Sayuri clasped their hands together.

“Exactly! And like, maybe we can find an…exit or something, it’s kind of a long shot but you never know, you know?”

“Soooooorta? I mean the only other thing I did was I went to the mines a little– those are, uh, open or something right now, I guess? I dunno, that was, like, weird, some guy was trapped in there and ran out of it and–”

They cut themself off, waving their hand dismissively.

“Uh, that’s not like, relevant now. Anyway, there’s gotta be something here! We just have to find it, right?”

“Well all we can do is try, like, even if the answer is ‘there's no exit here’ we’ve kinda checked it off then I guess?”

All things considered, she had little hope for this garden to open up a potential exit for them, but that didn’t stop the potential entering her mind for a moment.

“W-wait, a person? How in the world-”

This place was getting weirder every moment, how many people were in this place other than the group they had right now?

“Well, nevermind that for now, we can talk about the secret mine dude later I guess?”

With that she turned, looking around at the garden before them.

“Hmm....hoooooow aboooooout,” Vulture paused for a moment, biting her lip as she glanced over every area in question.  “Maybe near the bench I guess?”

As much as the impending danger of possibly dying was an issue in terms of keeping her anxiety levels low, Vulture couldn’t help but be glad most of the people she’d spoken too so far felt relatively easy to get on with.

(Perhaps she’d have used the term ‘chill’ but considering past rose related incidents that didn’t seem entirely apt.)

“ I mean, that's a better reason than mine,” She let out a light chuckle “If these new areas are anything like the initial ones there's bound to be a ton of things y’know? This place is suuuuuper weird.”

Understatement of the century there Vulture, this place was little a bit more than just ‘weird’.

“But uh, it’d be nice to go with you I think, I mean, it’s always nicer to pass the time with someone else y’know?”

A pause.

“Is this the first new place you’ve checked out so far? I’ve only glanced at the maps I’ll be honest with you.

The class hadn’t been in this place for very long now had they...about two weeks perhaps?

In that time, two people were now dead. In horror movie terms, only two deaths in this length of time would be considered slow for pacing, a sheer stroke of luck they weren’t all dead by now. Perhaps if she viewed things in this way, she’d be able to find some sort of appreciation for just how high their survival rate was at this point.

Yet she couldn’t. There wasn’t much of a victory in ‘at least I’m not dead’ or ‘well most of us are still alive’, it was all rather hollow after all.

Instead Vulture would have to turn to other methods to calm her anxiety and frustration, trying to be an optimist wasn’t doing her any favors. The inclusion of new areas at least gave her the option to explore, after all there was a Zen Garden now! Zen was all about relaxing and taking your mind off of things right?

(Technically this isn’t the exact case, but Vulture didn’t know that.)

Her mind was made up, she went off without further hesitation and had only settled there a few minutes or so when another classmate got their attention.

“Oh hey Sayuri,”

Sayuri’s chipper greeting had been met with her own subdued one, worry gnawing away at the enthusiasm she could muster, but she still found herself smiling regardless.

“I thought it’d be nice to look around the new areas, because...”

She paused, struggling to think of a reason on the spot that wasn't ‘I don’t want to think too hard about the fact two of our classmates are dead and gardens are nice’. Did she need to give a reason? It’s not like she needed to explain her every action after all,dear lord she needed to stop worrying so much.

“Well, just because I suppose.”

Well, that whole thing had been an adventure. They could sort it all out later, for now they had a lot to sort through in the new areas. A potential escape route, at least an obvious one, was probably too much to hope for, but maybe…

Well, what were they even hoping for at this point? More clues as to what the hell was going on might be nice, but really it was just something for them to do so they didn’t have to think too hard about this entire mess. The possibility of finding a….something at least gave them a goal, abstract and impossible as it might have been.

And so off they went to the new areas. The names were certainly intriguing, they could stand with some nonhuman company. Or any company, really. But, better than that…

“….!!!!!!”

There was a real, actual pool. Sure, that tiny little manmade pond was okay, but this? This was another story entirely. Room to spread their legs and arms! Nothing was the same as the beach, but hoping for that was probably a bit much. Well, maybe if they could find a couple hundred sandbags and some fake plants and…

…No. Time to stop that train of thought before it got too far. Besides, business before pleasure, or something, an adage they had never made a point to live up to ever, at any point in time in their life. They paused, looking at their NOXbook. The Zen Garden seemed like a fine enough place to start, so off they went. And when they got there….

“Oooooh my gosh, Vulture! Fancy meeting you here!”

Wait. Shit. Was that a little too familiar or friendly given what they’d all just seen? They should probably sound more somber or something. Well, no taking it back now. They fidgeted with their hands slightly, waiting for a response.
