Who: Everyone
When: Day 45, early afternoon
Where: Everywhere

[ You've had your time to exchange candy and spooky stories, and the game has come to an end! Everyone who took part received a bag of candy to take to their train, as a bonus reward for the entertainment. Shortly before the game setting can fade away, Finn's going to declare the winners:

Thyme, Senna, Jasmine, and Clover ]

Aaand that's a wrap. With any luck, you guys had some actual fun. Don't forget to brush your teeth and, huh ... enjoy the candy?

The part with you being kind of a cold dick.

Depends on circumstances.

It's. Weird for that kind.

That kind?

That kind of circumstance.

Delta should be upset. The fact he's going so hard for cold logic, that he doesn't want to leave....

And I'm still acting like that.

You usually seem more compassionate toward others.

At least towards my friends.

Delta was my friend.

So what happened?

I don't know.

I mean, I get up the blowing up the body thing. York is full of experimental tech, that makes sense. Though sending me sure as hell doesn't.

And why I'm acting like that....I don't know.

Maybe something else was affecting you.

...it doesn't seem likely.

Nothing I was doing was....technically a thing I'm incapable of.

I've shut down my emotions like that. Multiple times. The oddity were the circumstances I was doing it in. And I remembered Delta.

That's what I mean. Maybe something was affecting you emotionally.

Yeah, but what would be....

Really bad.

What do you mean?

I have a high threshold for bullshit going bad. Get it in my memories. Got it when Clover's hearts all got ripped out.

I know how I react to pretty bad shit.

To be acting like that would have to be...something horrific. With a very high bar of what's horrific.

I'd almost jump to it being damage from the AI implantation, except I'm not suffering that damage now, so it has to be psychological.

—Wait, what's this about Clover's hearts getting ripped out?

It happened in my second trial.

Fuck, how did I miss that?

No idea, especially when people had clockwork limbs a few days.

Must've been when I crashed out for a few days. Sorry you had to put up with that shit.

Who ran it?

[Shrugs.] What I do.

Vampire.

I don't think I've met that one.

Haven't seen them since.

Anyway, you're allowed to be upset about stuff like that, you know.

It's not about being allowed, Felix.

It's about how I am. I'm not ashamed to feel or whatever, just had enough situations where I needed to be functional right then probably.

I get that. I'm just saying maybe you can de-condition that. It sounds like an intensely demanding way to live. And unfair to you.
