[Alice is first again. She has a copy of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, but she's read the same page five times without taking any of it in.]

[Souji is still missing. Today, Hiroshi and Minako are absent, too. No word on why. This group is getting smaller and smaller. Alice can feel the weight of this strange town bearing down on her. Even if just for a little while, she has to get out of here...]

... I ain't quite worked that out yet.

But trust me. By the time I'm done, Hiroshi's gonna be beggin' everyone ta forgive him and we will and then Minako-chan and Souji-kun'll come back an' everythin'll go back ta normal.

Just wait and see.

So nobody'll be kicked out or nothin and everyone'll be safe and happy again?

[Unconsciously slipping into a thicker Kansai as she feels her nerves tighten in fear.]

[fortunatetoaster]

Yeah. Everythin'll go back ta normal, you'll see.

So, don't get too worried, yeah?

[ohmygah]

[Head pats are nice. Comforting. Non-awful situation-y.]

...Yeah...
