[ Anise may be hard to find after Friday's announcements, but at some point she can be seen at the far end of the lounge, sitting on a couch, curled up in her Nut & Bolt sweats, hugging Tokunaga close to her chest.
When she notices Sora nearby, she quickly rubs her face with her sleeve, but it's easy enough to read the vibes. They're bad! This is bad. ]
I don't get it... How could all of this happen so suddenly?
[Yeah, that's the million dollar question here, really. How did this happen so suddenly...]
I don't know that yet -- but what I do know is that you and the rest of us will have to figure that out ourselves.
[Because Sora doesn't really trust the senior officers to really give them information that hasn't been filtered through the company's protocols. How much can that be trusted, really]
Do you feel capable of facing what might be a harsh truth, Ms Tatlin?
[Sora doesn't suspect yet one of the junior crew is a killer, really, she's saying it in a general manner because no way this was a peaceful passing for either victim. The truth will be ugly, she's sure]
[...you know, something she wants to ask, given what might have been Luke's last thoughts...]
Did you know Mr. Pearce well, Ms. Tatlin?
[Their profile have different homeworlds, she noticed, and it might just be a coincidence the names match, but still, if there's a chance, Sora must ask, really]
[ her expression sobers, and she shakes her head. ]
Not that well... but Luke was my roommate. When we got together to figure out what to do with three of us in a room, he said he'd let us have the place, and he'd stand guard at night instead.
He tried to act all cool, but...
[ there's a distant thought that sounds a lot like stupid, stupid...! ]
If you have ever thought you should have noticed something, try not to blame yourself. In the end you and everyone else did what they could, with what they knew and thought.
[Easy for Sora to say, experienced and a little numb as she is]

Even if the senior crew could give us answers, I think most of us won't be happy unless we see the truth with our own eyes.

[ there's a feeling of certainty there. she's faced harsh truths before. ]
no subject
[She does like that vibe of certainty]
I will avoid making promises, but if I do reach a satisfactory answer, I'll inform you of it. As...a way to try to bring some closure, if you want it.
[Don't lose sleep over it, Sora, the trial will get this done]

... Thank you!
I'll do my best, too. For Luke and Dahut!

[no wonder you died luke this is not how you take care of yourself]

But if he'd just said something to begin with, then maybe we could have helped him more... and then he wouldn't have...

[ but there's still a sense of dissatisfaction. this keeps happening. it shouldn't be like this... ]
... I'll be okay. Thank you, Dean.
[ and she's going to take off and leave! there's an investigation to prepare for, after all. ]
