[ hah. later on, she'll be in the chapel - same as when she found him before. ironic, isn't it? she's quiet, sitting in a pew near the front with her head resting to her staff as she clings to it like her life depends on it. ]
... don't apologize. Not like it was your fault. We just messed up, all of us. Really bad.
[ ... ] And as angry as I still am at her, I know it wasn't her fault either. Not really. It feels like these transformations can happen to just anyone, and once it starts, you'll end up killing someone no matter what.
[ he's quiet again for a moment. then: ]
How well did you know them? Everybody, this week. I ... really only know Hunter, since we're friends, but I never got to know Mammon or Meltryllis and...
And it sounds like they don't even know until it happens, otherwise...
[ otherwise, hunter wouldn't have told her about the antidote. otherwise, they'd be able to do something, give some kind of warning before... ]
I didn't know Stefano and Meltryllis that well. Mammon was my roommate, and Hunter, my friend. They've both helped me a lot since we first came here... It almost feels like it's just another nightmare, and I'll wake up in our room and Mammon will still be there.
Mammon had the bed, in ours. I'm not sure that I could take it, either, now that he's... [ she takes a deep breath. ] It's hard just being in there, knowing what happened. And the smell...

week 2, post-trial
he does know her, and more than anything, he thinks he can guess how she's feeling right now.
So he dedicates a portion of his night to finding her, however long it takes, wherever she'll end up being. ]

Brilith? It's ... it's me. ... you gonna be okay?
[ Can I join you?
He doesn't immediately, instead watching her for some cue. ]

I don't know. But I think... I understand how you felt a little better, now.

[ soft and sincere. he will end up taking a seat beside her, worriedly watching her face. ]
I'm sorry you do.

[ including isaac. maybe especially him - it sounded like he may have needed someone like asch, the way she apparently needed hunter.
...but there's still a chance he could be alright. so she doesn't want to dwell on this. not yet. not if there's something else to focus on. ]
Did you know? About Meltryllis.

... I guessed, but ... I didn't know for sure. She ... was my vote last week.

...I'm sorry we figured it out too late.

[ its bald, but it's not unkind by any means.
Nia and Asch. Mammon and Hunter. Too similar, all of it. Even down to the accused, and ultimately voted for, friend.
but hunter will be fine ]
... 'm sorry. You know, Nia got the bed in our room. Now that she's gone, me and Ash, we ... neither of us ever took it.
[ felt too weird, to take what was hers. ]
