Everyone (besides one newbie) should know how things work by now: you leave your respective puzzle rooms, head downstairs to the first floor, swipe your Ambidex Room cards, and enter your elevator. Now, this is where it gets different, because here's your prizes for this round!

For anyone who chooses Betray, and gets betrayed in return, well you get a nice can of food! What kind inside? That's a surprise! Oh, and 15 coins for each person.

As for anyone who chooses Betray and their opponent chooses Ally, well, the reward is always much bigger! Calhoun toss in three cans of food, for those poor saps who don't have access to the cafeteria yet, and along with 50 whole coins, each for a PAIR! Amazing! That just might be enough to put some of you in a nice comfy spot where you can start buying food or amazing goodies in Calhoun's Corner: Sundries and Collectibles for the Discerning Test Subject. Isn't that just great?

For anyone who chooses Ally, well, if your opponent chooses Ally as well, then you'll just get the usual BP increase. How boring, but at least you can be all lovely-dovely with each other.

If you're the poor sap that chose Ally and got stabbed in the back, well, sorry, you only lose BP, but you might get a little something. He'll find you later about that.

But anyway, happy voting! Calhoun will see all of you later with the results.

"Sure, intense is one word for it." At the mention of the sickness, however, he frowned a little. "I don't know. I guess you could say Kariya was just a kid, and Colette was kinda delicate. But Aoi seemed pretty full of energy, and Kaburagi-han wasn't that old."

He sure would trade Enjolras for the others any day of the week, though.

Hershel paused a moment before his tone softened. "Heiji, I meant to ask, are you alright? I know I saw you and Colette around sometimes." He wasn't sure if they were close but they seemed closer than Heiji was with the other people who left, besides Akiko but that was a whole other matter. It had to hurt to see her go if he was.

"Aoi surprised me the most, yes, she seemed too energetic to suddenly succumb to something like this."

"...She was a real sweetheart," said Heiji, which was not actually an answer but in a way it sort of was. "She ain't deserve to have that happen to her, and I really hope she's okay."

There was no real way of telling, though, and after this long after Kotetsu had first come down with the illness, one had to be realistic...

Hershel watched him sadly for a moment- he liked Colette, she was a kind girl, but it did really seem like Heiji had taken a real shine to her. Again he wasn't much for physical contact but Heiji was a bit of an exception, so Hershel placed a hand on his shoulder, squeezed and offered a smile.

"If Mr. Enjolras came back there's still hope. We'll just have to do our best to find a way to help her if we can." He tried, and in a way he really did believe it somewhat at least. It was no use doing anything other than pushing forward and trying their best while any sliver of hope still remained. Enjolras coming back had to mean something, right? That it wasn't just a death sentence like he originally feared.

After a moment, Heiji reached up and put his hand on Hershel's opposite shoulder, then nodded. "Yeah, I know. You're right."

Which didn't really make the situation all that much better, but certainly there was no way that they could know if the people who had been removed were all right or not, so... sliver of hope, go?

"Kinda worried about how Clive's gonna react when he finds out about Aoi, too."

Better than hopeless despair, at least. Hershel smiled and let his hand drop, his expression with it when Clive was brought up.

"Yes... he and Aoi were certainly close." This was so rough, god damn. Maybe he'd try talking to Clive again after he woke up, maybe Clive would listen now. He shook his head. "I'm worried about his mental state, he's... been having a very rough time. and if he doesn't make it to nine BP by the end of these rooms...}

Heiji, however, did not drop his hand and instead moved in for one of those patented Shounen Side Hugs.

"Hey, it'll be okay! He'll get those remaining BP for sure -- bad luck never lasts forever, and we'll make sure he pulls through till then."

Heiji, the greatest shounen hero. It probably says a lot that Hershel doesn't seem too surprised or uncomfortable, he's gotten used to it. Friendship shounen side hugs weren't so bad, he's on his way to being a real anime protag.

"R-right, maybe he'll be willing to listen to me when he wakes up too." He looked a little determined. "I'm going to try talking to him again, Heiji, I think- well, just this time maybe he'll see I didn't want to betray him."

Um... GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, BRO. Even Heiji looked a little unsure, but hey, solidarity right.

He nodded. "It's worth a try, and you guys knew each other beforehand, right? I'm sure you'll be able to work things out ~~someday~~."

He could dream the impossible dream, okay? He looked determined still, at least.

"Yes, then it's settled." Yeah rah rah friendship this was probably going to be a disaster but what can you do. "You know, he's clearly sick in some way yet he hasn't been taken away... I wonder why that is."
