[But #akiracrimes have been laid to rest, so he will leave it at that. Instead, he takes a sip from his coffee before reaching for the skull and pocketing it. His skull now.]
... We have no idea what to expect tomorrow. Are you prepared?
[Well, it's not like there's a legitimate way to answer when they don't even know what the hell awaits them tomorrow.]
... She said many things that were later proven to be wrong, Akira. For example, just last week she claimed the house had no interest in destroying them because it saw them as lowly pets. [Which was, haha. A fun thing to hear.] Clearly, the situation has changed.
[For the worst, unfortunately. He stares down at his coffee as well, before adding:]
The house currently holds a piece of our souls. Have you thought about the implications?
Now, we must consider what that may mean for us once we personally face the mansion. What degree of control will it hold over us? Have we made it more powerful as a result of our indiscretions? The consequences of our actions may be more severe than we initially thought.
[Like, haha... Just a thought. What if the extra pieces of soul is what gave the mansion enough power to kill the sisters? That's fun.]
[a small, aggravated sigh. looks like they're even on the "wasting useful resources" front]
I still think we should use it to sever the connection between Blue and the house, but we might also be able to use it to sever the house's hold on our souls.
I don't know how, exactly, but-- it's just a thought.
Mm, I spoke to Master Blue about all possible outcomes. From what I understood, freeing them will lead to the best possible outcome. If we're lucky, our freedom will come as a consequence of saving them. If not...
[Hrm...]
Then, at least we will have weakened the house enough to spare our worlds.

[at the sudden shift in subject matter, Akira's amused smile fades. his brow furrows, gaze flickering down to his coffee]
. . .
You know. . . Plum once told me that she and her sisters couldn't die.
Or, at the very least, they were very difficult to kill.

[his expression twists]
Pets.
[he repeats, a sharp note in the word, gaze narrowing as he says it]
. . . and yes, I have. I was hoping we'd find a way to retrieve them during our journey through that room, but. . .
