...People will do wild, violent, irrational things when they believe they are in a place that they cannot escape.

I want you to help me. No matter how hard we help each other, we're all in the same position. You guys, though....You're different.

Hm. Depends on what you want me to do.

Explain to everyone what the true nature of this place is. Why we were all brought here.

I remember very distinctly...The first time you three showed up. It sounded like this all had happened before. Brasco and Thug in particular made it seem like this was...a game?
Plus, the rule about murder...

It adds up.

Can you tell me if that's true? Has a similar situation to this happened here before?

[ she's quiet for a moment. ]

I guess it happened before. But it's not a game.

[Holy shit. She actually...

Shintaro covers his mouth, containing some measure of what isn't excitement, but...
An overwhelming sense of relief? It's a but unplaceable.]

What happened before, then? Was it like this?

Mm, a bunch of people stayed over and started murdering each other. It was pretty freaky.

...How can you be so nonchalant about that?

[What does he expect?]

That explains the rule, right?

And...why did they start murdering each other? Because they were trapped?

I don't know. It just happened.

And now the same thing is going to happen again, isn't it?

[He'll either leans in towards her, making some rare full eye contact.]

What's your plan?

[ she steps back. ]

Why am I supposed to have one? Ask Brasco or Thug!

Oy...

[And he takes a step forward.]

Aren't Princesses supposed to be responsible? [Assuming she's...actually a princess. He doesn't think she is.]

I guess.

Don't you care that people are dying? Again? On your watch?

Or are you just keenly aware that you're actually useless, so you don't even bother?

[ she doesn't reply. she's ignoring him, like a mature princess does. ]

I thought I was supposed to be the kid here, Princess.

This is my home, and you're in it disrespecting me.

I'm not disrespecting you.

[He bites his lip.]

I'm scared that I'm going to die.

I'm sorry.

[His hand clenches and unclenches more than a few times, and his lips twitch and shoulders jerk. He bites his knuckles and breathes heavily. Calm down. Shintaro touches his hands to his knees, and they bend––eventually, he's sitting on the floor.]

...It's fine.

[And he lays his back down onto the floor, staring up at the ceiling.]

You couldn't get my phone back. You couldn't help me, even if you wanted to.

You're powerless.

Just like me.

I'm not powerless. But even the great Princess Starshine can't fix murder.

The only thing that can is turning back time.

[tracer where you at]

...What are your powers? [and what makes her so great, anyway.]

I'm a master of dance.

[. . . . . . . . .

What can he do but start laughing? It's quiet, and he sounds kind of crazy and possibly terrifying, but it's there.]

I'm so fucked.

You're so rude. Are we done yet?

I'm just scared and worthless.

. . .

I guess we are.

. . .

. . .

. . .

Sorry...
