Suppose they’d make you remember if they wanted to tell you anything through a dream… wouldn’t make sense to not remember it, any warnings… instructions.
[ Lowkey agitated in the fretful way only Daan can. And maybe Nehan would’ve because that’s his twin but we’ll never know now Nu. ]
Have we found anything to point as to how this could’ve happened?
...No. The premises are different. That we'll all die.
[ ...
But that's really... such a grim thing to say to Nona. He tries to shake it off. ]
You really don't have any clue... any idea of what could have happened? Mr. Aventurine would have had to pass through here, being with us at the cabin up north.
[well, she also refuses to accept that they'll all die at the end of this, so it's fine.]
He was with you in the cabin? [she shakes her head.] No, I saw no sign of anything like that. And apparently Death's body was found in the church, even though they weren't there last night...
Mr. Aventurine allegedly worked for a rather large corporation or group of some kind, and he was pretty inquisitive... asked a lot of questions with a keen eye.
If he managed to find a way out of the cabin we didn't, and got caught up in it...
... Mm-hmm. He told me he was a merchant, and he did seem pretty clever... I could see something like that happening.
Though I wonder—what was Death doing in the village here to begin with? Were they meeting with one of us for a chat, and just couldn't go back once the fog came...?

[DAAN YOUR TWIN]</small. I haven't heard anything like that. Just, um, reports of people finding the bodies and stuff along those lines.

It was very similar. The last place I was in.
Dreams — that devil would appear in them, reminding us of our time limit… and what we had to do if we didn’t want to die in the Festival…
no subject
The Festival?
[time limit??? AND MY HTML]
no subject
The festival to end all festivals, he called it. He encouraged us to slaughter each other, claiming only one person could emerge as champion...
And we had three days to do it.
It was... where I was, before coming here. On the third day.

Daan...
[though. some things kind of make sense now.]

I don't want to believe the same thing is happening again, but... it's all...

[...]
But whatever's going on here, I'm not willing to accept something similar as the outcome—that only one person can come out of this.

He and I were having a drink. I didn't imagine I would be able to sleep, but it... looks like I did.

"Traitorously", says the bulletin.

Like they were killed for trying to interfere with the ritual, is what you're thinking.

None of us knew the fog was settling in. I'm not sure if they did.

We can't ask them now. The crows are gone.

If it was one of us... they might stay that way, too.

I suppose it's not out of the question, although I can't see why any of us would want to kill Aventurine...

We might have to do something about them, you mean?
no subject
I don't know...
I hope not.
[ He realises the way he cut off makes it sound like he's implying something crazy. ]
I just meant that we might have to face some things we really could've done without.
...
But that describes everything too.
