graveyard.
 You remember dying. In fact, you remember the exact feeling and fear of how you died, and yet in the next moment, you're suddenly standing in a cold room. You're not sure how you got here at all, but it's as if you were suddenly put here the moment after you died. As you look around, the first thing you'll notice is that you're standing in front of an open casket. And you're inside. The corpse inside the casket is definitely you, and it's also definitely dead, which certainly makes this confusing. Luckily, here's someone here to explain. When you wake up, there's footsteps walking closer, and then a familiar face appears. Iván is here, or someone that looks very much like her is. All she starts off with is two simple words— "You're dead." Which would seem obvious, but she explains that you have been before you ever arrived to the island. The shipwreck and the island are't real, after all. This is purgatory, and the Hunt is a way to judge the souls of the living. People show their true nature when they're put in a stressful situation, so it was deemed that this was the way that these judgements would be passed. She explains that you'll know your fate when the game ends, but if you really can't wait that long, you could always ask, but hope isn't lost. After all, the "killers" are on your side. If they can win the game, then everyone can come back to life. They know this, and it's why they're fighting so hard to win. It's a shame that the odds don't seem to be in their favor, but that's also part of the Hunt. Exploring your new surroundings, you'll realize that you're likely at the bottom of that giant sinkhole, at least if that light far above you is any indication. You no longer feel the need to eat or sleep anymore (technically, you never did, but the habits of being alive are hard to break), so it's a good thing there's enough to do while the game continues. You can watch the proceedings of the Hunt in one room where there's plenty of comfortable couches to sit in and lounge, as well as a fully stocked bar, if you feel like indulging. Another room offers a game room with cards, billiards, and any other games you'd like to play in a group. If you ask your host nicely, she might provide more, but for now, there's not much to do other than to watch and wait for the Hunt to end. |

I know who Kashuu is. [She even remembers his name.] ... Yeah, I know. They're all upset with me, I'm the first one they've been able to yell at properly. We've known all this time that until they learn the truth they're going to hate us so... I decided to just smile through it.
[She really likes them all, after all. It hurt a little.]
... You're welcome. I'm sorry you had to see him looking like that and that everyone blamed you. I thought it was kind of unfair, when it was obvious you were just grieving him, but in the end...
[It might have been better than the alternative. Sorry, Yamato, you had to die!]

[ UGH GI-NE PLEASE REMAIN A GOOD NOODLE, I like to remember the days when I was alive and carrying heads around. ]
It's fine because seeing him here makes me realize that he'll always be okay, no matter what. I was happy to see him in one piece, you know? He is my comrade. [ He had even missed him but!! ] I don't blame you for anything that happened, you did everything you could to help us..

[Since she knew she was already dead... Don't worry, she'll stay a good noodle.]
I'm glad you two can be together again. [In two separate but whole pieces. No decapitated heads.] I wish I could keep fighting, but it's nice to see all you guys are mostly okay.
