[prologue] post-investigation, w/ evan
[She's been checking up on a few people, so when she doesn't see Evan out and about after the investigation, she opts for checking in each of the suites. Thankfully (maybe), she doesn't have to barge into too many people's rooms before she finds in the water suite.
After a pause:]
So... That just happened, huh?
[tfw you want to escape murder but murder follows you everywhere.]

...Yeah.
[He trails off, uncertain what else to say about it immediately; it's awful, but... He's certain she already knows that.]
A-Are you going to be okay?
no subject
... Physically? Sure. [Mentally, though? All of this is a lot and she'd be lying if she said she wasn't feeling overwhelmed. She refuses to talk about that, though, and instead settles for leaning against the doorway and frowning.] How about you? How are you feeling?
[His stress levels seemed to be through the roof before, so she can't imagine this is... good.]
no subject
I'm, um... I'm going to be okay. [Eventually. Maybe.] D-Did you, um - know her?
no subject
No... Not really. We talked twice, I guess, but we weren't friends or anything. [Said slowly, frowning.] ... I wish I had talked to her more, but it's too late for that.
no subject
[A small shrug.]
I, um, I get it. S-She seemed really cool.

What if... what if whoever it was, um, didn't have a choice?

[He shakes his head.]
S-Sorry. Never mind, you're probably right.
no subject
[She knows what he means. She's just. God.]
If we use that logic, then we're all going to have to kill or else we'll be directly responsible for whatever happens to our homes. That's not... We can't afford to think like that, Evan.
no subject
[He takes a breath, shaking his head.]
I said you're right. Y-You are. Sorry.
no subject
[Sighing, she closes her eyes and just kind of. Leans her head against the wall.]
I didn't mean to get all preachy on you.
no subject
[...]
I mean, most people are pretty against killing other people, but... Y-You know what I mean.
no subject
[She snorts, but it seems a little devoid of humor.]
If only this castle only housed "most people," huh?
no subject
[An exhale, and a quick shake of his head.]
