[Elaine is out by the gardens now, sitting at the base of a fountain most people will recognize. There are no mirrors out here, and she's feeling rather averse to them now.] That was not cool.
There should be sixteen people back now, after the switch. Can everyone check on their friends? We can't be sure that they all went back until we do.
[Her expression softens, the curve of her mouth smoothing out into a wistful line. But her voice when she speaks is direct.] Sofia? Minato? [She'll wait calmly for a reply for all of twenty minutes. Then she'll look for them in person.]
[And now she sighs, settling into a lighter, softer tone of voice. With almost visible effort she forces anger and worry away. Her eyes turn toward the forest for a few moments, before settling back on the camera.] Do you think anything happened to us, the pieces, because we lost the game? Maybe it-... Maybe we died.
...Is there any way to know?
