You must be exhausted for more than just one reason.
Did you at least receive anything in exchange for your troubles?
[That would be the former, Woo-Woo. At the mention of the book, she sighs. The hand she used to point at the bunny bag moves to touch her neck, almost]
Truthfully, I think we were only given those to remind us of what we were made to do. Out of cruelty, or... [Or...? She trails off, closing her eye.] No, I can hardly imagine another purpose.
Then - I don't think we need to keep all of them. In truth, perhaps just one, in case there are answers that might be revealed later for whatever reason... but if you'd rather be rid of yours, let me know and I'll do my best to help.

[his voice is soft then - ]
Lay down? I'll help you. I... looked through the book that Taako brought. Did you all experience those moments?

[i have bad news for you, dana.
it's the return of the truth cookies.]

but soo-won will look over at where she's gesturing to, frowning in thought at that.]
I see.... That will hopefully be useful - we'll just have to be careful about the question they ask if it's based on use and not time limit.

.... I know that I was not with any of you during your ordeal -
But I hope only that you know you needn't carry the weight alone, or only amongst yourselves.

no subject
... you and I both.
What you went through regardless was unacceptable - at the very least... you should be able to have something to show for it.

She nods a little at that, before her expression shifts — almost like she's suddenly become aware of something.]
... Oh, no. That reminds me. I'm so sorry, Soo-won-san. I... I promised we would reconvene today, didn't I?
