CHAPTER 5
CHAPTER 5
Almost half of the non-fairy population of Aira Niluc is gone.
Some may be feeling the absence of their fellow participants in this story. Others will stay focused on the wish they want to get. What never changes is that the story goes on, bringing you closer to the end -- and to another chapter. What will it bring this time?
Snow!
Snow as far as the eye can see, a cold blanket covering the new area. Some winter amenities are now available, ready for perusal! But that's not all there's to find: everyone also will find reminders of their homes, of people they know, of happier times.
Of their wishes.
Who will try to reach their wish this time?
[[Welcome to Week 5! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. However, please try to keep investigations to Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday! You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure.
In addition, a reminder that any Murder Proposals for this week are due by Tuesday 3:00 PM EST/12:00 PM PST! However, please note that you have the option of submitting murder proposals for a later week as well.]]

Hearing Rika's story made me think back to what C-ta said he was going through. I'm never going to forgive him for the pain he caused Riku, and I can only hope that he's not hurting him again, wherever they are now.
But...I can try to forgive him for what he did to me, Riku aside. I feel like I can at least do that much.
no subject
Some people that I was close to were murdered. I had the option to show their killers mercy; instead, I decided that they deserved death for what they had done.
I didn't kill them. But the choice I made ensured that it caught up to them. I can't say my heart breaks.
no subject
He really does. He's sure he would have felt absolutely horrible afterwards, if he'd went through with what he wanted to do at Riku's trial, but in that moment -- ]
I get it. You probably remember when I almost attacked C-ta in Riku's trial. I didn't know I had that in me, but...
[ He bites down on his lower lip for a moment. The words he wants to say are hard to spit out, but he'll say them anyway. ]
I thought he deserved it, too. I'm glad I didn't go through with it, but in that moment, I wanted nothing more than to kill him with my own hands.
[ And he's glad he didn't. ]
no subject
It isn't a shortcoming or a criticism. It just doesn't seem the sort of thing that would do well by you.
[The whole...killing thing.]
Some of us are well-suited for killing others, for better or worse. There's usually something that's been broken, with regards to people like that; it's rare that you find someone that's both suited to it and more or less intact. I don't think you're broken enough for that yet.
no subject
[ He shakes his head. ]
I don't think I'm there, either, and I don't want to be there at any point. Every week feels worse, somehow. Maybe that's a good thing.
no subject
[...]
I appreciate you joining me here. I'll likely try to keep these lit while I can.
no subject
[ He looks back at the candles, just before he turns to face Alexei directly; a half-turn before he heads back out. ]
I'm always interested in hearing what you have to say, Alexei-san. If you ever want to discuss anything in the future, feel free to let me know.
no subject
...Likewise, if you ever want to talk about anything. I certainly don't mind.
no subject
[ A nod in his direction, before he starts making his way towards the exit. ]
I'll see you later, then. Bye-bye.
