... It's been a terrible week for me. But you all need to keep going.

[camena]

[ almost to the deadline. ]

Yeah. Yeah, I mean. No other option but to keep on keepin' on.

[factoring]

We're almost through here. Be careful what you share with the Reapers.

I hope Kazuki already told you.

[camena]

Sucks not being able to just tell them everything. I don't think they're bad guys. But... yeah. We're being careful.

... Told me what?

[factoring]

About the message he got. All the numbers.

[camena]

... Yeah. The "someone who should not know knows" thing, right?

[factoring]

That's the one.

[I'm going to miss deciphering those with him.]

[camena]

[ oof. ]

We're being careful.

[factoring]

Good. I'm glad to hear it.

[camena]

Ugh, this isn't what I want to talk about.

[factoring]

Oh.

What was it then?

[camena]

You? I guess? How you're feeling? What you're thinking?

[factoring]

[Hm.]

I'm accepting my imminent death. If you had or hadn't found the truth, I would be gone either way.

So... I think it's better to have it end up like this.

[camena]

Shu said towards the end of the trial, that he thought it would be better to at least have some control in the situation. Instead of just sitting around. You think so?

[factoring]

In either situation, it's not that much control. Between the random noise that are showing up, and the waiting... I think I would prefer fighting for my life. [I don't particularly like fighting, actually.]

[camena]

Not much, no... [ hrm. frowning, and trying to sort out her own incoherent thoughts. ]

It's not like it's a good choice. I just wonder if it's like—one you're going to resent.

[factoring]

I'm neither resentful nor am I the type to hold a grudge.

I'll accept what happens.

[camena]

Accepting it because you have no other choice is different...

[factoring]

I'll be alright. I'm sure I'll be seeing everyone else soon enough.

Any messages you'd like me to pass along?

[camena]

... Yeah, tell basically every person you encounter to text me more. I'm very clingy.

And also you have to text me.

[factoring]

What should I say?

[camena]

It's kind of pointless if I tell you what to say.

[factoring]

Hm, I suppose so.

[camena]

So—whatever you want. Spam. Hatemail. Lotto numbers.

[factoring]

I'd have to hate you to send hatemail.
