Day 16
TSUMUGI, DAZAI, NILES
TSUMUGI
I don't know if you hear that often. You always struck me as someone kind of meek and uncertain, you know? Someone really weak on the outside. I don't know why that is. But whatever the reason, I just want you to understand that there's definitely a flicker of something more underneath all of that. You're pretty amazing, Tsumugi.
And I really hope that one day, you can realize that, too.

Either way? Keep your chin up, Tsumugi. We're not done on this side just yet. And I'm not about to give up on you guys.
- Akira.
DAZAI
I could tell from our conversation that you were going to plan something with someone. I really could. I wanted to press more, but you kept directing the conversation back to Akechi, and I couldn't deny that your concerns on that front were valid.
But I wish I had been a little more stubborn with you. A little more forceful. I don't know. Maybe I could've said something to change your mind? Or maybe there was just no getting through that thick head of yours. At least, not by myself. Maybe with Rin and Ichigo's help, but considering you LOCKED ME IN A CLOSET, getting to them was an impossibility.
But I can't dwell on what ifs or what could have beens. I can only keep going forward, right?
I think a lot about what you told me in our first few days here. About how you said that I can't save everyone. Back then, I knew in my heart that you were right. That thought was pretty suffocating. I'm a realist, but I always want to try to strive for the best ending achievable. I guess I'm just stubborn that way. Incapable of adapting, as Graham put it. As you even put it, once or twice. That makes me pretty unsuitable for games like this one.
But now? I know that you were wrong.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Take care, Dazai. I'm going to keep looking alive. And I promise you I'm going to start thinking smarter, not harder.
- Akira
P.S. How did you know about me and Ichigo? Were we that obvious?
FUTAYO
Erika is kind of a tough one to understand, you know? I figured that out pretty quickly. She's harsh and blunt and kind of snobby, but underneath that, she's afraid of letting people get close to her. I talked to her after your confession, to make sure she hadn't manipulated you into killing. And although she was insistent about calling you just "her assistant," I could tell there was more to it.
I think Erika considered you a friend, too. As much as she can consider anyone "a friend." I think she'll miss you a lot.
But like I said, this isn't goodbye. I'll see you again, okay? Take care.
- Akira.

CAIUS
...I kind of knew it was under there, anyway, I just didn't want to look. I guess it was me being selfish, wanting to spend more time with you?
I bet you have a real princess back home anyway butYou're pretty coolActually I'm mad at you but it's probably boring and if I was less selfish and thinking more about you instead of thinking about you and me you might not be dead right now!I can get why Tsumugi couldn't go on but you were always really strong and reliable
I actually looked at the rules and did the stupid math because just not looking at it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If I survive three more nights, I'll win, and get to go home, and go back to saving the world. There's a bunch of other scouts doing the same thing, though, we get more all the time so I could totally leave to become an idol or get killed by ugly bears if I wanted to. I don't want to, though.
Did you actually want to die or were you so mad you didn't even care? I died when I was 14 and it was kind of like that, there was something I had to make happen, so I did, and I got torn up doing it but I still won. I came back, obv, so maybe it was borrowed time? I didn't get a last kiss from my crush then, either.
If I'd kissed you after allI'm going to live just so you can't call me out on any of this. Unless I don't in which case forget it, burn this letter, can you even burn letters twice? Don't rip it up that's rude. Eat it or something, like a goat. I'm supposed to be a hero, so there are some people I'm putting ahead of myself. If I can't protect them, I'll quit the Sailors. I can't be a hero if I can't protect anyone, after all.
Wish me luck!
NISKA
NILES
I want to believe it's really you on the other side talking to us, so I'm hopeful this will make it to you.
Considering our last exchange, I'm not quite sure how to properly start this. I'm sorry. But just wanted to reach to you somehow.
I hope there is someone there with you. I hate that you might be lonely over there. I hate that I let you leave feeling like you were alone; I always will, I'm afraid.
Using the bow and arrows have been an experience. While my skills are not much to be desired, I felt just a little bit closer to you. Even if just a little bit. It might be why I still wanted to use them since then.
In the mean time. I'll keep trying to survive. I feel like it's the least I can do for you, who I didn't protect properly.
I never did get to ask you what you were going to when you returned those nights we got to be together, did we? If I can make it out of here and go home... I will be best I can be to the you in my timeline. You deserve the best, after all. I thought that even before we ended up here.
.... [there looked like a squiggle on the paper, like he was starting to write the sentence ('I lo-') but then stopped. It was lined out and then. he decides to just write it, after all. Next paragraph:]
Because I love you and it doesn't matter if it's the same or not on your end. I miss you. I'll try to write again if you'd have me.
-Corrin
Day 18
TSUMUGI
I messed up real bad but I owe you especially the biggest apology I've got. Here I was yelling about how ready I was to electrocute your killer myself when Will was like my best godsdamned pal at the time. I don't know how legitimate the dead recycling or the fire thing is honestly and I feel kind of silly writing this at all? But man if you actually are watching us all being loud and stupid it must have SUCKED to see me stick up for that psycho.
Anyway it doesn't really make up for it and I swear I'll go apologize to your friend too even though that doesn't really help either but I just want you to know I know I was stupid and I'm sorry. For a lot.
