Luigi: "..."

Luigi stared hard into the 'M' of his brother's cap, where it laid on his bedside table. He was sat on the edge of his bed, having given up tossing and turning with no avail of sleep. He had no idea what time it was, but it felt like days since he arrived back at his room after the class trial. Everything was starting to get tense again, and he didn't know how to cope.

Luigi: ("Mr. Krabs... M-Mario... Dedede... Ashley... They're all...")

Four people were gone. It hadn't been too long since the despised bear uttered the words of the killing game yet four people were already gone.

Luigi: ("They're-a not coming back...")

It was hard believing such a situation as death. For Luigi, death usually meant a defeat followed by a quick regeneration back into action. But here, it meant so much less. You were gone, and that was that.

Luigi: "..."

*Ding dong, bing bong*

Luigi: "H-huh...?!"

Luigi whipped his head to the wall, then shrunk back into himself awkwardly when he realised that it was just the morning announcement. He was dying to get away from the sheer silence of his dorm, but wasn't quite ready to socialise with an equally shaken array of people either. Trying to keep a somewhat optimistic approach, he forced himself to get ready and go out to the dining hall. Once there, not really knowing what to do at first, he caught sight of his small dog friend, and wearily waved at him. He waved back, just as wearily, and Luigi sat next to him.

Luigi: "Um... How're you-a doing...?"

Parappa: "I'm... okay, I guess..."

Luigi rubbed the back of his head, frustratedly trying to think of something to say. There was nothing he could say, however. After what they had to experience again, conversation was the last thing on their minds.

Peter: "Hey, why's it so quiet in here? It's like a funeral!"

Teto: "Does your brain reset every time you wake up or something?!"

Fluttershy: "I-I wish I could do that... Then, I could forget everything..."

2D: "It would be noice if we could just forget it all..."

Nagito: "Ah, but is that something you'd really want...?"

Brian: "What are you getting at?"

Miku: "I don't wanna forget this either!"

Teto: "Eh?! Why?"

Miku: "Well... If we did, then we'd forget everyone that's gone!"
