It was much smaller, the last time I did something like this, so I just put myself in the middle, but it feels a little different in this sort of group.
Probably. [haha. he frowns a little thoughtfully, looking at the canvas...] Maybe above everybody? That way you're still surrounded by all of us, but not at the same time. I dunno, placement's harder than I thought.
...but it's good to know that there are people here you care about that much.
... sometimes, yes. I only really cared about trying to find who had killed when we thought we might learn something from that, but after the weekend, I-- don't think I care much about that, either.

Besides, the competition still feels like a bit of a flimsy setup to me.
Same here. Maybe that's just another thing we should be asking Sieghart about. The daycare might know what's going on with the dorm war setting and tell us if we have to rethink our strategy there, too.
To be honest with you, I'd sort of written him off a little at first. We still got along, but we weren't particularly close, and I wasn't sure how much he could be trusted to do. But-- that did change, later. He promised he'd work with me, and help look after the others.
[there's maybe something a little more bittersweet to the smile now.]
... we'd just started getting close, when he was killed. The rule about sharing regrets-- we chose each other for that.
...that kind of thing would make people grow a little closer, I think. Sieghart's always tried to pretend he won't take responsibility but he's also bad are actually leaving stuff alone.
I'm glad you got to have some time with him before then.
The point of taking the messages is to save time, but-- I still can't take much of it for myself. It'll only last a few minutes, so we're going to have to go over things fairly quickly. That's the priority.
At least thirty seconds to say the things you want to say then. It's your prize. I just think you should be able to use it for yourself, too. That's all.

I haven't decided, yet.

[lightly teasing, as she continues to consider.]
I considered just organizing by dorm, but there are cases where I think it's better to put people elsewhere.
no subject
[he shakes his head though.]
...you ever think that maybe what we're supposed to be doing is working together instead of competing in a dorm war in the first place?

Hopefully, they'll know-- anything we don't.

I've-- well, I've missed having him around, these last couple of weeks.

Yeah...I think I can understand that. You guys got along pretty well, didn't you?

I do appreciate you taking messages to them from all of us, but make sure you save time just for you, okay? It's your prize.

Well, if I can decide what to say, I'll think about it.
