. . . I don't know.

[he leans into the touch, because while he may not be able to admit to it so readily, he needs the support. he needs something to ground him]

[for. . . a lot of reasons]

[. . .]

Pink trying to get us to play along with their sick game, I'd bet.

[ he will put his arm around akira, then. just like that. ]

What do you think Pink is?

The directors keep telling me they're nothing more than a remnant.

That. . . I don't believe.

[leaning into that .-. dad is warmth and solid and grounding, and he doesn't have to think about all of the fuzzy memories he has trying to compete with the real ones]

But I don't know who they'd be otherwise.

[ dad is solid and real and here for akira!!!! so they can stay like this. ]

Hard to believe when they've taken such an active part of the competition, no? But maybe it's not a who so much as it a what.

[oh. at that, Akira gives Phoenix a curious look]

What do you mean?

Less of a person, more of a manifestation.... or something to that effect.

Ah. . . yeah. That's what I've been gathering these "remnants" and "residuals" are, anyway.

Curious if there's something in this environment that makes them manifest, no?

And how well-defined Pinkie's is, compared to everything else.

I've tried asking that question, too. Winter just told me it was "bad vibes."

[he wishes he knew what the hell "bad vibes" were]

Don't think it's a question they can answer.... at least not yet.

Have you been doing the pink tasks, or abstaining?

I've been doing them. Supposedly there's no consequences for doing them, and we get vouchers to boot. So. . .

[a tiny shrug]

Same here. They haven't been particularly nefarious... yet.

[WAIT UNTIL THE BETRAYAL PROMPT]

Yet.

The moment they ask me to do something I don't want to do, then I'm stopping.

[ irony...... ]

Think they'll probably keep escalating.

. . . yeah. Probably.

[he will boycott murder and backstabbing week]

Suppose we'll find out.
