[The sword flickers again, which probably means yes.
The image changes suddenly. It's of Red, but her cocktail dress is ripped to above her knees, and she's wearing a coat she didn't have before. She's holding the sword, but her grip is clumsy and her hands are shaking from the effort. It looks like she's never held a sword in her life.
Her eyes are red and puffy from crying, and her face is full of fear as she faces down a horrible monster.
Three sentences trail over the image, after Mitsuru has had time to study it:]
But that's all Mitsuru will get for now. A fair trade, given how Red knows so much of Mitsuru's past and all. The sword goes back to its usual state after that.]

I can't do this.
I'm not strong enough.
But if I don't, I'll die.

Date: 2018-06-13 06:09 am (UTC)She also goes from 'dead asleep' to 'awake and ready to go' in like five seconds flat too. By the time Mitsuru pokes her, she's already sitting up.]
Where-
[And then she realizes where she is, and who is there, and she looks a little flustered.]
...my apologies.

Date: 2018-06-13 06:12 am (UTC)Yeah.
Good thing he didn't try to kill her.]
Sleeping out here doesn't seem especially safe.

...
They got put in a corner for misbehaving.

You really don't want the camp population to drop below ten before week seven.
[That's the only hint he will get.]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-14 05:19 am (UTC)...That would be the point of no return.
[A statement. So she can answer as little or as much as she can.]
