[ Maybe Ion is the one who needed protection instead? Outside of whatever Fitz's wish was.

Anyway, Kyouka doesn't know any of the above, and Ion is her list of people she wants to check on. There are so few people she likes left... Ion, please stay alive.

Wherever she can find him, she'll run up to him and look him up and down for anything visible that could possibly be wrong. ]

[ lyric titles are for people who can handle what went on in that trial

so are long starters, but

Once they're alone in their room and there for the night, Kyouka will launch herself at him and hug him.

She won't say anything. She'll just cling to him. ]

[ She makes her way back to their room eventually after looking over all the victims this week. She needs to find Nico before the night is over, and when she finds him tired and wet on the floor in their room, she looks him over and her eyes pause over his hands.

It's in that moment she makes up her mind. She kneels next to him and nudges him. ]

I'm going to stab you, and then you're going to change.

[ There's no hesitation. Hi, Nico. ]

[ If Ion passes the staircase in the foyer that leads to the other floors, he will hear a small thunk. What he'll see next is a rabbit hopping down the stairs with a small ball following after, bouncing and rolling across the ground.

Shortly after, Kyouka comes sprinting after them both. ]

Will you stop Piace?

[ She's going for the ball. ]

[ If Shirasu walks past the open ballroom, he may hear the sound of glass tinkling. If he investigates, he'll find Kyouka staring up at one of the chandeliers (not the one Natsuo made iconic). There are a number of stuffed animals littering the floor (if he remembers the creepy tiger ones that could be won their very first week there).

Kyouka picks up one of her fallen stuffed friends and throws it up at the chandelier. There's a cell phone with a bunny charm hanging over the edge of it.

.... has anyone explained cell phones to him ]

[ In order to give Stephanie a sliver of kindness, whenever she's in the dorms today and passing through the common room, Kyouka will poke her head out of her room and walk up to her. ]

Can I use one of your crutches?

[ It's a sliver of kindness. ]

[ Sometime this day, whenever it fits into his schedule, Dazai can either hear or find Kyouka in the library, jumping up and down on the top rung of a ladder as she tries to grab something on a shelf. It looks as safe as it sounds, but Kyouka has enough balance that she's not wavering even as the ladder shakes.

It's not a book she's reaching for. ]

[ Kyouka is as good at cooking as she is at killing, so one of her initial ideas for a gift for Nico is to cook him something. She could try to knit him something, but she wants to give him something she knows is quality. It's traditional Japanese fare: rice, tamago, miso soup with tofu, sausages cut to look like octopi. She's asked Nico to meet her in the kitchen around this time (a time convenient for Nico's timeline on this day).

When he arrives, he'll find the kitchen with the cupboard doors open and Kyouka scaling the shelves to reach something on the top of the cupboards. That something looks like a bunny charm connected to a cell phone. ]

[ Another week, another murder, another trial. More guilty, and some guilty not found. It's a lot to weigh on her young mind, and she wonders what her next move should be.

Whether Nico comes back to their room first or comes back after Kyouka, she'll still sit on the bed and set a stuffed tiger in her lap. In fact, she attached her new child leash to this tiger. ]

Nico... do you ever talk to the dead?

[ What's up, Dazai?

Wherever you are in the hallways, Kyouka will pop up in front of him and brandish some knitting needles she pilfered from the Tailors Room. ]

Will you teach me to make a bunny now?

[ Not... a question about the trial or anything because she more or less agreed on his views on Akechi, but she won't not talk about the trial if he wants to be more on topic. ]

[ All the ramifications of the trial has hit Kyouka. It's not like she's unused to death, but it's never easy feeling so useless in the face of it. It makes her remember her conversation with Souji, and so she seeks him out.

She looks a little dead inside, but there's also an edge to the way she carries herself, like she could cut anyone if they said the wrong thing. ]

... How do we limit the bloodshed, if when one dies, three more go with them?

[ That's how she greets Souji whenever she can find him alone after the trial. Coming out swinging with a hard-hitting question.

Sorry, Souji. How are you? ]

[ Kyouka waits for him like she says. She's in the dining hall with some things she took from the kitchen, which she'll return once they're done.

In front of the seat nearest to wherever Gi-gan's portrait is, there's a bowl of rice with chopsticks stuck straight up in a it, an offering to Gi-gan now that everything is over with. There's a cup of green tea next to it.

Kyouka's seated a little farther away with a couple of bowls of boiled tofu in front of her and two more cups of tea. She hadn't felt hungry at all during the trial, but she knows she needs to eat.

Whenever Jae-ha comes to find her, she greets him with: ]

I want to remember you both. Will you show me your family?

[ Like he did for her. ]

[ She can't do anything if she knows nothing, so she's going to try to talk to some people, to see if they know anything. Anything at all.

Maybe it could help her do something. Who could say?

It's easiest to approach people who are chambermates. The proximity is accommodating, so whenever Yasusada comes back to Suite Water, Kyouka will approach him. ]

Will you talk with me?

[ It's later after things have settled a little. Reactions have been had, Kyouka has checked up on Nico, and she wants to follow up on something. Something Natsuo had said.

Something Kyouka didn't 100 percent disagree with, but a part of her was trained to not 100 percent agree with it either.

Wherever she finds him, she waits until they're not within hearing shot of anyone before she approaches. ]

It's your first time seeing someone murdered.

[ When the investigation is all done and over with, the first person she thinks of is Nico. It's with a single-minded purpose that she immediately seeks him out. Her feet are light and quick on the ground, and wherever she finds him, she makes an immediate grab for his hand, something solid to touch for reassurance. ]

Nico. You're alive.

[ Her relief is both visible and audible.

There's no guarantee it would have been only one death. ]
