...

[She nods.]

This whole week, I felt like I had to be close to her. Now... now I don't.

[Which is probably a good thing because if she had she wouldn't have turned her body in. It would have been right here. In this room.]

[soulus]

[He knows all about keeping a corpse in the room. It would've been fine.]

Is that all?

[dawnblushed]

Yes, that's all.

...should I feel something else?

[soulus]

. . . I was at the cafeteria. The kitchen food tastes different now.

[dawnblushed]

...different how?

[soulus]

Unpalatable.

[dawnblushed]

That's... weird. I wonder why that would have happened?

[soulus]

It could be a result of the disturbance.

[dawnblushed]

I guess it could be. ...were you still able to eat, though? Even though it tasted bad? We'll probably all need our strength for tomorrow.

[soulus]

I ate at the cafeteria.

And yourself?

[dawnblushed]

[?]

What do you mean? Nothing tasted strange to me...

[soulus]

. . . Our minds should be sharp for the examination tomorrow.

[He shuffles around some things in the storage, then stands to head for the door again.]

Please do not stay up too late.

[dawnblushed]

...you keep leaving.

[she calls out before he goes through the door.]

Does sharing a room bother you that much?

[soulus]

[He stops before he can open the door.]

It's better to move around.

[dawnblushed]

[...well, she can't really argue with that - she'd certainly planned to go shooting once she was done counting her arrows.

But, still.]

...take care, all right?

[soulus]

[It's unlikely that anyone will commit another murder at this juncture. Still, Rufus pauses to let Yona's words hang in the air.]

I will return later.

[Then he's out and gone.]
