Camelia sits with you in Cerise's living room after you wake up from your first full night of sleep in a while.

She lazily twirls a spoon in a plastic cup. "Back at it, then?" She says, and then takes a sip.

"I guess. After my last conversation with Sable I'm not sure if I'm fired or what, but I should probably keep showing up to work until someone tells me."

Camelia smacks her lips. "You don't have to. You could always find out how cool it is to be an unemployed piece of shit."

"Uh huh. What the hell are you drinking?"

"Found an old tub of Tang in Cerise's cabinet. Want some? I could make you a glass."

You stand and start to get dressed. Camelia watches you with interest. "More for me, then," she says, shrugging, when you don't reply.

"Did Cerise already leave?" You ask as you tuck in your polo shirt. The rough cotton fabric makes you itchy. You hate this business casual shit.

"About half an hour ago. She's supposed to meet with her boss to talk Senate testimony."

You rub your forehead. Your sister on national television - ugh. "No one actually watches C-SPAN, right?"

"I think /csg/ does," Camelia offers.

You grimace.

Outside the apartment, you lean with both elbows against the banister facing the sparse courtyard abutting Cerise's unit. The early morning sun and birdsong annoy the hell out of you.

Camelia joins you. "You still in?" She asks. "After everything last night."

So that's why she invited herself over. You consider the question. "There won't be anyone inside the building... when it happens, right?"

"Give me some credit. I'm not a complete maniac," Camelia offers.

"Tyrus and his manservant are, though. They murdered those people who live across from you."

"One thing at a time. First Darkbloom, then Tyrus."

"Aren't you ambitious."

Camelia smiles. "Anyway, Gal can get the building evacuated before we hit the shiny red button. There's no problem."

You sigh, watching a few people down below as they walk the small path through the apartment complex -- hurrying on their way to another boring day at work, oblivious. You wish you could remember a time when you had a normal routine like that, without all this insanity around you.

"You know I'm starting to get it," you say, looking from the courtyard over to Camelia beside you. "When my parents died, I was so angry. For years, even. But I didn't know who to be angry at. I guess I was angry at myself. Now that I know the truth... it's more than just anger. It's hatred. So much I could choke on it."

"Hatred is one of the most useful emotions there is," Camelia says. Her good eye sparkles and her fiery red hair practically glints in the sunlight.

"So I understand you now," you continue. "Why you've been so... so Camelia about all of it."

Camelia blinks.

"You're still an absolute cunt," you add. "But at least it makes sense. I'd be a cunt too if I had to live with this hatred inside of me for so long."

"You're a cunt anyway," Camelia says. She bumps your shoulder with hers, sending you tottering for just a moment.

You chuckle, but then you notice Camelia wiping tears away from her reddening face and sniffling.

"Are you--" you begin.

"No!" Camelia shouts. She quickly finishes wiping her face and sniffles back mucus. "Shut the fuck up. Idiot. Asshole. I have spring allergies."

"Camelia..."

"It's good to be understood," she says, softly. "I'm glad I was able to get through to even a dumb motherfucker like you." She puts a fist to her lips and clears her throat, stands straight. But her voice begins to quaver again as she continues: "Listen... whether you're in or out, from now on -- don't forget. Don't forget the truth. Darkbloom is the devil, you understand me? He's going to try to fill your head with lies and evil and temptation. All that shit. Don't let him. Don't let him, Alabaster."

In or out: that's the question.

The plan has three critical parts that have to go off all at the same time - while Darkbloom is sitting in front of the Senate.

During his testimony, Kay will break the story of Darkbloom's human experimentation. That will give his questioners something to talk about, and Darkbloom no time to prepare a slick deflection.

Simultaneously, Gal will leak damaging information she gathered from the hack in March: proof of corruption running deep in Darkbloom's circles.

As the Senate is grilling him over being a hybrid between Dr. Mengele and an early 1900s robber-baron, you are supposed to put the final nail in his coffin: by blowing up his company. This is key. It's the part that ensures no enterprising investors can pick up the reins and continue Darkbloom's work after he is out of the picture.

