[ch. 3] post-investigation, w/ sanji

[asswipe]

[...

There really isn't a proper way to react after seeing Monika's body inside the glass case. Last week's discovery makes all of this feel devastating, and while Veronica can't claim to have known her very well... she did want her to live. It seems too cruel to kill someone who was already down.

But Monika is dead, so now it's time to deal with the living.

Veronica doesn't see where Sanji heads after the body announcement, so she has to track him down. Though the kitchen is ruined, she does check there first. If that's a miss, she searches for him throughout the castle until finally spotting him.

When she does, she makes sure to gently knock on the wall to announce her presence before calling out to him.]

... Sanji?

I know.

[She's still pretty hecking haunted by the injuries all over Monika's body. By the fact that she did that to herself because it was something she could control. There have been plenty of injustices in the month they've been trapped here, but this one... It's one of the most nauseating.]

We have to get this one right. We can't fuck up like we did for Dave's killer. Monika... Monika had so much potential, Sanji, and some asshole took that away from her.

[Ah... Dave. He almost forgot about that poor kid. Another innocent they let down. That seems to be happening more often than not as of late.]

Mm, we do.

Sometimes I wish I hadn't advertised I know how to fight. Then maybe some of these kids wouldn't be getting hurt instead.
