“Keep going, I’ll distract them.” Ihor looks back at you. “Don’t forget, it’s half.” Ihor starts running away into the guards’ direction.
God damn it… GOD DAMN IT! Why are you so distracted!? You failed for the 3rd time… What’s going on?! Ever since that damn Orphanage of the Blue, things have—
“Kobashi, move. Don’t think. Move.” Vanessa grabs your shoulder and pushes you onto the rope. She threw the hook while you were pitying yourself.
Instead of mumbling your words, you start climbing as fast as your long limbs allow you to, Vanessa is following you behind. At the top of the wall, you look down to see how Ihor is fairing… and they’re taking him away, it seems he got beaten up a bit. You want to believe he’ll find a way out of this, he’s working for Qiao Ning, he can pin this as a misunderstanding.
…
You hand Vanessa the Spiritism Cube Phone. You’ll hold yours…
“We’ll use this to communicate. Okay?” You concentrate to keep the message simple. You’re not screwing up again. Not anymore.
“Yes… —The hook! – I forg— How could I?— Why did I think Kobashi had this? I should’ve said something – it’s my fault – Ihor – all my fault – Is he hurt?— I’m sorry – apologies – if only I paid more attention – I’m sor— I’m ready.” Vanessa’s thoughts are a mess.
There’s no one around. You could go through the wall’s roof onto the stairs. There’s only people guarding the entrance to the Building below, and you don’t think they’ll notice you due to the height discrepancy. The Actual Temple, the place you want to go, looks unprotected. Not even one guard at the entrance door.
>>What do you do?>Continue your path to the Temple. You need to get this job done for Ihor.>Split. Ask Vanessa to find a way to help Ihor, while you get to the temple.>Go back and help Ihor. You won’t leave anyone behind!>Write In.(Last Reply of the Day, we continue tomorrow!)
