[ you know what, akira?? that actually gets to her to laugh. it's small, subtle, and she knows wholly inappropriate for their conversation. but sometimes you just gotta laugh. ]
I would be careful about challenging higher entities.
I don't think it's up to you. When I was... away yesterday, I saw Death. I sat with it, and spoke to it. When I finally made a decision for myself, to try and face my fear, I rejected its company and was sent to somewhere beyond the depths of Hell. I was falling... and wandering... for what felt like an eternity. Do you think I would have planned for something like that to happen?

Each week, there are less and less of us. It is only a matter of time until we get to the end of this. Whether it is through voting or another way remains to be seen.
I think that is a rather pragmatic approach, and honestly, the most realistic. Life is ambiguous, and so any story could end in the same way. After everything that we have experienced so far... It is the best we could hope for.
[ it just seems wrong to expect a happy ending. this isn't a fairy tale, people have died, some in truly gruesome ways - what kind of happy ending would there be, in light of those circumstances? middle of the road is always a safer bet. ]
Yes. I think it is foolish to wish for anything else. For the sake of others, I would like the best ending possible, but I don't know if it'll be a happy one.

Thank you for telling me. I will hope that we can come together and figure out the real killer this week.
