[He hasn't really known what to do with himself for most of the day - either running around with other people on missions, or trying to busy himself doing literally anything that feels vaguely helpful. It's fucking awful here, and he knew it would be, but this is . . . something else entirely.
If Nikki comes across his path, he'll stop at least. Pausing in his pacing of the house.]
[She is, at least, no longer barefoot and in her pajamas like she was during the body announcement - but now she's in a mourning dress, which is pretty impractical. But, you know... when all your problems in the past are generally solved by an outfit change, you can't help but want to put on fancy clothes.
Or something.
She pauses when Lio addresses her, and after a moment, she shakes her head.]
I just... I don't understand why this had to happen.
[He doesn't really know how to do comfort very well - there are other Burnish that were better at that part. Taking in people who were upset or angry or frightened. He knows words only go so far.]
I have every intention of leaving this place, and leaving no one behind.
It's strange to think they've managed to keep us locked up in here for a week.
[Or at least... she thinks it's been a week. Without being able to go outside, it's hard to really mark the passage of time - especially when they've all begun losing some sense or another. Can they really trust the senses they've been left with?
...she wasn't too bothered by all of this earlier in the week, but it's all weighing on her now.]

If they mean to scare us, they haven't made their intent clear. I don't see the point. [But.] It was cruel.

[There's no point in frightening them into compliance when they're already (mostly) complying.]
...and she was... very kind. She shouldn't have...
[Her voice trails off and she looks down at her hands.]
This isn't fair.

You are right. It isn't fair.