It's a three-prong attack from which neither Darkbloom Analytics nor its CEO could hope to recover. David Darkbloom will walk into the Senate as the most powerful man on the planet and walk out completely ruined, possibly in custody.

You just have to decide whether you're going to be part of it.

>[x] I'm in.

Camelia nods. Uncharacteristically, she has nothing else to say. Maybe she can't bring herself to speak. You can hear her breath shuddering a bit on every inhalation, some mixture between excitement, trepidation - and relief. Relief to have an ally.

"By the way," you say. "I was starting to think it was some kind of chuuni thing, but I guess there really is something freaky behind that eyepatch, huh?"

This brings Camelia back to sorts. "I told you when we met, moron. It's my evil eye."

"It still works?"

Camelia takes a deep breath. "It hurts, which is why I keep it covered. But yeah. It works, all right." She reached up with a trembling hand. Slowly, she peels back the eyepatch.

The skin around her other eye is badly scarred - and dark, like someone chronically sleep-deprived. The eye itself is milky white, like it's blind, although the hint of a brilliant blue iris is still visible. The pupil is nothing but a tiny dot of pure black in the middle. Camelia hisses in apparent agony as she bares the eye to the world. She focuses it on you.

"Your favorite breakfast cereal is Cap'n Crunch, but you haven't had a bowl of it since 10:54 AM on Saturday February 3 - which is probably why you're craving it right now. You really liked baking for everyone a few days ago even though it's embarrassing, and you'd like to find an excuse to do it again. The last time you had sex was at 3:29 PM, yesterday afternoon. Your partners were Sable Guiteau and Alex Best in a threesome. You admitted your feelings about Rose Mallory to her father last night at 10:08 PM but went right back to texting insults at her when you got released from FBI custody. You're afraid of not having control and you're self-conscious about your relatively average height. You need to brush your teeth."

She says all of this at a dizzying speed, without pausing to breathe. When she's done she puts the eyepatch back on, suddenly looking woozy. She steadies herself against the banister and rubs her eyes, still off-kilter, looking like she's in serious pain.

"You... you saw all of that through your implant?"

"Most of it," she says, her voice weak. "I didn't need the implant for the part about your teeth."

You cup a hand over your mouth and check your breath. "I'll be right back," you say.

When you come back, with hopefully more tolerable breath, Camelia is still leaning in pain against the railing outside Cerise's apartment.

"I've never shown that to anyone," she says. "Not even Gal. I hate how ugly it is."

"You gonna be okay?" You ask.

"It takes a lot out of me. That's why..." She trails off, then starts again. "It doesn't just hurt. Every time I do it, I see him. And he sees me."

"...Darkbloom?"

"Can't get anything past you, huh."

You become suddenly fearful. "So he knows you're here?"

"He knows we're talking. But he already knows we've been talking. That's why he asked you to kill me."

You shake your head.

"I have no fingerprints," she says. "I melted them off when I was 13. No social security number. No bank account. And no name. No one knows who I am. But when I open my evil eye, he can see me all the same. There's no getting away."

You're not sure what to say to this.

"I'll be okay," Camelia says after a beat. "In a little while." She leans her forehead against the cold metal banister, making an impression on her forehead.

"Have you ever heard of the hammer method?" you ask. "For headaches."

"What?"

"So you don't know everything after all. If you've got a bad migraine, you can make it go away by hitting yourself in the hand with a hammer. Or..."

"I don't know what the f--"

You reach around her and grab the eyepatch. Before she can react, you tug it so the elastic goes taut, then let it snap back against her face. The shock and sudden smarting of it makes her squeak -- the sound is actually not far from "au" -- and she stumbles back in a combination of low-level pain and high-level anger.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" She hollers.

You shrug. "I can't help it. Didn't your implant tell you that I like to bully cute girls?"

