Why yes I AM enjoying this story and also VERY TENSE TO SEE THE END. And I don't know how many chapters there are /o\ (but I just unlocked Chapter Seven, so this is definitely not the end)
I just played all of chapter 6 and got partway through chapter 7 before going ok...time to take some notes...
So this is from memory and might miss stuff!
Beniyuri sits on the blood soaked carpet, overcome with despair. Kagiha might die, because of her. The friendship she'd relied on to survive this place was a lie.
Monshiro sees that she's upset and tries to comfort her.
Monshiro: I'm sorry I didn't tell you who I was.
Beniyuri: No, I should have recognised you! I saw you so many times :(
Yamato stares sadly at Monshiro and clearly wants to reach towards him but instead says they should get to safety. They go to the greenhouse, hoping Hikage might not know about it.
Yamato angrily demands Monshiro explain why he kept his identity a secret. Monshiro hesitantly says he knew that once Hikage's lie was revealed, the happy relationships they all shared would be broken.
Monshiro: I would be alone. I can sacrifice my name...my face...as long as I'm not alone.
Yamato: You've been alone since that day...
He gently pats Monshiro's head.
Yamato: I'm sorry.
Monshiro: No, it was my fault.
They awkwardly try to comfort each other and blame themselves for a while.
Beniyuri: What happened on "that day"?
Yamato: You don't remember?
Beniyuri: There's gaps.
The three guys stare at each other and clearly come to a silent agreement.
Yamato: ...nothing happened >.>
Beniyuri: SERIOUSLY?! WHY WON'T ANYONE EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO ME?!
Everyone: ...
Karasuba: OH! MY ARM! I WAS SO DISTRACTED I FORGOT ABOUT MY HORRIBLE INJURY!
Beniyuri: Oh no! I'll help you look after it!
Karasuba: No, I want Yamato to help me.
Yamato: wtf
Karasuba: I want YAMATO to come with me ALONE to look at it
Beniyuri: You do?!
Karasuba: Unless you want to see me naked? ;)
It takes her and Yamato a while, bless them, but they eventually figure out that Karasuba wants to discuss whatever secrets they're keeping from her. While waiting for them, Beniyuri asks Monshiro why he attacked Kagiha.
Monshiro: We had an argument.
Beniyuri: About what?
Monshiro: Nothing important.
Beniyuri: AHHHHHHH!!!! WHY ARE YOU ALL KEEPING SECRETS FROM ME? AREN'T I YOUR NAKAMA? DON'T YOU TRUST ME? Can't you at least tell me WHY you're keeping the truth from me?
They all look away, guiltily. I wonder: Did she do something awful they're protecting her from? The possibility hasn't occurred to her yet, though she does understand the general idea of truths that cause more harm than good.
Monshiro: They care about you, Beniyuri. I met Hikage before the rest of you. He isn't human, and the more you know the more he can manipulate you.
Beniyuri: So I should just STOP THINKING??
But no matter how much she explains about how much it hurts to be left out, they won't tell her the truth. They try to comfort her, and she feels condescended to and pitied. Eventually, she gives up, and pretends to be fine with it, putting on a mask of cheerfulness. But she feels trapped in a cage of their kindness, left out and not treated like an equal. Do they even really see her as nakama?
I wasn't expecting this game to give me a critique of benevolent sexism, but I am here for it!
They explore the mansion but see noone but themselves. Days pass uneventfully, and nights are spent with the men whispering amongst themselves when they think Beniyuri is asleep. Beniyuri feels more and more alienated and alone.
And then...Usagi appears. When they express surprise, she says "This is the Master's garden. Of course he sees you here."
She has come with a request for Beniyuri to come with her, bringing the last shard: her butterfly hairclip. Thesesoul gems accessories absorb the dark energy of the monsters and protect the wearer.
Yamato: Monshiro's is so dark D:
Usagi: He has been here a long time. It would be safer for all of you to avoid the monsters from now on.
The three guys say they will come with Beniyuri, and Usagi has no problem with this. She says they can all come whenever they like, she'll leave signs directing them.
They know it's a trap, but it's their only way out.
Yamato: We should ambush him!
Monshiro: Yes.
Beniyuri: Can't we try talking? He was our friend for so long...
Karasuba: He SHOT KAGIHA! While trying to shoot YOU!
Despite Beniyuri's objections, the men all agree she should just act as the distraction, and keep on organising things without her.
Beniyuri feels her heart wither in her chest.
