( EXECUTION - WEEK 1 )

[abhoth]

Unlike the previous day, those who are asleep past 8:00 AM will experience no pain as they're roused awake. Instead, they're pulled from their sleep peacefully, almost as if enveloped in a mother's loving embrace. A comfortable warmth spreads through their body as they open their eyes, finding themselves free of any grogginess or disorientation. Similarly, those who woke up early or were unable to sleep at all will find themselves alert and ready to take on the day. Considering what is about to transpire, however... no one would be blamed for wishing they could stay asleep. "Good morning. My staff and I hope you were able to sleep well. As promised, an execution will take place on this fine day. Please make your way to the Dining Hall. A member of our distinguished staff will be waiting for you with a summary of last night's results." Just like the previous day, residents who do not make their way to the Dining Hall before 8:15 AM will be forcibly escorted out of their rooms (or wherever else they may be). True to Craftly's words, one of the faceless men will be waiting in the Dining Hall while all the current survivors gather. Once everyone is there, with the exception of Hana Song, the staff member will slip a transparency into the projector, switching the device on to reveal what appears to be a telegram.

Then don't look.

[ his grip tightens slightly, not enough to remotely hurt but just enough so she's aware he isn't going to let her attempt to get past the faceless men. ]

This is bad enough. She's in pain, and the longer we delay it by fighting, the longer she's going to hurt.

[thawedheart]

[She considers struggling, for a moment. Her hand clenches into a fist and she goes tense, like she might try to make a break for it and run -

But then her shoulders slump, and she goes still. Her eyes are still locked on Hana suspended over the cauldron, on Light at the controls.]

...it's too cruel...

[But she's watching. She's watching, because with her vote she played a role in consigning Hana to this fate, and it would be unfair to shut her eyes to it now.]

[ninjay]

[ he doesn't let go of her, but he does loosen his grip back to how it was when he originally grabbed on. ]

I know, Yukina. It is. [ his voice still has that strained tone to it, like he's having difficulty keeping it as even as it normally is as he watches. ]

[thawedheart]

[this is THE WORST but at least they both have a buddy to watch this with as Light finally starts to lower Hana down into the boiling liquid

Yukina gags a little, her hands over her mouth, but she doesn't actually puke since she hasn't eaten since the day before, during the trial. Small mercies.]

[ninjay]

[ his hand slowly, slowly drops from yukina's arm as he watches hana sink into the water. his expression is disgusted, angry, and yukina can probably hear him muttering under his breath. ]

They're going to pay for this later.

[thawedheart]

...yes.

[Slowly, she brings her hands down from her mouth. She's clenching her hands into fists so tightly that her knuckles are stark-white.]

They will not get away with this.