"You-- I-- it--" She chokes on her own words. Your little comment has short-circuited Camelia's brain, clearly.

"You're not thinking about your headache anymore, though. Are you?"

"You are the worst. The fucking worst. God."

Camelia is still ranting indignantly when all of a sudden her good eye bulges, and she stops mid-sentence.

"What's wr--" you begin.

"Stasi."

"What? What does East Germany have to do with this?"

"Stasi is coming."

"Stasi are coming? Don't tell me Soviet-era secret police are involved now too."

She paces in a worried circle. "I have to talk to Tyrus," she says. "I... I'll see you later."

She brushes past and jogs a bit towards the stairs. But stopping herself before she gets there, she turns and comes back to you.

"Am I in danger here, or what?" You ask.

"Unfathomable danger," she says, grabbing your collar and peering into your eyes. "Horrible, mind-boggling danger."

"I guess that's normal, then."

She kisses you - quickly and without warning.

You sputter, pulling back, although she keeps her grip on you. "Warn me next time!"

"That's an appetizer," she says. She stands on tip-toes, whispers in your ear. "We're a lot alike. I like to bully cute boys."

"Camelia--"

"I have to go. See you soon, Ally."

She runs off.

At work, you swipe your badge and pass through security, feeling more keenly than ever the watchful eyes of David Darkbloom. He isn't around, but you know he's here, somewhere. It creeps you out.

By now, Alex should have handed Penelope over to Sable.

You wonder about that. Camelia claims she wants the device inside the building when it blows up, but that excuse doesn't pass muster. Why not bash it apart with a rock or something? You don't need several tons of C4 to destroy a grain-sized piece of circuitry. She's playing at something else.

You go to the cafeteria and grab some much-needed breakfast - you haven't eaten in almost 24 hours. As you sit and nibble at bacon and toast, you consider what to do with your day. It would be kind of weird to report to Sable as if nothing unusual happened yesterday, right? You more or less quit your job the last time you spoke. But you're curious what she's going to do with that device. And if anyone can forgive an enraged outburst, it has to be Sable, right?

>[x] Look for Vivian

You pull out your phone and use the Outlook app to drop an appointment on Vivian's calendar. It's packed full of conflicting meetings from 5 AM until well past 5 PM, but you think she'll make some time for you anyway.

The title of the meeting is "Spontaneous Breakfast Date (S.B.D.)"

The attached email says:

>I have scheduled a spontaneous breakfast date with you, Vivian Darkbloom, to take place at 9:00 AM today. I hope you will accept. In the interests of increased spontaneity, feel free to push the start time of this meeting either forwards or backwards by a maximum of five minutes.

Vivian's acceptance notification comes through just a few minutes later, and at 8:55 AM sharp she's down in the cafeteria looking for you.

You wave her over to your table.

"You should come with me to the executive dining hall," she says without sitting down. "The food is much nicer there. And it isn't bustling with all of these -- people."

You glance around. The other employees are shying away, giving the two of you a wide berth. Vivian frightens them.

"I already ate," you say. "Anyway, the food is just fine here too." Using your foot, you push out the chair across from you. "Learn to commiserate with the hoi polloi once in a while."

Vivian peers skeptically at you. But finally she sits. She grabs either side of her seat with both hands and hops herself back closer to the tabletop.

"What kind of jelly do you like?" You ask.

"I rather prefer blackberry preserves," she says.

"Right. Eggs?"

"Over-easy. No bacon, please. It's too salty. Just some fruit."

"Wait here."

You get up and grab her a plate, filling it with the food she said she enjoys.

The thing about Vivian is that she eats so slowly and deliberately, you wonder how she doesn't starve to death. It's like watching a bunny rabbit all buzzed on downers trying to get through a salad. Her tiny mouth nibbles tiny bites, and chews for agonizing moments before she swallows. You count: every bite she takes, she chews precisely 42 times.

"Enjoying it?" You ask.

"What is the purpose of this breakfast date?" She says, ignoring the question.

