YOU DID IT

Well done, vacationers! Though you're all supposed to just rest and relax, you put on your detective hats and solved the murder correctly! Agatha Christie would be so proud. We're certain our first victim would be pleased, too, if only he could see you all now . . .

But hey, at least someone's proud of you! "Great job, guys, you did it. You figured it out." Her voice is surely not dripping with sarcasm; that's completely genuine praise she's offering. "Yeah!" Brasco adds, and it's a lot more genuine. "Some people train for years to solve murders like this. Pretty damn good."

Now it's time to say your goodbyes. Don't worry, it won't be forever. We're certain she'll be fine in her little cell, won't she? Off to the side, Brasco and Thug wait to take her away, but they're nice enough to give you all some time together. Don't try anything, though. They're tougher than they look.

[Well, she eyes the two men to the side. Of course she could fight them but she's lost all will power at this point. With a bitter smile, she looks down at the table...

...and her stomach growls.]

I'm hungry...

[...right. She devoured all that and she's still hungry. Maybe it's nerves, maybe it's the guilt, but all she wants to do right now is eat.]

Do I get a final meal?

[brasco]

I told you, we're not going to hurt you. You'll eat plenty in guilty-nun-jail-- believe me, Thug'll be pleased to have a captive audience.

[Get it? Captive . . . audience . . .]

[snackhabit]

Can I still have a meal now?

[....Goddess help her. She killed a man, was just put on trial for it, found out she killed someone's family here and yes...

...she wants food.]

[secretingredients]

Uhhh, yeah, definitely!

[ Is that okay? Feeding a murderer? ]

What do you want to eat? I made sandwiches for everybody, but I take requests!

[snackhabit]

Anything is good. If you want me to make me another sandwich I would appreciate it.

[I'm just... done... Goddammit, Ries.]

[secretingredients]

Sure! Do you want anything special in it? Besides like, ham and whatever...

[ Oh boy, someone to test his cooking on... You're gonna have a fun time in jail, Ries. ]

[brasco]

Come on, man, she just murdered somebody.

[secretingredients]

I mean, yeah, but we're not gonna let her starve.

[codeofmisconduct]

...

[Last words huh... Well. About what she said earlier--]

Disregarding what you've done and what you are, the kind of person you are-- I believe that you won't forget.

[Even if he can't forgive, he can't condemn either.]

...that said, I hope that Kevin waits for you, however long it takes.

[snackhabit]

If you're going to hope for anything, please hope that Kevin finds his way out of his personal Gehenna... and finds a way to forgive himself.

[She understands that he can't forgive her. Ries is a kind and caring soul, so she forgives easily... as easily as she murders, it seems, but still... she understands.]

All I ask for is that he can sincerely smile again like he used to.

[codeofmisconduct]

[Arai nods. He understands. Even now she puts him first. For all the times he'd wished he'd done that-- the least he can do is give that hope back for someone who needs it-- for someone it's not too late for.]

...I sincerely hope that he does.

[snackhabit]

Thank you.

[She won't run away from this, but she's glad... she's glad she could talk about this.]

[commemoration]

[Yumemi approaches. While the vote took place, she's found something that the other girl can use to dry her eyes now, and wishes to offer it to her. It's the least she could do, right?]

[snackhabit]

You don't need to be kind to me, you know?

[What a cute... thing she is. Wanting to believe in her and believe in everyone. Reminds her of a naive girl she met, but that naive girl believed in Kevin so... she can't discredit that.]

But thank you.

[She'll take it anyway.]

[commemoration]

... You did something wrong and I can not approve of that. But I don't hate you for it. I wish I had gotten to know you a little more, as well as Mr. Kido...

[There's a pause, before she smiles a little sadly.]

I'm sorry. I am only a bargain model, so I can't cry like the newer model of robots can. But I think I would at having to say goodbye now, if I was able to.

[snackhabit]

Don't cry for me please.

[She chuckles a bit.]

Save them for someone who you care for if you can ever produce them.

[commemoration]

I don't think I'll be able to produce them myself, as I've never been able to cry before...

But I will take your words into consideration.

[thatdarkmage]

[ Man he had been hoping something explosive would happen, but nope!

He'll just kick back and watch whatever happens, then.

Smiling just a little when the lady has the nerve to ask for food. ]

[snackhabit]

[If she has the nerve to kill, she has the nerve to ask for food.

Ries is Ries is Ries.]

[princesstarshine]

Don't come complaining to me when the Krampus kills you guys because you didn't listen to my warning.

[thatdarkmage]

[ ???? ]

You're going to throw this Krampus guy at us because someone killed?

[ Does he have that right. ]

[princesstarshine]

Dude, I don't control the Krampus.

[acherontiastyx]

...what is a Krampus, anyway. I don't think we have those where I come from. Just, like, Delibirds that might leave you exploding presents instead of actual presents.

[princesstarshine]

Uh, hm, lemme try and put this in terms you understand. Do you guys have Abomasnow?

[acherontiastyx]

Oh, like, we don't have 'em in Alola, but I think I kinda get where you're going. Alright. It's some kinda really angry Abomasnow then.
