There are still chances for a good ending. Just because one week went poorly doesn't mean that they all will. Maybe if we can get more good than bad, we'll be okay.

[gamerbrain]

Even though someone is dead...?

[ characters do get killed off for plot progression sometimes. it's not unheard of... ]

[housewolf]

It's possible. It depends on what everybody else is going to do from here.

[gamerbrain]

[ she's about to ask him what he thinks everyone will do but then instead just ends up? observing what he's doing. ]

... Baking.

[housewolf]

It's harder to dwell if your body's moving.

[gamerbrain]

[ ...


she starts slowly raising her arms up. and then lowering them again. and then raising them up. ]

[housewolf]

... Do you want to mix some batter with me instead?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi has never done that before.

[housewolf]

[He hands her a bowl of brownie batter that could use some more mixing, along with a spoon.]

You could start now?

Just mix this until it's smooth.

[gamerbrain]

[ she nods and dutifully starts mixing. lucky for him, it's hard to fuck this up. ]

You're making a lot.

[housewolf]

The more I make, the less time I have to dwell.

[gamerbrain]

[ she keeps mixing, very intently watching what she's doing. ]

Internal monologue is important to the narrative, though...

[housewolf]

I can't go back in time, and I can't change what happened.

[He starts shaping his chocolate chip cookies now that he's satisfied with how it looks and feels.]

[gamerbrain]

Aoi could... If God would answer Aoi's phone calls...

[housewolf]

... I hope you get through soon.

I doesn't seem like we have service beyond the base at the moment.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi's phone never has service. But it usually connects to God, anyway...

[housewolf]

Huh...? Phones work like that?

[gamerbrain]

[ she shakes her head because. most phones do not work like that. ]

[housewolf]

Something special about yours...?

[gamerbrain]

Yep.

But... It doesn't work, here. So now it isn't special at all.

[housewolf]

Has it always worked before?

[gamerbrain]

... Mostly.

[housewolf]

Mostly?

[gamerbrain]

God doesn't always answer.

[housewolf]

Kinda like a normal person that way, huh?