"There is no purpose," you say. "Just boredom. Don't you ever just... hang out with people?"

"No."

You nod. That makes sense.

"Your sister is preparing for her Senate testimony," Vivian says. "I worry about her fitness to act as a public-facing representative of this company."

"Don't," you say. "She can handle herself."

"Mm." Vivian nibbles some more at her toast.

"Who else is gonna be there?" You ask.

"Father, of course. Mr. Armstrong. Mother may go, but she wishes not to. And..."

She trails off.

"And?" You prompt.

"Some people have said I may put a humanizing face on the work this company does, were I to testify. I am, apparently, a moppet."

"I wouldn't go that far," you say, frowning. "Actually, you might have the opposite effect. You might make the Senate think Darkbloom is in the business of building androids that mimic humans."

"You are intolerably cruel, Alabaster."

"See - like that." You shrug, then point at her, elbow on the tabletop. "Most girls wouldn't say 'you are intolerably cruel.' They're just say something like, 'you jerk!' Try it."

"You are a jerk." She puts a weird emphasis on the word "jerk," like verbal scare quotes.

"No. Still too stilted. Just: 'you jerk.'"

"That phrasing is ambiguous and would therefore create potential confusion. The target may think 'jerk' is being used as an intransitive verb - as a command."

"I promise you that no one thinks about intransitive verbs but you. You little robot."

She murmurs to herself. "You-- jerk."

You act aghast. "You want me to jerk? Well, if you insist..."

"You jerk!"

"That's the spirit."

She bows her head, focuses on eating.

"Forget about what other people are saying. Do you want to testify?" You finally ask.

She shrugs, her little shoulders lolling. "I am uncomfortable in public situations. However, I want to protect my father in any way I can."

You cringe. If Camelia's plan works, this poor girl is going to find out some very dark things about her father - and she may never see him again.

>[x] Encourage her not to.

"You don't think your dad can protect himself?" You ask. "He's one of the richest and most powerful people on Earth. He's fine."

"I see the doubt in his eyes," Vivian says. She sounds even gloomier than usual. "He tries not to let it show, but I can see it. It's the special connection fathers and daughters share. I can tell he's worried."

"Don't get hung up on it," you say. "If he wasn't worried, he'd hardly be human. That doesn't mean he won't..." you let that thought hang in the air, unfinished. You don't want to promise her that her father will get through this mess, because your entire plan is to make sure he doesn't. Instead you try this: "at some point, you have to do what's right for you. And worry about yourself first."

"What's right for father is also what's right for me," she says.

This girl's devotion to that bastard is going to kill you.

Vivian pushes her plate away. "It was nice to put some food on my stomach," she says, wiping her lips daintily with the corners of a napkin. "Thank you, Alabaster Soliloquy."

You glance down. "You barely ate half your food."

"I was only peckish."

You tut at her, but decide to let it pass.

"Do you mind if I accompany you to the conference room?" she says.

"...Conference room?" You stammer.

"It's nearly time for your presentation. I am in the first cohort. I thought it would be best to get it out of the way -- such meaningless, pointless dreck -- an utter waste of time. No offense intended. I know this was primarily the idea of your first cousin once removed."

Oh god. She's right. You're supposed to give your first round of sensitivity training with Rose today.

After the break, you and Rose have both managed to find the composure necessary to get through the final hour or so of slides, although the tiredness in both your voices must be evident to the crowd. You find it hard to care any longer.

As they disperse, still somewhat confused by the wanton display (you can already picture the rumor mill beginning to churn), Rose gives you a glare that could down a bull elephant.

"You're horrible," she tells you. She shuts her laptop and packs it away in her messenger bag.

"We went over this. If you didn't want it to happen, you would have worn panties. It's your fault that you got molested."

"You're a pervert. You're worse than a pervert. You're a fucking rapist... a worthless, disgusting little worm! How dare you make a mockery of my presentation like that?"

"Bitch, bitch, bitch," you say. "Is that all you ever do?"

