[The kitchen is usually a safe place where no pain is allowed to happen, besides the odd small cooking accident. Still, if Jane had been cutting something instead of rolling out cookie dough, she'd have nicked herself for sure because holy shit girl you have some incredible lung power.]

Arianna? A-Are you okay? What's wrong?

[daughterofthemark]

Nothing is wrong! Something is right! Look!

[Finally, Shirou and Chloe are talking about Blaze Dudely! It's just what we all needed to see!]

[cyan_maid]

[Jane looks, and








It takes her a moment to process just what she's seeing. Chloe, the girl who was so important to Max, who they just saw get her head blown open...in the Florida simulation with the rest of the dead. Conscious, in some way.

Possible to save.

Jane's mouth falls open, and she goes very, very still.]

It's...this is...is this for real? Is that really...is it her?

[daughterofthemark]

It certainly appears to be.

[This is a much-needed piece of good news and Arianna isn't going to cast doubt on it.
...that, and she hasn't considered the possibility that this might be anything less than 100% real.]

And if she is there, then perhaps the others...

[cyan_maid]

...

[Jane.exe has gone into overdrive]

I - I need to...we need to...t-to find them, maybe their bodies are...maybe they still have them, or they can make the darned things, o-or...i-if they can get their minds into the simulation for real...

[Roxy. They can save Roxy. She can save Roxy.]

[daughterofthemark]

And if this is any indication, the others will be introduced as they die in the "rerun," so ultimately all of them will be in the simulation...

[They can Do Shit that they were Already Gonna Do but now they can do it More]

[cyan_maid]

[they can do mORE OF THE THING]

...I-I...I...

[Can, um. Can you just make sure she doesn't fall over, Arianna? Jane's starting to sway a little bit from the revelation.]

[daughterofthemark]

--Dame Jane?

[Y...yeah, she'll just... take Jane by the shoulder and... guide her toward the couch.]

[cyan_maid]

[Bless you Arianna she is going to have a sit like no one has ever sit before, taking slow breaths and putting a hand to her chest.]

S-Sorry, I just...R-Roxy could be...w-we could save them all, it's r-really possible...

[What a fool she was for doubting, she thinks, but...that's kind of implied. She...doesn't have to say it aloud, right?]

[daughterofthemark]

Hope. There is hope.

[...I mean, Arianna had hope anyway, but that's Arianna.

Would Jane like a hug? Jane is getting a hug.]

[cyan_maid]

[hUG

HUG

Hug.]
