[ thanks man. tomi's able to spare a half glance in totty's direction before looking away. down. just. ugh.

he's not outwardly emotional in the sense that he doesn't look like he's gonna cry, but the news has clearly hit him hard. ]


...Yeah. [ and he'd be fine to leave it at that, but that wouldn't make for much of a pc. ] He was-- How could this have happened to him? That's not--

Fuck this.

Mm... I didn't know him well, but he seemed really nice.

[ pickles too!!! like, damn, at least karma was asking for it. ]

...This place really fucking sucks.

Yeah, it really fucking does. [ HEAVY SIGH. ]

Just wanna know why him. Why-- any of this, but why Ichiban?

If it's another case of a monster going out of control, there might not be any real rhyme or reason to it.

I find that hard to believe when it was just four of us on the beach last night. Someone woulda had to cross paths with him, and--

[ and what? that still isn't a real reason or explanation. but he doesn't finish that thought because haha!! he sure is going through it!! ]

I think there were probably a lot of us staying on the island. They might not have had to go that far to run into him.

...Though I know Pickles was planning on going back to the village, so. I don't know.

[ how many murders were they dealing with ]
