Really?

At first, Junpei even thought about having someone sleep in the tub, but that was pretty silly. If you ask me, even the couch seems kind of small to be sleeping on comfortably.

[ Granted, she had also volunteered to sleep on the couch at first, but that's not important! ]

[airshipped]

I suggested sharing, but he didn't want to. So now he's on the couch.

[At least... he's with the smaller Chuuya? The smaller, blonder Chuuya.]

The tub sounds even less comfortable.

[applechemist]

[ Compact Couch Chuuya ]

That's what I said! I don't even know how anyone could fall asleep like that.

[airshipped]

[nobody tell him that's his nickname]

I guess there's plenty of room, but it's not exactly cushioned.

[applechemist]

Cushioning is the most important part...!

[airshipped]

Blankets might help a little...?

[applechemist]

If it's cold!

But if the temperature is right, you can sleep without them! But if you have no cushions, you can't sleep.

[airshipped]

You can make a small layer of cushioning that way. It's not going to give as much as a mattress, but it's better than nothing.

[applechemist]

Ooh, I see. That makes sense... But no one should be sleeping in a tub, anyway!

[airshipped]

I really hope people have figured out sleeping arrangements that don't involve the tub. It looks like most people are two to a room. If the bed's big enough for three, two shouldn't be too much of a problem.

[applechemist]

Yeah. Do you think...

[ Like, that it'll lead to what this place obviously wants from them? Is what she starts to say, kind of without thinking, but catches herself and.

Hm, bad. Never mind. ]

[airshipped]

What is it, Escha?

[Look, he can't read her mind.]

[applechemist]

Um - nothing!

[ ... ]

I just wonder why they brought an odd number of people to begin with instead of keeping it to 2 per room.

[airshipped]

Beats me. Maybe this is just how many people they could take at a time?

The voice said there were 33 people when they were there too.

[applechemist]

[ Yeah that... Is an unfortunate reminder of the stuff the voice has said... Escha pauses for a long moment, glancing over to the sticky notes on the wall. ]

... I guess... Because they expect the number to go down.

[airshipped]

[He follows her gaze and frowns.]

... We made it two days without losing anybody. I wish that voice wasn't so distorted. We could've learned more about what happened here. [And with that knowledge avoided whatever ended with them all dying.]

[applechemist]

I'm sure we'll learn more. We just have to do our best to get into those locked rooms and stay focused!

And whatever mistakes we hear about from any new recordings... We can't repeat them! [ That was something the voice had said, today, after all. Find his mistakes and don't repeat them. ]

[airshipped]

It's a matter of learning everything in time. It's too bad the voice over didn't say how long they were in this place for.

[Because it's possible that they just won't.]

[applechemist]

... Not today. But the one that Junpei heard before said that it had been four weeks.

In four weeks, they went from 33 people down to 12. [ And that's the part that matters. ]

[airshipped]

They lost more than half of the group in a month?

I don't think that's natural.

[applechemist]

This place isn't just... Weird. It's dangerous, too.

[airshipped]

It sounds that way. That means we have to do whatever we can to minimize the dangers.

[ok but how]

[applechemist]

I wonder what sort of precautions we can take, besides just staying together?

[airshipped]

Maybe learn more about each other? There was something that pretended it was one of us. Just because whatever it is has our physical information doesn't mean it'll know everything about us.

[applechemist]

We should definitely learn about each other...

But Junpei thinks that there might be some kind of memory loss or... Possibly time travel. That they might not have been pretending.
