Memory: ✯ Mei's hopelessness/WE FUCKED UP (Week 2 Trial, Part 2) Received: Day 193 (Caretaker's traumagame) The Thing: ( with names mysteriously obscured ) A continuation of her previous shard, the second day of the Week 2 Trial.
It becomes pretty quickly apparent that they've all become a little lost, once more. There's no definitive evidence, and a few small mysteries remain unsolved. Although he doesn't seem terribly suspicious by himself, a majority votes for Ian Gallagher on the basis of "not voting for anyone means death." They fail, and ultimately Ian is scapegoated by the real culprit--who goes free, and opts not to retire from the game. On top of it, Aoi Kurashiki dies mysteriously in the voting room, disappearing for a rules infraction. Ian's death, a hanging, rattles Yuyuko and sends her into mild panic, for obvious reasons.
This all, understandably, shakes morale, and literally everyone feels down after this. Although Yuyuko promises to organize Ian's funeral like she did for Kouha, she stops before leaving to talk to Mei Misaki, one of her wing neighbors. Mei has virtually given up all hope, and trying to shake her out of her stupor, the two get into an argument. Yuyuko does her best to reassure Mei, but she strikes a nerve with her parting statement, and two leave on tense terms.
