Hi, Alex.

[she gives her a small smile.]

I think it's almost over now. So - if that's true, better.

[camena]

Thank God. Or whoever.

... Think you guys are in the lead? If you... even want to talk about that right now.

[honkinbigteeth]

[whew. she nods - it's a pretty understandable question to ask, and she phrases her answer cautiously.]

Um...yes. We definitely are.

[camena]

Good. Like it—sucks. The steps to get there. For everyone.

But I trust you.

[honkinbigteeth]

It definitely does suck.

[it's hard to act like it's a good thing when it's obvious what that means.]

But after all, it's why we're still here - if we weren't able to do something, there's no way someone wouldn't have taken us out. And other people died instead so - I think it's important that people know.

[camena]

I just wish we knew a little more. Like, what next week is going to look like. But I get that there's limits to what anyone can tell us.

[ anyway. she doesn't really like just talking logistics because that feels kinda. sad? ]

... Are you hungry at all?

[honkinbigteeth]

I don't know, either.

[but. she nods.]

Yeah, I'm hungry.

[camena]

... Any preference? Pick anywhere you want out of seven hundred burger places. My treat.

[ it's free. also there are places that aren't just burger places. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

The diner, with the milkshakes and stuff.

[camena]

As long as you only want one of the normal milkshakes, sure. Sounds good.

[ walkin' time. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

Normal is good. Throwing people against the wall could be fun, but it's pretty expensive, and I have everybody except Kai now.

[camena]

Is it fun...? [ unsure. ] But depending on what's in the shops next week, you can have the rest of my money to throw at your game.

It's not like I'll need it.

[honkinbigteeth]

It's so fun! [i have no idea what gameplay moon track even offers.]

Really? But what if there's something important we need to buy?

[camena]

What, you think they'll spring something on us at the last minute?

[honkinbigteeth]

What if there's something really good in Ikea like a medal that lets you bring somebody back to life?

[camena]

Then I'm gonna be really annoyed I wasted any of my money on stupid cursed foods.

[honkinbigteeth]

Same! I'm getting mad at it already, and it's something I just made up!

[camena]

... I think the dead wanted us to spend our money, though. So that's... something?

[honkinbigteeth]

Oh, good point. Right to gacha, then.

[camena]

May as well!

[honkinbigteeth]

I'll wait and see how things are looking on Monday, I guess. But if we don't need the money anymore, I'm going to try to get Kai. In case that's the key to everything.

Imagine if because I don't have Kai, I can't save everyone, so we have to leave Count D here and all the animals in his store get erased!

[camena]

I really can't imagine they'd make the win condition here a game within a game.

Or more like, there's not even supposed to be a win condition to begin with?
