Week 2 - after trial

[relieable]

[everyone is probably more than a little stunned over what has been going on. while it is true that the Sergeant told them all this would happen, it's different to have to witness it with one's own eyes. while Nine is led away, and the townspeople leave the court, it is up to the visitors to decide how to move forward. do they talk among themselves? do they reflect on the events that took place alone? one thing that is certain is that the Sergeant got his way this week. will he continue to force them to keep picking each other off in the weeks that come? only time will tell.

this isn't really an after party. it's too sad, but perhaps many people will take comfort in the fact that they are not alone. either mingle at the motel, or somewhere else in town, or even visit Nine in his cell. it's up to you as to how you will spend the rest of this afternoon]

[This time, Millium can actually hug her back, and she does. She hugs back tightly, not tight enough to hurt poor Cian but enough, and lets her eyes well up and run over one more time.

It's okay, here.

When they both let go, she sniffs a little and wipes at her eyes.]

...thank you, Cian. I dunno how much of that is true, but... I guess I gotta try, right...?

[...and speaking of being a better person:]

Umm... I'm sorry about what I said about Dabi in the court room.

[Things she should probably say to Dabi, but, well. She's honestly more upset that she hurt Cian, and she's not dumb enough to have missed that.]

[ Cian looks surprised by this apology. She honestly hadn't expected Millium to ever refer back to this incident. ]

You were upset and Dabi-san's not everyone's kind of person, I understand that.

[ Though overall naive, Cian isn't stupid enough to not realize that 'villains' and terrorists and the likes are.. pretty problematic when it comes down to it. ]

It's not something you owed me an apology for anyway.

[doublelammy]

I know that, but I know you were upset when I said it, too.

[Still, she knows what Cian's really getting at.]

I really don't ever see him or talk to him, but I'll apologize to him, too, when I do. 'Kay?

[integratedsoul]

Mhm, that sounds good.

[ Millium is such a good girl, Cian is legitimately touched by this. Apologies as a favor to society are one thing, but as a favor to her personally it just means a little bit more. ]

Thank you.

[doublelammy]

[Millium is a girl, that part of that statement is correct. The rest of it is extremely questionable.

She makes a quick "mm-mm" noise as she shakes her head no.]

Thank you. You didn't have to come find me.
