Week 1

[bathymetric]

Good morning, New Rapture. A new day is dawning.

There may not be much light to differentiate the days here, but the lights of the part of the city you're in change enough by the clock that you can almost believe there's a sun somewhere. It looks like Mayor Fontaine has no intention of going back on his deal, and for the time being? You're all stuck here. But there's plenty to do, and... maybe not plenty to see, but there's enough. There's something, at any rate.

Especially if you're willing to look beyond the surface.

And if you spend enough time around others, you might find something neat!

No matter what, it's time to start getting to know your fellow captives. You might be here a while.

... Perhaps. Regardless... it's much too late to regret it now. No amount of wishing I could go back and change things will affect how they turned out. The best I can do for her now is... leave her be, I think.

[ After all – even in a situation like this, Mielle's fairly certain she's the last person in this or any world that Aria would ever want to see again. ]

She can find her own happiness. And I can find mine.

[Find her own happiness...]

...Mm. I think that's exactly the right attitude to have.

That's all anyone can do, right? To find what makes them happy and pursue it.

[honeyedtea]

Mm. That's right. To me... I think focusing on finding your happiness is the most important thing you can do. You have to pursue it for yourself, because no one else will give it to you.

[ Not that any of it ever worked out for her. But the attempt, the effort - that was all still important in its own way. ]

[sastruga]

...I know this is a bad place for it, but... I hope that... somehow, you can still find it here. Or once we do something about the Mayor and all leave together.

[honeyedtea]

... Yes. I hope the same goes for you too, Mafuyu. Finding happiness in a place like this is difficult... but that makes it all the more precious when you do find it.

the same smile....

[sastruga]

The best of luck to both of us, then!
