night four;

[unnames]

[As soon as he thinks everyone else is done either confronting or fussing over Elizabeth...Alice? goes to find her. After all, she's his partner-in-crime here, and he has to make sure she's okay.

(And he's worried.

Of course he's really worried.)

He'll wait until nobody's around before he approaches; he remembers all of her warnings, and how careful they're both supposed to be. He doesn't want her to get caught because of one of his indiscretions--

But eventually he does approach.]

Hey... you okay?

[ She sits in silence a bit, stewing about her own feelings on the matter. She's angry. She wants to kill anyone who did this to her. Whether it was someone who wanted research or save the world - there was no 'greater good' that she suspects the scientists need. It was always for power - be it knowledge or the controlling kind. ]

I'm sorry you're here. [ She replies immediately. Her shoulders slump down. ] I wish there was more I could do... I could have gotten us out - taken us anywhere but here.

[ She wishes she stayed dead, honestly... ]

We can only keep trying. There's nothing else.

...Thanks.

[He's not sure if he's grateful or not, but the sentiment...well, it's really nice, isn't it? And he's not used to people being that nice or considerate of his well-being, but he appreciates it even so.

Ultimately, though, he just sighs, shoulder slumping as well.]

We'll keep trying, and...we'll get it right. So.... just wait for that moment, okay? When we're all free and can get out of this hellhole.
