I'm looking forward to it.

[Cute animal plushies all over the place.]

Week 2, Saturday

[moonlightbeast]

[Okay yeah after how the clues fit Kumon, Atsushi is absolutely going after him to check on Kumon. He's going back to Amber apartment with some food and he'll grab a blanket from the living room before going to track down the boy. Where is he hiding?]

[9mon]

[In his room with his stuffed Juza plushie.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Oh boy. Is he crying?]

[9mon]

[He is, but he's trying to keep it quiet and muffled.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Oh no poor baby. Atsushi will come over and sit down on the edge of the bed. Normally he would keep his hands to himself, but it's touch week so Atsushi is reaching over to pat Kumon's back.]

Hey, it's okay. It'll be okay.

[9mon]

[He buries his face in Atsushi's shoulder when he's close enough. Even without the week, he's touchy by nature.]

Is-Is it gonna be? People keep dying... 'm so scared.

[moonlightbeast]

[This is fine, he'll just hold onto Kumon and let him cry.]

Yes, it will be. It might be tough right now, but we'll come out on the other side of this eventually. You're in good hands, Kumon. There's a lot of people here who want to keep you safe.

[9mon]

[He clings for a while.]

I w-want everybody to be safe.

[Somebody seems to die every week, or somebody gets maimed on field trip.]

How do we do that? Can we do that...?

[moonlightbeast]

[How can they protect everyone? How can they keep everyone safe? Atsushi doesn't know. All he has is his best guess at what to do.]

I think there's more going on that we don't know about yet. We're getting answers, but it's slow going. Remember the note you found? From the 'Dreamer'?

[9mon]

Uh-huh.

[It left him with so many questions. He hopes Dreamer managed to get out- he hopes they're still around to talk to. He's not sure which one would be better.]

[moonlightbeast]

That's something we weren't told about when we first got here, right?

There's so much more to find out about this place. And by finding out more, we'll find a way to keep everyone safe. We'll find a way home.

[9mon]

[There are things that are missing, things that the residents don't know about. If that's the Dreamer, if it's a malicious side of the Prism....

He doesn't know what they are or how to find it. Nobody is relying on you for anything, but he still wants to help.]

I guess... We just need to keep looking around.

[moonlightbeast]

[Kumon is valid and Atsushi wants Kumon to help in ways that don't involve murder.]

Yeah. Let's keep looking at any new places that pop up. And until then, let's keep being there for each other, yeah?

[He smiles.]

I know some of this stuff is really difficult, but anything that's too much for you is something I can handle. So let me help you, okay?

[9mon]

[The murder is really getting to him.]

Yeah.

[He nods slightly and hugs him more tightly for just a moment.]

Okay. Let's... try and help each other as much as we can.

[moonlightbeast]

Yeah.

[And then the execution happens and they're both fuuuucked up yep]

[9mon]

[i wish you could hug me and say everything's gonna be ok

girl, we're fucked]

w2: Sunday

[9mon]

[He's still hugging onto Atsushi after the end of execution.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Yeah they can just. Hug it out all the way back to Amber apartment. At least there they can be surrounded by warn stuffed animals and pretend the cold outside world doesn't exist.]

[9mon]

[He won't let go until Atsushi does, but on their way to their room, he'll grab all the little things they've made. Soothing.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Time to make a plushie pile! They can lay in it, it's fine.]

Stay here for a while, yeah?

[9mon]

[Here's a chameleon for his roomie.]

Yeah, 'course. I don't need to go anywhere.

[moonlightbeast]

Me neither.

[Time to hide in the pile!]

...are you going to be okay, sleeping in your own bed by yourself? We can make a fort on the floor and camp out if you want to.

[He's worried about Kumon being sad and having nightmares.]

[9mon]

... A fort sounds really nice.

[He will probably have nightmares either way, but at least they'd be close to each other then.]

[moonlightbeast]

[What if they cuddled in the blanket fort to chase the nightmares away?]

We can even use our two beds as the walls, and put pillows up to keep the blankets from falling on us.