"When you least expect it..." she says, simmering with raw hatred, "I'm going to get even. Fucking bank on it, you piece of shit."

"Like you could ever get the drop on me. How are you going to get even? Bore me to death with another powerpoint presentation?"

"I've gotten even before. I can do it again."

You laugh cruelly. "That's just what you think. Maybe I'm only trying to gaslight you into believing you can have some kind of control, when really, you don't..."

"I--"

"You think you've got me pegged, Rose, but you don't. And you never will." You stand. "The truth is, you're always bound to lose. And you love it."

Her gaze is one of barely contained hatred but you can see her shaking too, almost imperceptibly.

"Same time tomorrow, huh?" You say. "Make sure you don't wear panties to the next one, either. You'll regret it if you don't."

You step out.

>[x] Report to Sable.

You hear Sable way before you get to her office: the muffled sounds of her shrieking carry and echo down the halls. And also loud banging, as of things being thrown around. Coders from her team are streaming down the hallway in the opposite direction, fleeing, and you feel like a person driving down the wrong side of the highway during a mandatory hurricane evacuation.

As you pass Ken, you ask him what's going on.

"Forget about it, pardner," he says. "Come back in a few hours. It isn't worth the risk."

You thank him for his concern, but you really need to know what's going on. Especially since you don't see Alex among the fleeing masses, and you know for sure you're going to find him in the eye of the storm.

oh no

"UNACCEPTABLE!" Is the first thing you hear as you step foot into what remains of the little coder's den outside Sable's office. Sable is marching up and down the aisles between workstations, sweeping her arms across the desktops, knocking monitors and PC towers over. Alex is following behind, just like you knew he would be, trying and failing to calm her down.

"This is UNACCEPTABLE! We cannot have a delay! Not now! NOT NOW!"

"Ms. Guiteau... Ms. Guiteau, please..." Alex begs and pleads, pausing only to jump back in fright as a PC tower clatters to the ground right in front of him and nearly lands on his toe.

"How did this happen? HOW?"

"We're working on it..." Alex says, his voice small. "We're trying to understand..."

"Working on it?!" Sable yells. She turns, grabbing Alex by the collar, and shoves him forcefully backwards. "Working on it! This is a billion dollar project dead in the water! My life's work, dead in the water! And you're working on it? That's the best you can do?"

"I--" Alex begins.

"GRAHHH!!" Sable yells, savagely, incoherently, ripping power cables from the wall. She picks up a monitor, heaving it up over her head, and tosses it against the opposite wall. It leaves a dent in the stucco. Sparks fly.

You grab Alex and tug him away, out of the room, into the hall, while Sable rages. Out of the path of fire - for now.

"What the hell?" is all you can say.

"It's the SMATTERS units... they're dying... we don't understand why..."

You nod. You have a pretty good guess why they're dying. Alex does too: "It's that awful red-headed woman, isn't it?"

"Which one?" you say.

"Take your pick!"

"The only awful red-headed woman," you say, "is--" you stop, interrupted by a particularly loud crash from within the room. "--Is in there," you finish.

"You're responsible for this!" Alex cries. "I know you are. You're sabotaging her life's work! You're sabotaging MY work!"

"I'm helping you," you insist. "In case you forgot about yesterday. Doesn't Sable have that device she wanted so badly?"

"Yes," Alex says. You've never heard so much anger in his voice. "But Mr. Darkbloom took it. He wants to make sure your terrorist girlfriend didn't do anything to it. Another delay!"

"You need to pull your head out of your ass," you tell Alex. "Sable is crazy, and she's treating you like a personal whipping boy."

"Is that any different from how you act?" He says.

You wince.

"Leave me alone, Ally. I thought you quit anyway."

"I'm here now. And I'm worried about you."

