week 5, graveyard, monday (eleanor, chuuya, & caren)

[doublesmall]

[it takes a minute for chuuya to open the door for her-- there's some muffled noise on the other side of it in the meantime-- but when he finally does, he gives eleanor a little grin, gesturing for her to come in.]

Hey. Feels like forever since the three of us got to talk like this, right...? You missed a few things.

[ She lets out a shaky breath, their combined presences grounding her, making the angry haze in her head subside gradually. In their intimate little circle, she feels more whole than she has in weeks.

More like human being than she has in weeks. ]

You both.. you know for sure then, that Shinssin will kill this week?

[ She's very blatantly unhappy about the prospect. But she's not foolish enough to say anything about it. This is the nature of this game and they've all been victims for far too long. ]

He can't be found, he can't end up here. He has to win. He has to—

[ Her grip on Chuuya's hand strengthens, her knuckles are white. ]

We don't know for sure, but I'd be surprised if he didn't act. He's been holding off for long enough-- we were going to go after Kurusu together, actually.

[he shares eleanor's sentiments though, honestly. he wants to see assassin win, if the three of them won't be able to-- wants him to have what he's been missing, wants him to get payback.

it's just unfortunate that it'd mean they'd be here without him for however long this game lasts.

with her grip on his hand strengthening, though, chuuya breathes out a sigh, tugging lightly at her hand to just-- pull her closer.]

That's all up to him now, all right, Eleanor? He's good at what he does. If he doesn't want to get caught, he'll get away with it.

[what he leaves unsaid is this: if assassin joins them, chuuya thinks it'll be his own decision, no matter how it might happen.]
