Me neither.

[Her expression hardens.]

That's what the both of them deserve, at all costs.

[countermeasures]

Yes.

[if this is the week we scapegoat we all just will collectively perish]

I'm sure you'll do so anyway, Miss Hot Pants, but... let's do our best tomorrow.

[fleshedout]

Let's do our best.

[Agreed. It shall be done.]

[A long pause.]

....Also, Doctor Su. Do...mice mean anything to you?

[countermeasures]

Mice?

[she tilts her head to one side]

I had a mouse that I kept as a pet, once, but...

[fleshedout]

[Well. Hm.]

There were...a lot of mice in the alleyway, for some reason. A whole swarm of them.

[countermeasures]

[what the fuck...]

A... whole swarm of mice? But why...?

[fleshedout]

Yes. And they were colorful and were wearing...

[Makes a face.]

Snor....snorkels?

[countermeasures]

I don't know what those are?

[fleshedout]

...

Honestly, I don't know what they are either. Like. Tubes you put in your mouth? With glasses?

[countermeasures]

Why would you want to put a tube in your mouth...

[fleshedout]

To breathe underwater? They were also wearing flippers...

[countermeasures]

...should we be looking in the hot springs again, then...? For something under the water?