"No you aren't. You're only worried about yourself." He steps back, shaking his head. "You go and tell this to that mute lesbian hacker-girl and that revolting one-eyed bitch you've been conspiring with... whatever virus they snuck into those SMATTERS units, I'm going to root it out, and I'm going to fix them. They'll be back up and running before the end of the day, better than ever."

"Alex-- Alex, please--"

He turns and goes back into the room where Sable's shouting is only getting louder.

She's a very busy girl!

Just as you step in again, Sable plops down in a chair, enervated.

"It's over..." she says. "It's all over."

Alex gets down on his knees and rests his palms on Sable's knees in turn. He peers into her eyes. "It's not over, Ms. Guiteau. I can fix this. I will! I promise I will!"

She covers her face and shakes her head. "What's the point." Her voice is flat and emotionless.

"We're too close now to quit..." he says.

You clear your throat. For the first time, Sable takes notice of you.

"Get out," she says simply.

"Does that mean you're firing me?" You ask.

"Yes. Absolutely. You're fired. Get out."

"I don't think you have the authority to do that," you counter. "I could be wrong. Maybe I'm wrong."

She looks at you like she can't believe you're a real person.

"You're a stupid, short-sighted little twit," Sable says. Her voice is still flat, despite the recriminations. "You don't understand what you're doing. Whatever Darkbloom wants with Sand Reckoner, that isn't the point... think of how much we could accomplish with perfect knowledge, as a species... no more climate change, no more hunger, no more war... humans would make it to the stars within a century. That's what you're standing in the way of."

"Is it worth the price of a little girl's life?" You ask. "Mine? My parents?"

"It's already been paid." This is Alex, standing tall, facing you down. "So why make it pointless?"

You feel like there's a gulf between you and these two people that can't be bridged. You can't make them understand the evil they're taking part in. The fact that Darkbloom isn't going to let them use their breakthroughs to do good things.

"I'm sorry," you finally manage. "Really."

"I'm sorry too, Ally."

Alex sits down at his workstation - like the lone house in a Midwestern town ravaged by a tornado, it still stands intact.

"As far as I'm concerned," Sable says, "you're an infiltrator and a saboteur. Why David retains you is beyond me, but you cannot be here any longer. Go away."

That sounds pretty final. You bow your head and go.

Can I be honest here? Since this Quest came back, I enjoyed it immensely. The ups, the downs, the fucking twists and turns. The fucking DOUBLE Threads. But I feel a hollowness when you said those words. The Grand Finale. I feel as though we're only scratching the surface of this quest.

What I'm trying to say here, I don't want the wild ride to end. I understand why I just don't want it to.

>>2785389
You know he already confirmed another “season” right?

Accordingly, some plots will be tied up others will carry over and a few more will be introduced.

The finale he speaks of is a midway point, IF that.

I know how you feel though

I can't help but feel we've made a mistake. This breaks my heart. I know we can fix this if we believe in ourselves.

Also Camelia says that Gal will get everyone out of the building I presume with an alarm or whatever but Sable probably wouldn't leave when the fire alarm goes off which means there's a chance her and Alex would be in the building when it blows up. Committing to blowing up the building while we're still fighting them feels dangerous.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I feel scare and frigten

Dammit you idiots. Jumping on every plot hook broke Sable and Alex. You guys need to learn some social tact. We even got a warning from growly Alex, but you kept pushing.

>>2785906
Reminder that nobody in /fq/ got the Hanako good end on the first try.

>>2785906
How did us following break them? Sure they were pissed but they were already pissed at us, we just got to see how pissed they were

>>2785906
We severed that link when we left them the first time. Our infatuation with trying to patch things up just added insult to injury. So yes, we do lack tact. If we were to have not followed Alex things would have been better.

>>2785906
The routelock happened way earlier anon. Once we decided to side with Camelia, we were locked out of Sable and Alex (and depending on how it goes, Vivian too). Likewise, had we sided with Darkbloom, the Camelia, Galatea, and maybe Kay routes would have been locked away.
Rose, Whitney, and Cerise would have remained loyal no matter what we chose which is why those three are the best.
