[restringing]

[As far as he's concerned, there's nothing to criticize! Emerald seems to be doing everything right and putting more care into it than some people he knows (who will go unnamed), so Mafuyu is more than content to offer a wordless nod and slide into a sitting position beside her.]

Um... I don't know any of them.

[Not in Lunatia, anyway. Picking up the remote, he turns on the TV, which is queued to a screen with a list of movies.]

I opened the streaming service to the horror section. But I don't know what's good.

[unhappy]

Me neither, but I like gore and I don't like ghosts, so pick whatever fits that.

[ She can't say she won't end up rooting for the bad guy depending on the motivation, but she can read the room well enough to figure out if she should lie about that to Mafuyu, so he can pick whatever he wants. ]

[restringing]

[No ghosts, huh... Mafuyu doesn't see what's so bad about them, but gore should be easy! Hold on, just let him hum to himself and mindlessly scroll down the list...]

This one's recommended. It looks like it's about people on a camping trip.

[How terribly cliche!!!!]

[unhappy]

[ when you murder a bunch of people, the idea of them coming back to haunt you literally is a little unnerving. it's why she's pretty sure ghosts aren't real, but also definitely why she doesn't like the idea of them. ]

Camping is a horror on its own, sure.

[restringing]

I've only been on a school camping trip. Not one in a cabin. ...But murders seem to happen a lot there.

[That's enough confirmation for him, so without any further pretenses, he starts the movie and scoops Kedama into his lap.]

How many people do you think will die?

[unhappy]

[ Emerald hums softly as she thinks, leaning back a little. ]

All but two of them.

[restringing]

Then I'll say three.

[They're both awfully calm about this, and as much fun as it is to watch a movie with someone like Uenoyama or Haruki who would undoubtedly lose their minds over this type of film, it's honestly really enjoyable already to calmly talk about.... people being murdered?]

You think one dies early but they were alive the whole time.

[unhappy]

Were you just going to one-up my guess?

[ What kind of Price is Right nonsense is this!! Okay, she's grinning though. Cheeky. ]

What's the winner get?

[restringing]

Maybe. [...] Probably. But I went into detail.

[It's better if their guesses are close, right?! Or... something like that.]

Mmm... Your choice. More snacks? [Hold on, give him a second to point calmly at the screen.] This guy won't make it.

[unhappy]

Why him?

[ She points to the second hottest girl. ] She'll live. The other girl is too sexy, they always kill the sexy one.

[restringing]

He's talked the most. He seems too confident.

[Are those good enough reasons? They should be. Emerald's probably right, though, and Mafuyu cants his head to the side in thought.]

So she's safe because she's not the sexy one, but still pretty?

[unhappy]

[ She nods in agreement. ]

I think we're both probably right.
