Someone died, yes.

[ he sighs. ]

Where were you?

[gamerbrain]

Is this a mystery game? Aoi has an alibi.

Aoi was in the rec room watching everyone play with slime.

[dotcom]

That doesn't matter if everyone got knocked out.

[gamerbrain]

Oh, right.

Where were you?

[dotcom]

In my room with Mineo.

[ hmm. ]

You weren't able to hear anything outside the room you were in, were you?

[gamerbrain]

... An animal.

Aoi heard something scurrying around, outside! When the door was done oozing.

[dotcom]

[ he doesn't comment on the oozing thing. ]

Did the others in the room hear that?

[gamerbrain]

Dunno... It was right before we all fell asleep. Aoi didn't think to ask, in the morning.

[dotcom]

[ aoi..... he sighs. ]

If you run into anyone you were with, make sure you ask. That's important. I couldn't hear anything at all from outside my room.

[gamerbrain]

Got it. Aoi will check!

Do you think there's a monster out there?

[dotcom]

... there could be anything out there, at this point. We don't have any real information.

[ hm. ]

And the Avatars aren't talking to us yet.

[gamerbrain]

Space monster. Probably.

[ that's what she's assuming, anyway. it's fine. ]

... They don't seem like they're taking it very seriously. Maybe they think it's a comedy.

[dotcom]

Well, if they're not the ones in danger then there's no reason for them to take it seriously.

[gamerbrain]

They don't care about the rest of us?

[dotcom]

I highly doubt it. Why should they?

[gamerbrain]

... Because they're overseeing the game.

[dotcom]

That doesn't mean they have to care about the pieces.

[gamerbrain]

That's sad...

[dotcom]

Learn not to worry about it.

[gamerbrain]

Got it...

[ does she. ]

[dotcom]

Do you.

[ doubt ]

[gamerbrain]

... How do you learn to not worry about something?

[dotcom]

You think about what's actually important to you, and don't focus on the rest of it.

[ ... ]

Which, I suppose, would be hard for you in particular.

[gamerbrain]

[ he's. not wrong. ]

How do you know what's important to you?

[dotcom]

... you just know.

It's a feeling.
