[blinks at the flash]

I can wait with you.

[he is deadly tired, having had barely any sleep the night before, but she doesn't look too fresh-faced either, and she seemed uncomfortable having to touch the other body, so it would probably make her very unhappy to have to carry this one around alone]

...

I-I'm going to try to wake her up.

[sits the unconscious girl up and shakes her by the shoulders, then gives her a light slap]

[of course it is no use]

/he's... going to stay? she glances up and smiles at him, then returns her attention to Pidge's body/

/she passively watches him abuse it and turns off the flash and takes another photo/

I don't think there's anything we can do but wait.

/so wait she will/

[carefully opens one of the girl's closed eyes]

She's not looking at anything... but she is breathing. Quietly, like someone who is sleeping.

This is too bad.

[settles down on the ground with her head in his lap - he'll keep two fingers at her throat to feel any changes in her pulse]

...

[locks eyes with Maria again]

The boy who did this... he was one of our classmates, right? I think I saw him when Yuri was holding his s-speech yesterday.

Why is he working for Yuri now? Do you think he offered that, and for his help he is allowed to live? But why? Yuri can kill people like this himself... he doesn't need help.

I don't know, it's weird.

/she notices the way he treats her, and she eases up a little. maybe he isn't all that bad/

I talked to him, Roma, when we first got here. He was on the stage by himself. He didn't seem too bad. I don't- I'm not going to judge him until this is all over.

/she's not sharing the letter she received/

[it's easier for him to deal with people who don't move around and talk and confuse him]

[but most of his classmates have been surprisingly nice, Maria included... though he talked so much today that his throat feels all sandpaperish and his tongue is heavy and tired]

Hm...

You know... if she-- [looks down at the culprit]-- really murdered Tony, then I think it's right that she gets a punishment. But if she dies now, then isn't... Roma, you said, that's his name? Then isn't Roma a murderer, too?

Shouldn't he get a trial, too? If he doesn't because Yuri says the rules don't count for him, then that isn't right.

/she's talked much more than she's used to as well, but doing so seems to make her feel better, so she'll keep at it/

... I don't want him to go to trial.

/she shifts uncomfortably, and stretches her legs out/

I don't want anyone else to go to trial.

/another pause/

Is someone else going to die tonight?

I don't know.

[briefly looks towards the elevator - he has no idea how many of the others are still moving around upstairs and how many have gone to bed]

I, I hope Lia is okay. I should probably have looked after her.

[makes a mental note to knock on her door before he goes to sleep]

...

Are you not angry at him? Roma, I mean? I am angry, because... I'm not sure about this girl and Tony; did she really kill her after making her think she would be her friend? If it happened like that, then I'm angry at her too. But I'm not sure. But I am sure about Roma, because I saw that he works with Yuri. We all saw him.

Who's Lia?

/she shakes her head/

Yuri's the cause of everything. Roma's just an unfortunate tool. You don't punish soldiers for killing in battle during war. So I can't be mad at Roma, but I can at Yuri.

/at least that makes sense to her/

/she shifts again, moving to curl up and wrap her arms around her knees/
