WHO: Everybody
WHEN: Day 78, Post Game.
WHERE: @ Fallout Shelter ( for the winners ) & south of Twilight Lake, 6ft under ( for the losers )

WHAT:

[ Team ❤️ ( Jill, Ciaccona, Megumi, Monika ) & Team ♦️ ( Lyney, Mydei, Kaveh, Ratio ) & Team ♣️ ( Diluc, Jing Yuan, Lahabrea, Vil ) will all come to in a claustrophobic coffin six feet underground in the field that all of this craziness started in. you're still suffering from the hallucinations, paranoia, & honesty! which should definitely be a good time for somebody trapped in a wooden box. as for the necrosis, well, that seems to have taken care of itself... but once you're able to move and inspect yourself some more you'll find that you've got shrapnel from the collapsing bunker lodged in you. nothing fatal, but it's definitely painful and very likely bleeding. it can *only* be removed *with help*. you can't remove the pieces on your own. ]

[ Team ♠️ ( Brant, Aventurine, Castorice, Jayce ) & EVERYBODY ELSE will get a text message once the game ends with the coordinates of the woods that your friends are currently buried in. a follow-up simply says bring a shovel. this is probably confusing to those who didn't participate, but they'll find out what's what soon enough. ]

…I think you’re handling it just fine. If you weren’t, then you’d be curled up in some corner, paralyzed in fear, but you’re here… ready & willing to help. Don’t let comments like that mess with your head.

I’m guessing that you’re going to try to… dig them up. Are they even alive? What if they’re still dead, then what are we going to do?

[ Is he handling it just fine? He hasn't felt this powerless since he was a child abroad the Pilgrim's Sail - and he knows that's what's crushing him now. The lack of freedom, more than the sense of guilt. Digging people up now is the only thing he can do, but it hardly feels like it's enough. ]

I was able to get some people out, so it seems they're alive - for now. All the more reasons to hurry up and dig them up.

[ he tugs on his arm when he can tell he's thinking too much about this. like, sure, it's bad, but brant could have been on the other end making other people ( people like him! ) feel like how he's feeling now. ] ...you don't need to spiral. None of this is your fault, and you're here, doing what you can to help. I can... try to help too. [ even if digging makes him internally cringe. ] Then you're coming with me.

[flameboundcompass]

[ he'll pull him close again, this time, to kiss the top of his head ]

Don't worry too much about me. All I'll need to feel better is your warmth.

[malumdiscordiae]

...y'know, I'm going to worry extra hard when you say not to worry, but I'm glad that I can help... even if it doesn't feel like I am, at least at the moment...

[flameboundcompass]

I will not hide my heart from you. Once we're done helping everyone, I promise I'll pour everything out to you.

[ he'll give him another kiss, this time, to his lips, and then pull back ]

[malumdiscordiae]

I don't doubt that, but I... I'm just worried, and I don't like seeing you like this. [ he'll return the kiss and then take his hand once again. ] Let's go find more of your friends.
