Week 9 | Tuesday 12pm

[ For a while Yoite debated whether to say or do anything at all. He never liked when people tried to help him-- for the simple reason that he felt like he couldn't do anything in return. He was only good at one thing and...Even though he felt like he shouldn't, he had decided to try to do something after all.

And so he finds himself in front of Poland's door, with two cans of lemonade. It was the only gesture of appreciation he really knew, and before he can stop himself he knocks on her door.]

[ Yoite was speechless often, but this time was different. They had talked a lot (by his standards), but never about things like that. Mostly simple things, though they had talked about identity and names frequently.

He grimaces and looks away.]

...I didn't know. [ His bond with her was more primal, a familiarity he couldn't describe but that he felt the more and more they spoke.]

I still want to help her, even if she's dead.

[If you asked her to be honest, Poland thinks all that stuff is irrelevant besides. It just helps as a justification over Sadie's murders because they were Gilbert and Alisha-- and Poland wants to be prepared in case she's ever asked to justify saving Sadie from a group that almost uniformly despises her.

She liked Sadie. Sadie was her friend and much like Yoite that reason is all she actually needs to want to save her.]

I think... if Undyne's heroics taught us anything, it might not be impossible to beat the things that have captured us here.

I think we really can save her. [Save everyone.]

[okuri]

[ He nods at that-- it was impossible for him to understand someone like Undyne, someone who screamed about justice and honor for all. But on this point he agreed with her, even if their motivations were different.]

I told Charlotte I would try. [ And that's what he intends to do, no matter how unlikely it may be that he succeeds.]
