[...there's a soft laugh because that's not the answer he expected and yet it is.] The only way to really kill them was to rip them apart or a headshot. But their teeth and claws were pretty nasty.
From what I'm understanding, yeah. I remember Tamamo, Izuminokami and Grune all saw a vision involving a ritual circle like ours. A woman with short hair stabbed a woman with long hair while she was trying to revive a man. The short-haired woman used the corpse of the long-haired one to try and summon something...she was reading out of a book, and her arm was ripped apart. It's not a guarantee they're the same people, but if the long-haired woman was Neena, whose body gave out, and the woman was Hazel who then went to find April instead...[He shakes his head.] It's speculation at best.
[...but he does look openly worried.] I've...been wondering the same. If it does wear off, how do we...do you think maybe the ritual's meant to bring them back entirely and banish whatever's on this ship?
Right. Or there's that. [It's fine, he's just going to completely bypass the idea that Carlos and the others may have to stay perma-dead. Haha. That's a later problem.]
The documents mentioned some kind of medicine and stuff, too. Plus there's one more room behind the morgue that we couldn't get into. There might be something there we can use. [...] Do you think they really knew there was a way to save everyone? Or were they just feeling optimistic?
At least the others found Polly so that's one problem solved. Now we just have to figure out how to make sure the rest of them don't disappear somewhere else. [He takes a sip of his coffee to give himself time to think.]
Chuuya's sort of of the opinion that they're guides and they'll figure things out. Carlos was still trying to understand everything he learned and I haven't really found the right way to ask him since. Maybe the lack of progress is just a warning.
From what I've heard, Polly was punished because she told one of the roles under her about being gifted the role early. So there's something else out there that's capable of punishing our hosts, too.
...sounds like she was doing what the rest of us are. Trying to help and not knowing how it'll go. [But...there's a low, discontent noise.] We've made some progress but not the amount we need. It's been thirty-nine days. You'd think we'd be better at this by now instead of continuing to succeed by the skin of our teeth.
Correct. She told Shiraishi's replacement on Sunday, to ensure that we would be able to meet together this week. That is why I felt there was something she wanted us to accomplish together. But...I'm afraid that it's possible we've failed at that, too.

[Bluntly. She knows Junpei cares what happens to them, or at least Carlos, and she doesn't not care, but...]
I don't know. Those four seemed confident at the start there was at least a method to save everyone, themselves included.

Do you understand why Polly did what she did?

...if Polly was missing, how did your meeting go? Did you guys just work together on your own?
