We're lucky that it's apparently awful at covering up its murders, too.

[She's curious about how she's been worse - but now doesn't seem like a time to delve into that.]

If only not being personal made it any easier to deal with, right?

[She snorts.]

I'll say. Not so sure we'll be able to count on that in the weeks to come, though.

[And in any case, more people are going to die before they're through here. It's not a happy future they have ahead of them, but at least this week they sort of won. Sort of.]

But I'd rather give the credit to us than to the demon. We were smart enough to suss it out pretty quickly, and that's something we can count on.

[...]

It'll make it easier in the long run, it not being personal.

...Yeah, probably not.

[She leans against the railing, glancing out at the ocean for a few moments before she looks back to Katy.]

Right. Even through all the bullshit it tried to toss at us... We did pretty good, I'd say.

[While she doesn't comment on the last statement, her expression grows more sympathetic.]

Better than I expected after that first week.

[As much as she hates to see Prompto and even Monika gone after this, it's better than four bodies. Yeah, the hosts all came back, but still. That trial was chaos.]

But I suppose we're in for it again next weekend too. Don't like that.

...Yeah. Well, hopefully there won't be four people next weekend.

[Even that thought makes her pause and drag in a breath, shaking her head.]

Kind of crazy that that's already become our standard, isn't it?

[CRIES INTO HANDS...]

Oh, I don't see that happening again. Why would it? We have no reason to start killing each other.

[haha... ha...]

We don't, so hopefully our resident demon doesn't get overconfident.

[Oops.]

[mistakes were made.]

I'm not sure they'd be allowed. Don't the rules say it's one per week?

[She's flipping open her clamshell to check the wording.]

...Nice to know there's rules for them, too.

[Even though she has 0 trust in that.]

It'd make sense, wouldn't it? This place seems to function on rules.

[She shrugs.]

Right now, I think they still apply to the demons, but who can say?

Well... I guess I'll just have to cross my fingers that you're right. I mean, it wouldn't be fair if they had all the advantages, would it?

[Even if that's what she's anticipating.]

If they just wanted to kill us all, what's the point in going through all this? We have to be able to win somehow.

...Right. I kind of wonder why we came here in the first place, though. Like - obviously the demons want us here so they can mess with us, but they weren’t here in the first place. If it was the people who came here before us... I’ve been told they don’t like us, so why bring us?

[She nods. All good thoughts...]

What do you mean, they don't like us?

Oh, it's something Nathan said. They're mad that we have a chance to get out of here, when they're... You know. Kind of screwed.

Right.

[...]

Is there some third party we don't know about? That'd make sense, right? Someone who's got a vested interest in getting rid of this demon, that's on our side.

You mean, apart from all of us?

[She pauses to think about it. When she speaks, she's a little bit curious.]

Maybe, but - why do you think so?

Well... If it was just the demon, why give us any sort of edge? What's the point of this crap with the trials and the rules? Demons are supposed to be about chaos and shit, aren't they?

[After a few moments of thought:]

...I wonder if it was some kind of system the last group set up. If not - where did it come from?
