[showhost]

So, uh.

Welcome to Week Three! We’ve officially passed the halfway point, and after a super, duper successful Match Ceremony, I’m sure the teens are feeling all hyped up and raring to go.

Right?

Regardless, there are a few changes this Monday morning to greet the teens:

• First off, there is a new bathroom! Oooh, aaaahhhh. Three whole bathrooms in the house for the teens now. Enjoy.
  
• There is also a set of video games in the living room to connect to the TV. They are pretty much all multiplayer party games like M*rio C*rt. Don’t kill each other.
  
• There are a few packs of dorayaki now scattered around the house.
  
• There is also a piano now in the living room!
  
• On the counter in the kitchen, there is also some paper and writing implements, like basic ballpoint pens. Wait, doesn’t that break the rules?

Tsukasa’s extremely loud and obnoxious voice is not here to greet you guys this morning, which means it seems there isn’t a Task for the week–

But something else seems to be going on.

I think we might be dealing with that wildcard regardless.

[Even if she hadn't brought all this up for discussion.]

But maybe I just like having answers rather than letting things fester.

[ He puts a hand on her shoulder sympathetically. ]

No, it makes sense. I want an answer regarding the three of them too, and it's good you got a hint for us, it's just...

[ Big sigh. He leans in a bit to keep the words between the two of them. ]

It all seems a little raw, since Saturday. Don't you think? I feel like the fallout will be especially bad if it's now.

[rosethorns]

[She leans in a little as well, keeping her voice lowered.]

Maybe. [Sigh.] But an extra week isn't all that much time to let feelings cool, not really. If it doesn't get any better, is that worth gambling the final votes on? We won't have a chance to correct if everything goes bad then.

[haircared]

Yeah, true....

[ He winces, seeming nervous again. ]

I just don't want the rest of us taking collateral. Not after last time. [ Where they were forced to be collateral to That shit show. ] Will seems more worried that Akechi will just straight up refuse to participate. But do you think the producers will even allow that?

[rosethorns]

I can't imagine that they would... The drama might make for thrills, but they do still have a show to run.

[But all of this is so alien to any sort of shows that might get put to the stage at home, so maybe she's making a huge assumption about it all.]

It feels damned if we do, damned if we don't at this point, I have to admit.

[haircared]

Right? They can't just let one guy screw over the rest of us.

[ haha.... right........................ ]

We'll make it through. Maybe we ought to try to negotiate more with Tsukasa in these interviews. [ He didn't even know you could get hints like that!! ] I thought I was getting something worthwhile getting us those games, but you've got me beat.

[rosethorns]

I was just hoping to make a strategic attempt at putting the love-triangle—or whatever their situation might rightly be called—to an end. Seems like I’ve miscalculated a little.

[Look, she tried!]

I suppose if things get worse, consulting Tsukasa might need to be considered to keep it all from getting out of hand.
