[ as bad as it felt to vote at all, he couldn't begin to express how relieved he is that the vote didn't go to firefly. but he can't get her words out his mind - I... I don't want to die... I didn't want to die. so he's going to give it a bit, to let her have some time to breathe after everything that happened, but then he knocks on her door, voice hoarse as he calls out. ]

Ms. Firefly?

[fightolive]

[ It takes a little bit, but she'll open the door for him. ]

Hello.

[ Can't exactly call any of that good. ]

[outdistanced]

[ it was bad fam. he stares at her for a moment, suddenly finding it hard to speak, and not because of the vines wound around his neck. ]

I... I'm sorry.

[fightolive]

[She doesn't know what kind of sorry that is, and she's just not that good at reading hearts.]

I'm sorry this happened too.

[outdistanced]

It wasn't fair. You should've never been put in a position like that in the first place.

[ being forced to kill to live, and then faced with the possibility of dying anyway because of trial? ]

But I believe you. I just wanted to make sure you knew that.

[fightolive]

[ She looks a little unsure, but it's been a stressful few days. ]

... Thank you, Laurence.

[outdistanced]

[ it's not much to thank him for, but he nods. ]

I just... I don't get it. They kept saying he was trying to improve himself. But he just attacked you out of the blue? He didn't say anything at all?

[fightolive]

No. We didn't talk at all that night.

[outdistanced]

He could've at least said something. I thought he liked talking with how he'd always run his mouth.

[fightolive]

Maybe he was focused on something else...?

[outdistanced]

I don't know. He and I weren't exactly friends. I don't know if he'd really have gone for one of those apples or not.

...They haven't found anything about your illness yet, have they?

[ he's a little worried about how quick some of them were to blame her for acting for an apple based on that. ]

[fightolive]

Not yet, but I've been researching what I can.

[ It's reasonable, isn't it? The sick girl needs a cure and can't find one, tempted by the apples.

An easy conclusion to make. ]

[outdistanced]

There has to be something. Something besides that stupid tree. If I knew anything about that stuff, I'd try to help, but...

[ he's only seventeen he's still in high school level classes ]

[fightolive]

It's okay. It's okay, really. Thank you for the thought.

[Laurence is just a guy and he's really stuck here??]

[outdistanced]

[ he's just a guy who only knows how to run.

the look on his face says he doesn't believe her, not after how her story unfolded during trial. but he doesn't know enough to argue it, either. ]

...At least it's over, for now. You'll still get your second chance to live and go see your friend again.

[fightolive]

[ One day, she'll find a cure. She has to believe in that. ]

Right. [ They'll have a few days of no murder, and then this whole nightmare will repeat. Two weeks down, already. ]
