Week 7, Saturday - Ion the Nicer

[How many weeks has it been since he was in this room? It feels like it's been months, years. Nothing has changed—or, rather, everything has reverted to its original state. Sandalphon gives the room a once-over, then looks over his shoulder to the door when he senses the presence of another.]

Hm . . . Back already?

Week 7, Saturday - Jae-ha

[First order of business upon being revived: brew some coffee. Sandalphon is back in the kitchen, this time as a properly living being. He stands there in a trance as he watches the coffee drip—it's perhaps the only thing keeping him in a state of calm after all that's happened. Like this, he can easily tune out the rest of the castle.]

Week 6, Saturday - Rapunzel

[After that mess of a trial, Sandalphon is on his way back to the wind chamber when he catches a glimpse of long blonde hair. He cranes his neck to watch the entrance leading to the water chamber as it swing closed. A beat later, he walks over and pushes it open, letting himself inside the unfamiliar common room.

Did she stop here, or did she go into one of the rooms?]

Week 6, Friday - Jae-ha

[Alone in a remote part of the castle, Sandalphon observes the investigation midway. As soon as the names of the victims are announced, he heads out to the gardens, where he walks until he reaches the fountain in the center.

It's dark out now, but that's not so unusual for this side, regardless of the hour. He sits on the edge of the fountain to stare at the surrounding grass. His gaze eventually fixes on a couple of wildflowers, whose vibrant colors have been dulled by the darkness, and that's when he begins to lose track.

It doesn't matter to him if he ends up spending the whole night outside. For someone like him, time is irrelevant.]

Week 5, Sunday - Fitzgerald

[Later that day, Sandalphon makes his way to the kitchen. He stands there for a while, searching his memory for the steps he took earlier under another's instruction, before he dons the apron that Rapunzel made him. By the time Fitzgerald enters, he's gathered the necessary ingredients for a (very) small batch of baked goods and in the process of beating the eggs when he looks up.]

Ah, it's you. Did you speak with Dazai?

Week 1, Sunday - Jae-ha

[Post-trial, the familiar feeling of hunger draws Sandalphon to the kitchen. The dining hall is closed, so he makes do with what's available, slowly working his way through a toast as he nurses a cup of coffee.

When Jae-ha arrives, Sandalphon is in the middle of taking a sip of his drink. In lieu of a greeting, he locks eyes with Jae-ha.]

Week 1, Thursday - Ion the Nicer

[It's nearly time, and Sandalphon has long retired to the room he shares with Ion. His back to the door, he sits on the edge of the bed in a forward slouch. A small but noticeable number of beautiful white feathers line the floor here and there. When he hears the telltale sounds of someone's—Ion's—entering the room, he poses a question without looking up.]

Do you see anything?
