[ she just uses her grip to lift his arm. then lower it. and then lift it again. hm. ]
We don't know. And that's... sort of the sticking point.
[ ... ]
... [ oh thanks for reminding her?? ] Right, we don't even know how many killers there are. Whether she was involved and then backstabbed, or planning to kill someone, or-- [ she trails off with a defeated sounding huff. it's like she just had how badly they fucked up really driven into her head again and she just bumps her forehead against his shoulder again. hide her, she hates this. ]
[Yeah, he's just going to bring a hand to the back of her head to pull her close. Its okay, Alex! He's got you.]
We can't beat ourselves up. We just have to keep moving forward. And of course, we have to figure out how to stop all of this so it won't happen again.
[There's a long beat.]
Speaking of which...I heard something about our Leaders I think you should know.
I'm alright, I'm just-- [ ... a lot of things. frustrated, angry, sad. it's a mess. she doesn't say anything for a bit; just stays where she is, only moving so she can get her arm free to cling to hansa again.
when he mentions the leaders though, she turns her head so she can look up at him. ]
[He understands. It's just a mess everywhere. A mess of a trial. A mess of emotions.]
[But with this, he looks serious.]
...I heard that Virid may have not gotten the idea himself to do what he did. He was told to by a Leader. I don't know if that's really true, but...we have to be careful. If one of them is working against us, and instigating these murders...we can't let it keep happening.
Wolf mentioned something about who Virid spoke to being important. And Sora mentioned it could've been a Leader. Sharon and I were going to try and figure out more about what the rankings represent, to see if we can get any clues from how things change weekly. Maybe figure out which team Virid was on and see if that gave us any clues.
We were going to talk about it after this weekend, but...
[ well.
sometimes a binch is dead and you miss out on your girl talk. ]
I guess I can join in on that endeavor. I'm sure Sharon wouldn't want us to abandon it. [A sigh.] Anyways, what I would also do is try to ask your Leader to show their face. Apparently they can do it without too much fuss...that's the rumor, anyways.
Hm, that's what I thought so too, and some of the Leaders have said they might have consequences against them for it, but apparently not. At least, maybe with their own team...
[Who knows?]
There's still a lot we don't know. But if we dig deeper...we can get to the bottom of it.
You... don't have to pay a price to talk to your Leader, but you do to talk to another Leader. Maybe who your leader is does have something to do with it.
...
Mm. That's always how it is. It's just the digging part that can be tricky.

I think it'd help, if we know whether it relates to who is killing, or to our actions during nova hunting. Or both.
