WEEK 7

Week 7

Monday - Thursday

[Despite earnest intentions to the contrary, last week had a business-as-usual murder trial. Well, you may not all act noble, but you'll be treated like royalty on this new floor. ...Except by Sheepy, who is still bugging you when you're awake. The strange distortions appear in the air before she shows up before everyone.]

Goooood morning! Sleep well? We unlocked the 8th floor, so make sure you move in and get cozy! The motive's on the way and it's one of my favorites! Have fun~

[ Had this been any other situation, the hair ruffling would be met with a put-upon look. In this case, though it still feels pretty weird with Rean all dolled up in a dress, the gesture isn't unwelcome. ]

...Do you really think so?

[ Rean's voice is still a little too quiet, still not looking at Crow. Because he really, honestly doubted it. Because Crow didn't know about that... Because Rean never said anything either, even if he's sure Crow's long since caught on by now.

He knew he promised to keep moving forward, relentlessly. Everyone else already set off on their own paths, following their own trails they've laid out. And where was he? What was he doing, having chosen to stay behind? To remain in the same place as always. Though it was his decision, there was no denying that it's never been the same since. ...Perhaps it wouldn't be too far off the mark for him to feel like he's stagnating. ]

Well, I have to admit you're right about one thing: I'm probably not cut out for that kind of work. Still, as long as you have no regrets, no loose ends... [ There's a brief hint of emotion in his tone. ] Then that's really all that matters, doesn't it?

[nevergraduating]

If I give you an answer to that, I'll be even cheesier than I've already been. ...But yeah. I think so.

[Even if Rean hasn't been saying certain things, hasn't mentioned much about anything after the last time they parted... he hasn't gotten the sense that it meant that Rean was in the wrong about it. And even if things were being hidden, it's not as if Crow has any room to judge. It's not like he'd been the most candid person in the months they've known each other.

Still, he's not sure if he should call it shock or surprise or dissatisfaction, but this wasn't the way he had thought things would turn out. With how far Class VII had come, with how far Rean had come... seeing him stopped in place, lingering on hypotheticals and what-ifs was something he doesn't quite know how to feel about. Maybe something resembling disappointment, but less directed at Rean and moreso at... whatever vague and undefined thing that was responsible. Maybe even himself, a little.]

Having no regrets isn't all it's cracked up to be, and I'd say what matters most comes down to making your own decisions. For me, I made my choices and I accepted the consequences that came with it, good or bad.

[And with eyes looking staring straight into Rean's own--]

I think it's about time for you to accept that too.
