week 2 - makoto - sunday, post-execution

[completelycrazy]

[Since they're probably moving locations again tomorrow, Newt decides to spend the evening fawning over the chicken pigs, his only real friends in this game.

Not like he'll be bummed about the change of scenery though, truth be told. This area has been, uh... Kind of ruined for him, to put it lightly.

But apparently he's not alone, so he'll have even more distractions from getting caught up in unfun feelings.]

Oh, hey Makoto. What's up?

[ruined is putting it lightly. Makoto doesn't have enough coins to treat herself, so... time to actually pet a kitten.

Yep.

That's what she's doing.]

... Just trying to destress. Somehow.

[still, she glances askance at him, remembering that accusing Yusuke was the hill he wanted to die on.]

You were very sold on the theory that Yusuke or Sinbad had to be responsible for Ranpo.

[completelycrazy]

[A good use of her time, really. Newt approves, even if he's here for science.]

Well, yeah. The facts backed it up and no one was able to come up with a better alternative.

[He shrugs.] I know you and Yusuke are pals, but it wasn't anything personal.

[justfists]

If it meant his death, how could it be anything but?

[she misses Morgana... a lot. But mostly, she knows she needs to be protective of the friends who have a second chance here at the very least]

[completelycrazy]

[That gives Newt a moment of pause. He still doesn't see it that way, but... Fair.]

Look, that's the game, okay? If Yusuke was involved with Ranpo's death, he was only awake that night to kill someone. You still gonna defend him if he's a murderer?
