Funeral Service for Adaman and Hodaka Morishima

[giddyundertaker]

[ An hour or two after the first trial's end, Hild and the Undertaker set out to invite as many people as possible to the Restaurant for the funerals of our dearly departed friends.

Why the restaurant of all places? Because there aren't enough chairs and tables elsewhere.

Indeed, some of the tables have been moved against the wall to make room for the seats. The chairs have been set up in four rows of six, like an improvised theater or a church. To the side, a small buffet has been set up courtesy of Obi, Mafuyu, and Hild. As for the main event? Two tables have been set up and decorated in black fabric and white flowers. In lieu of a live viewing, two drawings referenced from the profiles have been set up in the center of funeral wreaths... They're not the best, due to the artist's handicaps, but it does look like Adaman and Hodaka at least.]

If something worked once, it will work again -- that is what most people think. I doubt the Mayor is an exception to that.

[So Aiba is pretty sure there will be more motives, welp. The variable is what it will be -- and the only certainty is that it will be cruel]

...yeah.

[Great, thanks, fun talk.]

Do you think there's anything we can do?

[pairtner]

........

[It takes a moment for Aiba to reply, and when she does, it's one word:]

Unknown.

[Welp]

Admitting this...I don't like it, at all, but it's unknown. My function is to assist and aid, especially at times like these, but...I cannot think of a good plan.

I'm sorry, Brett. I truly am.

[Great, fun talk, this one. Geez]

[inaclearing]

...it isn't your fault, Aiba. The rest of us aren't doing any better, either.

[yep, this is uplifting]

[pairtner]

Perhaps I am lacking in experience with trying to provide support. I noticed your state during the trial and thought I should do something, but it hardly did any good.

[Clearly she's not good at this, she wasn't made for this kind of support. Doesn't help she does have pretty glum thoughts about all that happened, so it's kind of futile to try to aid someone else when she's dealing with that.

Uplifting times in the wake of a murder. Oh well, such is the murdergame life]

It's good to talk to someone, at least. I'm not...I've never dealt with things like this well. I don't know if anyone ever does...but I know Luca'd be upset, if he knew I didn't talk to anyone.

[Brett himself would be upset, if he knew...say, Peregrine, was doing the same thing. It's always easier to give advice than to follow it yourself.]
