be too easy if we could predict it, right?
