AFTER-ICE-CREAM-PARTY

[pecker]

[Boy everyone is so bloodthirsty tonight. And now a kid is dead and another is gonna execute. Do y'all need some baskin robbins, because it seems like you do!!! So before everyone can leave, Niwatori raises her voice louder than it's gone before now to draw a little attention, and then deflates immediately when she actually gets it.]

Excuse me, please! U-um... this case was really hard, and I think we could all use some time to cool our heads before we finally go back. So... ice cream? Who's with me?

[she'll lead the pack there and anyone else can go home or to visit Clarisse on the set of Orange is the new Black.

Niwa's not that good of a host though, she just gets her own ice cream and lets everyone serve themselves. Who is she to limit your freedom. (Someone who doesn't want to be partly responsible for a Millium Monstrosity, that's who.)]

It's okay. It's okay.

[ he'll pull her into a hug, running his fingers through her hair. he knows that his words are empty, and that things are definitely not okay...but she doesn't deserve to hear that. ]

You were as deserving as everyone else that was with you before. You can't give up.

[clearities]

Do you think I can save them? Everyone else... they're still here. They're still stuck in this town, and I feel like I can't do anything. I want to be able to do something. [...] But I don't even know where in the town they are.

[odasaku]

I think...we won't know until we try.

[ oda sighs. he's no good at this. ]

But...you can't do this on your own. There's a lot of other people still alive. Maybe you can work with them.

[clearities]

Then... I want to try. It just hurts to know that the others are still here. That they were forced to forget. And then, Bakugou-kun had to die like that... [ Not to mention that Millium has to kill Clarisse tomorrow, but she. She doesn't want to talk about that. She doesn't want to linger on that particular thought. ] It hurts. [...] Oda-san. What about you? Would you... help me, too? [ Because with the way he says it. "Them" seems to imply something else. ]

[odasaku]

I...don't know if I'd be any help.

[ a pause. ]

But I'll do my best.
