The peaceful times are over. Moloch von Zinzer was murdered, and Nine was sentenced as his murderer. Everyone in Cartesio knows that.
Although life goes on, it seems the town of Cartesio isn't going to forget the tourists' transgressions. Not only they commited larceny in the cinema, they also murdered and executed in their town! It's no surprise their hospitality towards the visitors has cooled down considerably.
Not only they're maintaining a tense cordiality with them, they also have started talking behind the visitors' backs. All kinds of rumors are starting to sprout, yet nobody seems to be willing to say it to the tourists' faces. Talking directly to most passerby makes them distrustful, and nobody seems to want to be in close quarters alone with them.
It's only matter of time before the relationship between tourists and Cartesio starts degrading even further.
In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and
the maps have been updated once again.

mostly because he needs something to take his mind off of the entire situation, especially with sandalphon's disappearance and the fact that, by tomorrow, there might just be another body.
but every person has a limit and it seems he's finally reached his. after returning from the park, oda decides to lean against the next car for a quick rest. he's about to pull the box of cigarettes from his coat pocket when cian comes offering a water bottle, which he takes and promptly begins drinking from it. he practically downs about half of the water before he finally sighs in relief. ]
Thanks. [ he's not smiling, but his expression is gentle; he's grateful. ] You should rest, too.

[ She says, obviously pretty tired. But despite the exhaustion she also looks deeply content. Building something physically has been an amazing feeling and even though it's nothing that will be strictly useful in the future, it put Cian at ease. ]
You've done an amazing amount of work today, I really cannot thank you enough.

when she thanks him, he shakes his head. ]
It's nothing. I wanted to help somehow...even if it's just like this.
no subject
[ She stretches her arms above her head, relaxing her body a little. Taking a talking break is not a bad idea after all. ]
This ended up a completely different kind of project than what I thought it'd be, though.
no subject
Oh? What did you expect?
no subject
[ She laughs. Things did go... very out of hand. ]
But when I asked people what kinds of things they like, they said all kinds of things. Jughead-kun suggested a drive-in, Bakugou-kun a martial arts competition... My original plan was to accommodate as many different interests as possible and I guess... it's going to end up a few different events now after all.

[ he looks a bit worried!!! ]

[ There's a pause here. She should probably clarify this some. ]
There's no way to change yourself that doesn't also involve effort, is there? In my world, I never had to put effort into anything. Strained muscles, exhaustion, sickness... I didn't get to feel them either. So if I'm doing this now and it's exhausting, that's a sign I'm moving forward for once.
no subject
but then, he nods. ]
Yeah, you're right. I'll help you whenever you need it. Exerting yourself is good, but don't overdo it.
no subject
[ This comment like all others is said with a smile, but Cian really means it. Exhaustion and pain are terrifying and the last time she felt them was during a traumatic event in her childhood. This whole town is terrifying and forcing her to reinvent herself. Sure, she's been dreaming of change for a long while, but is this a good way to attain it...? Cian doesn't want to stop and ask. ]
If you need anything, you can ask me as well.
