[ Adolphe is... having mixed feelings, but it's not as rancid as his emotional episode before when he actually murdered someone. Yippee! (This is public knowledge on graveyard chipper)

He spots Claude looking at him.
]

... Hey.

[ Surprisingly normal and not lashing out. ]

[ Adolphe felt the same when Claude was here, which was why he saw his arrival from a distance... it's fine... he gets it. ]

I should be asking you. Weren't you two close?

[ Hm? Adolphe notes Claude's reaction. What's that mean... ]

... As long as they weren't horribly maimed.

[ His standard is on the floor. ]

I thought your reaction would have been stronger, since Yves considered you to be a close friend.

[ Please consider loss week and that's exactly the thing keeping Adolphe not breaking down right now. ]

No.

[ He doesn't look like he wants that. ]

I just thought you'd have more to say.

... I wasn't sure what I expected either.

[ He'll admit that. ]

Will you at least see them when they arrive? They'll be coming in the same place you did.

[ Adolphe has a handful of letters in his hands because he was on his way from getting them out of the mailbox. ]

[ No... even after he killed without an affliction. Heartless would take a different set of actions. ]

Usually Saturday or Sunday. The pattern has been victims coming in on Saturday and whoever dies in execution comes on Sunday. There was a slight delay in the first batch though.

[ aka out tutorials

He looks at the letters in his own hands for a bit.
]

It feels surreal to receive letters from people who'll be here soon.

... I guess so. Just wish it didn't take death to do that.

[ He sighs and puts them away. ]

Probably horrendous too, given the trend of the bodies.

[ Adolphe is pretty much trapped at the Health Center right now, in one of the five beds that are there. He's bandaged up, but he's still cold to the touch as if he's a corpse, but no it's just being dunked into a winter ocean full of ice. His eyes are no longer full of blood, one of them has a gauze over it to heal the partial damage, he's on painkillers... he's being a good patient and not moving! Yippee!

His good eye looks over at Claude, slowly blinking. Yeah, he's up for it.

[ Yeah! Great aesthetics, by the way. But out of sight, out of mind. He looks mostly fine apart from all the bandages and gauzes. He gives a short nod in response to the question.

There's a hologram image that appears. There's a baby with bright blue eyes. The mother is dead, looking like she fell down from the top of stairs and accidentally stabbed herself with the knife when she fell. The maid looks disgusted at the baby.

Yeah.

[ He half shrugs. Adolphe doesn't know, but the group was so endeared by it and wanted to protect it to racism.

We were supposed to kill it, but we didn't know it was a baby until we saw it with our own eyes at the top of the castle.

[ I should be fine s

Did you know when you're done hallucinating on an acid trip and on painkillers and returning from hours of cycle of pain and numbness, that exhausts you mentally? Surprise! Anyway, his thought gets cut off and he grimaces.
