[It makes sense, honestly.]

Aoi?

[gamerbrain]

[ her primary skill is staring off into space. but she does look over at him. ]

[housewolf]

How are you feeling?

[gamerbrain]

[ and she looks away again. ]

Bad.

[housewolf]

... I'm sorry. I know it doesn't mean much.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi thought... No one else was going to get hurt.

[ really not sure why she thought that. ]

[housewolf]

I think... we're gonna have to get used to this shit.

[gamerbrain]

Why? Aoi doesn't want to.

[housewolf]

I don't wanna either, but... Sometimes it's better to prepare yourself.

[gamerbrain]

Like with a weapon?

[housewolf]

It's more like prepare to be hurt.

Anticipate that we'll lose somebody every week, so you can't be too surprised when it happens.

... I know it's shitty to always think something's gonna go wrong.

[gamerbrain]

... So it really is like a battle royale. With scheduled killings and everything...

[housewolf]

... Yeah, it looks that way. It's a weird combination of genres.

[gamerbrain]

Is this the only way they can grant a wish? If there's only one person left?

[housewolf]

I think Sazuka said something about it being more like... a lottery?

Did you get to ask an Avatar more about the game?

[gamerbrain]

... Aoi got distracted and we talked about other stuff.

But a lottery would be easier to win if less people entered, right?

[housewolf]

What did you want to ask 'em?

... Yeah, that's usually how those work.

[gamerbrain]

Forgot...

[ oh. okay? ]

Then will people kill until they're the only one that can win?

[housewolf]

Maybe? Maybe not.

It depends on how the rules of this competition are set up. If it's "The person who indulges the most has the most chances to win" then it makes sense to keep people alive to indulge with. Because some of these sins are difficult to do alone.

[gamerbrain]

But if you're the only one left, whatever you manage will be "the most." There'll be no one around who could have done more.

[housewolf]

[He makes a face.]

I don't want to go around killin' people.

[gamerbrain]

But there's someone who does...

[housewolf]

... Think it's the same person who killed Tamaki?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi can't know something like that...

[housewolf]

I can't know anythin' for sure at this point either.
