I'm pleased to meet you too! And yes, Santa.... Well, he's my brother.

[There's not too much family resemblance.]

[golden_dream]

[nods] Is that so? Somehow I figured that. He talked very familiarly about you.

[exequte]

I'm... I'm glad I got to see him again, but I'm still a little worried about him being here.

[golden_dream]

...Ah. You are? Well, he's doing very well, isn't he? He's had the most votes the past few rounds...

[exequte]

He has, yes, but does that really mean he's safe? We have so much more time to go before this game is over, and... Four people have already died. Only one because he didn't have a vote, but doesn't that make it more worrisome? It means there's more than one way to be killed. I don't plan to let anything happen to him, but it worries me anyway.

[golden_dream]

[winces] I know... why was it? Because they tried to escape...?

They really want us here. ...Or maybe they did escape and the clown just told us they were killed.

[pause]

...Just, trying to stay positive.

[exequte]

They said that the first person got killed trying to escape, but the next two for... cheating? I don't understand how you'd cheat at all, here.

I'd like to hope they're all alive, but it seems safer to take them at their word unless it's proven otherwise. They might not be exaggerating.

[golden_dream]

I don't know.

... I'm sorry.

[exequte]

For what?

[golden_dream]

One of those who died... was your friend, right?

[exequte]

[There's a long pause at that, and her eyes drop.]

Oh. Yes. The first one. Seven.

[golden_dream]

Yes...

[trails off]

...My condolences.

[exequte]

... thank you. I didn't know him very well, in comparison to some, but... He was a good man. He was always there to try and help people.

[Like her....]
