WEEK SIX

16 Vacationers

Throughout your time on the island, there's been a steady rhythm; the murders, the trials, the executions, the clean-up afterwards that leave just up remnants for you to remember what was lost. This Monday morning though, things are different. The debris and any biohazards are cleared, but no effort has been made to repair the games at the arcade, or to restock the chemicals and damaged equipment at the laboratory.

Odd.

If you cast your eyes to the sky, you'll also notice that the distortion is also lingering—there's certainly less of it at least, a haze still lingering over the go-karts, one whirlpool lingering out in the sea. It could be worse, surely.

Though there's no new locations for you to take your mind off of all these oddities either. In fact, looking at your device to access the resort map area and scrolling past Kakapo's Nest triggers an error.

There’s one more, slightly more eclectic change: the kittybots, instead of having cute kitty ears and faces, are now without exception round-headed. This would make them look like ordinary robots, but their heads actually now look like a bowl of fish swimming, which occasionally form up into expressions. A change of pace for everything, it seems.

Oh? A gift for moi? You really are much too thoughtful!

[...But his answer comes to him naturally, much to the disappointment of everyone, probably.]

I have an archive to rebuild! For that, I require no small amount of conques, but take heart, chère! There is no shortage of them available on the beach. As it happens, there is no such thing as too many conques, so by all means, go wild!

[idologue]

[ Unfortunately for everyone, Lacus just laughs at that. Of course. He never changes. ]

That's right. There are still sounds to record - I am sure the whole world is full of something new to hear and discover!

[ These are things that she said to Wang Lu when she was in mourning. When she thought he was dead and gone forever, so he gave her a blank conch shell to remember Lobelia by.

There's a whole world of noise! And surely, surely, death is not the only option that could have fulfilled Lobelia! ]

There would be no greater honor for me than to contribute to your first archiving steps in your new life as a happy man.

And I like taking walks on the beach, anyway.

[ It's like all she does for half the day. ]

[conchy]

Oui! Oui! Only you understand me, Chère!

[Sound is so useful! It can capture memories, soothe the heart, and even cause grievous bodily harm. Lobelia can't for the life of him understand why anyone would take issue with his methods.]

Of course, I have always been fond of taking walks along the shoreline. I would often do so with Maman and Papa. Those days have long since passed, but they are among my most cherished memories.

[everyone again: but lobelia, didn't you kill your parents

lobelia: ANYWAY,]

[idologue]

[ The whole parent thing is... more sad than anything else to Lacus, at this point. She understands looking at it as a mark of Lobelia's unimaginable cruelty and she doesn't think she'd try to change someone's mind about it, but there is so much adoration in his voice every time he brings up Maman and Papa...

Lacus can't help but think of her own parents even now, of the lessons they bestowed on her. ]

I hope that in the future you can cherish some memories of this beach as well - I'll make sure that you can carry it with you, at the least.

[ After a moment: ] But I'm not returning the empty conque you once gave to Wang Lu. That'll join your message conque as a memento for me.

[conchy]

[Ah... That prompts a bit of laughter on the other side.]

But of course, mon chère. I would never dream of taking something from you that holds such value in your heart.

It is often that such mementos are all we have left of the dearly departed. Make no mistake: I intend to return, but I was prepared for this death of mine to be la fin. All the same, I do hope you'll take that memento home with you as a reminder of our friendship!
