Story:

A0-B0 announced the next motive, the dispair disease! Stating how it was already in affect, and how they were sure some of the participants must have noticed how some people were sick already.

Elisia immediately went to go look for Cerus.

"Wait, we need to decide how we're going to go about this before we do anything." Shigeko spoke up, grabbing on to Elisia's arm before she could run off.

"What do you mean decide? Cerus is obviously somewhere sick, she needs help!"

"Exactly, she's sick with a highly contagious disease and will need to be quarantined." Evangelin pointed out. "Likely whoever finds and takes her to the infirmary will also need to quarantine. However, that would also depend on how we're going to go about treating the victims."

"Shouldn't we treat them how we would normally treat anyone else who's sick?" Luca inquired.

"Not if the disease is as contagious as A0-B0 says." Haru countered. "Whoever treats them can't be with them too long otherwise they risk getting sick themselves."

"But the victims will need to be constantly monitored unless we want them to pass from their ailments." Rebecca spoke up. "A0-B0 stated that it was a disease that quicky deteriorates the victim and clogs up their airways. They'll need constant supervision."

"But if someone stays with them 24-7 that person will also get sick, and we may not even know it until its too late." Miche finished with a shrug. "So, this is definitely an issue that needs to be discussed."

"Perhaps discussion can be saved until after we find Cerus." Mitsuo cut in. "Unless you all want to stay here and talk. I'll go look for her in that case. I'm pretty sure I've already been heavily exposed anyways since I had to more or less carry Natori here anyway." Mitsuo shrugged.

"Is that really a good idea?" Shigeko asked. "Mitsuo' you're already injured. If you get sick, it will likely kill you. Besides, considering the injuries you came into the killing game already having, I can't imagine you have a delicate enough touch to mess with anything in the infirmary."

Mitsuo pursed his lips.

"We can't leave Cerus alone, who knows where. And Natori also needs to lie down. Standing around and talking about this isn't helping the two who are already sick." Kaitlyn intervened, moving to help Natori stand, so she wasn't leaning on Mitsuo so much.

"Kaitlyn's right. We can't just leave them like that." Kanashimi hesitantly spoke up.

"Then how about we talk about this in the morning? We can all meet up in the kitchens. But someone will have to stay with Natori and Cerus for the night." Shigeko proposed.

It was quiet for a long moment. No one willing to say anything.

"I'll do it." Elisia volunteered. "I share a room with Cerus anyways, and I'm typically the one with her. Likely chances are that I've already been exposed."
