week 5, post trial.

[robitussin]

[Another week draws to a close, but as more culprits are led away, something is different all the same. After this particular trial, perhaps it's not a surprise that there's no note or offer to meet in a specific place tonight. Can any of them say they have any energy or desire to do something like that at a time like this? The place they regrouped last Saturday evening stands there, burned nearly beyond recognition, and the townspeople look at them with the distrust that's been steadily building. Not to mention... Those are the least of the losses they've faced in the last few days.

Of course, even as so much changes day by day, the town remains, with plenty of places for people to go if they don't want to stay inside the motel. Where can you be found tonight?]

But I won’t make these mistakes again.

[ oda understands. he's always been selfish and that's why he can never, will never end up becoming the person he wants to be.

but the decision has been made. ]

You shouldn't forgive me.

[pursuitofdeath]

[But even if he learns, he cannot undo what's already been done. This will always exist inside of him-- and that's why it can't happen again.

He'll forever be hung up on this one idiot.]

And yet you know I will.