At home we bury our dead in the ground to put them in the arms of the Earth Mother where she may always provide for them and keep them safe and content. Whatever that kind of peace would mean for you, I hope you're allowed to find it.
- Mae
NILES
I said I'd write again, didn't I?
...You normally had something to say the past days. I haven't seen a thing from you the past day. I will admit I am getting a little worried and hope you're well. I would say leave us anything to clear my concerns, even if it's to ridicule me, but that....As well as one can be wherever you may be.
I hope you look after Ichigo over there for us all who worry for him even now. Perhaps you might have worried about him, too?
Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but I want to think I'm getting a little better at this handling bow and arrow thing. I regret not asking you sooner to ever show me. Maybe... When I get home, if I make it.
I don't know what will happen from here anymore. I've honestly lost the energy to try to understand what's happening anymore. I just know I will try to survive, like I said before. I won't roll over and allow death if that's your concern.
...Hope to write again. And that this ends soon.
AKIRA
I've come to still like you even after that trial. I wanted to protect you on Ichigo's behalf if ever needed. That's why... Like Niles, I was taken aback that the culprit had to be you. I didn't want to believe it was you.
But like you did with Niles' trial, I will admit, I did what was right for that trial. I'm still sorry that I had to be part of why you were executed. Look after Rin and Ichigo for us here, because it looks like it'll only be you and the others over there, if they are with you.
Thank you for making that deal, no matter what ends up happening in the end. You gave everyone one the biggest helps you could have given. In the mean time, I will try to look after anyone you care for here.
I will try to write again.
ICHIGO
Niles is far from being a fragile person, so I know he's not needing of protection but... I hope you still will keep him company for the both of us. Look after him for us both, won't you? I trust you the most to be able to do that. I want to hope he will not be lonely, wherever you guys may be.
...I'm sorry that happened. We'll end this soon.
Day 20
I guess it won't even be that bad if I'm the one executed tomorrow, a wholesome and pretty heroine like me never gets to play the villain, and that way I won't have to get my dream from these rubbish raccoons, it's totally something I could do anyway, because I'm Minako Aino and I've got true star power! What I want is - I don't wanna risk anything by giving it away but Hiyori knows what it is even if I've never said it. It's a totally selfish wish, and that means it's mine, so I don't want Raquelle's grubby paws in it. So that's why future-me quits it early and becomes a cool mentor type, I bet.
But I did kill someone for it, even if it wasn't a real murder if you ask either of us, so I'm not going to throw it away, either? Grim, you'd probably be mad at me if I wasted it anyway, you're totally the practical type, I'll write at least one song about you, I don't know what the music scene is like in your country but it'll be a good song. Getting a haircut after a big change or heartbreak is a classic, what if I cut it up into a mohawk and went punk rock?
Ichigo you know how if you make a sour face it sticks that way? I bet that's even worse as a ghost since you're all feelings and no fleshy bits so maybe sound like that less, you'll come back as some kind of bloodstained bride who strangles happy couples, that always happens when you die at your own wedding. The good news is that I've seen Ghostbusters and ghosts can totally have sex, there's this whole blowjob scene, AKIRA PLEASE DO WHAT YOU'VE GOTTA AND EXORCISE ALL THE GLOOM OUT OF THIS RESTLESS SPIRIT
I'm still mad at you tho, actually mad at like the last seven people who died minus the one who was totally my fault, couldn't one of you stay and keep me company, Kaiba is my best friend now and this is the most tragic thing that has ever happened to me, if you made him two feet shorter and gave him thick glasses he'd be that one dweeb in school who everyone picks on and god help me if I stay here any longer I'll end up playing Dungeons and Dragons which is probably not a sex thing or a murder ritual but I'm not necessarily ruling it out if it is.
Man all the cool people are over there now, [ heavily crossed out sentence ] but I can still keep entertaining you all! I found a puzzle book in the library with stuff like that gory house puzzle, I'm not burning the whole thing because I've got a limit on stuff I can burn BUT I can copy one of them down and replace the names to make it more interesting.
Oh no! Everyone's fun, colorful personal items have gotten mixed up at a party. Match the toys everyone bought to their original owners.
1. Tako the Tentacle isn't 9 inches long.
2. The toy in Last Son colors is 2 inches longer than the toy in Sweet Seranade colors.
3. Bumble Hooves is either Niles' toy or the Sinister Pumpkin colored toy
4. Of the Enchanted Apple colored toy and Bumble Hooves, one is 15 inches long and one is owned by Akira.
5. Lenneth "Ridgeback" and the Sinister Pumpkin colored toy are two different items and neither of them are Corrin's.
6. Niles owns the 13 inch toy.
7. Winston's tongue is either Corrin's or Ichigo's.
8. Rin's toy is two inches shorter than Lenneth "Ridgeback".
9. Rin doesn't own Winston's tongue.
10. Ichigo's toy is in Last Son colors.
11. Ichigo doesn't own Winston's Tongue.
Also there's a toy called Bruiser in the grid but it's not in any of the hints. It's illustrated but I'm not going that far, I won't half-ass it and I spent all morning scrubbing glitter off my hands already. Maybe I should've grabbed a plain weapon like Caius did? fyi Caius you're not in the puzzle because you'd have to get way bigger to compete with ~*~your sword~*~, I know how you are about that thing
Speaking of weird animal goop, the answer to Erika's puzzle is that a Spiderman did it and then webslung away.
