MY ORIGINAL IMAGE VANISHED SOMEHOW so this'll have to do

[It's hard to say if the items are meant to be helpful or harmful when they indirectly promote the killings. But they are, without a doubt, useful.]

Starting now, we will have to use our time and resources wisely.

[ nods! ]

Mm. That's why I didn't use the gun to heal my own wounds, after we got it - just in case someone else needs it more. I hope we won't need it, but it's better to have it in reserve than not.

Even knowing what it is, will you be able to point the barrel at another participant?

[ she smiles. ]

If it’s to help someone, then it’s worth the risk to try. Until I know for sure, I think it’s probably better to wait for a real emergency, but if it really is what it’s supposed to be, it won’t be a problem.

If it isn't, I suppose it won't make a difference to use it on a fatal wound . . .

[ well, this is what she gets for trying to be positive. ]

...Yeah, exactly. Under those circumstances, it's worth the risk to try, no matter what.

[The world requires balance.]

But if it is as the note says, it's a powerful item to have on standby. Keeping both eyes on it would be good.

Yeah, I know. I'm planning to keep it with me at all times, just in case we need it... but that won't stop someone from trying to steal it, if we end up asleep again on Thursdays.

You can conceal it somewhere on those nights, and then retrieve it in the morning.

That’s what I was thinking. Or if… if I’m the one who’s awake, then I'll keep it with me. If I wait to use it until it's absolutely necessary, I might still be able to fight back.

. . . Might?

Mm. It's not like I'm helpless or anything - I do some martial arts, so I can fight. But without my quirk, it'll be a lot harder. And I don't have any kind of weapon, so I'd have to get up close just to defend myself, so I'd probably be at a disadvantage. Being able to heal any injuries they gave me, though... that's one thing I could use, if someone got the upper hand on me. Being completely healed while they're still dealing with any wounds they have would give me a better chance at surviving.

...But that would only work if I'm still alive, so I'd have to last long enough to use it first.
