I need to address what happened last night. If you're tired of hearing about it, I promise I'll be fast and avoid detail.

[ He looks like he hasn't slept much. He's giving the crew a very somber expression. ]

First, Xue Yang isn't dead. The spirit going by the name of Wester put him in a penalty coma, where he's being forced to karmically experience the sensation of death. I know this because an incarnation of the same spirit dealt me the same punishment for a somewhat lesser crime, and I'm still standing.

Wester's spirit has certain abilities to uncover the past. The image they conjured was likely the truth, but it shouldn't have been shown to you all with such little warning. And I promise we're working on tracking them down to be dealt with, because however well-intentioned, it wasn't their place to be sole judge, jury, and executioner. You all shouldn't have to be afraid that every minor sin will bring wrath on your heads.

I'll try to answer any questions you have.

And...Wester, if you're listening, I still believe in you. We're both sinners, for better or worse, and you won't turn me away that easily. But we have to deal with this, delaying will only make it worse.

[ SOUNDS GREAT ACTUALLY. You know, apart from the whole, broadcasting it, thing. She hits the button she's seen other people use to reply to this shit. ]

When's he gonna wake up?

I'll back up what Kaiba-san said: We're doing everything we can to find Wester and deal with this as peacefully as possible so there will never be another repeat.

[She's not even going to touch on the whole 'uncover the past' aspect. That's. Just no and she really doesn't trust her voice not to give something away that could lead to her own, major crimes being uncovered by more people than strictly needed.]

That said, it's good to know Xue Yang-san will wake up, though, if you don't mind me saying so, Kaiba-san and it hasn't already been down, we should at least get one of the psychics on board to have a look at him too. I'd rather be safe than sorry, you know?

[There's an apologetic smile at the end. She trusts Kaiba, yet at the same time, she is on the Council and she refuses to be biased.]

[Yugi for the most part was just keeping away from everyone, but his reasoning was more to think things over in a quiet space rather than trying to when all the commotion was going on.

He was going through the events over and over in his head. Things were too much of a coincidence, but yet it definitely wasn't him. Someone who called themselves Wester...]

Seto...Can you please meet me somewhere quiet? I want to talk about this in private.

[ That was... a lot. Whatever happened last night, it had been horrifying to the point that Luke couldn't even respond; the thought of being trapped in one's own mind, experiencing death... it may have been survivable, but no one deserved that kind of fate, even murderers. ]

[ He debated even responding, because it was too much, and they shouldn't have needed to deal with that, not after everything else that had been happening recently. There was too much going on to have to worry about their own turning against them. ]

[ When he does finally respond, his voice is soft. ]

Let me know if you require assistance. If you're familiar enough with this person... I should be able to determine where they're hiding.

There is nothing well-intentioned about wasting the time of the medical staff on personal vendettas.

[ Wen Qing is tired, hungry and sore after working all night, finding herself a little beyond being capable of cordiality. ]

I suppose I have a question... is this really something the rest of us ought to be getting ourselves involved with?

[ Despite the bite her words would probably have otherwise, Bryn's voice is legitimately thoughtful, more than anything else. ]

That is to say – it isn't our business to be prying, is it?
