[Talk - Vasundhara]
After a few minutes of struggling, Vasundhara had managed to… relocate Ishi to the cafeteria. Now she stood in the corner of the laundry room, nervously watching the others scout out the area.
Timaeus
Hey, Vash.
Vasundhara
…
Timaeus
Thank you for, um, your help back there. Ishi is…
How do I say a hotheaded idiot without sounding like I was mad at her?
Timaeus
…Very passionate.
Vasundhara
Y-yeah… I can tell. She’s got a good heart.
Vasundhara
But she needs to– to take better care of herself! That was… really dangerous…
Timaeus
Maybe she’ll actually listen if you tell her…
Vasundhara
Uhuhu…
Vasundhara
…Th-this is all so horrible… Poor Guga… She– she had a good heart too.
Timaeus
Y-yeah…
I remembered the speech Gugalanna gave the night before– more of a roast, I suppose. We shouldn’t turn on each other in the face of death like cowards, she’d said… and now here she was, the first to die. It was just awful.
We were silent for a few moments, but then I remembered what I’d actually meant to ask Vasundhara.
Timaeus
Oh… Vash, you were the first to find them, right? What happened, exactly?
Vasundhara
Ah! I-I think I just happened to be the first one out of my room… I was gonna knit in the library for a lil' while, ‘til the others woke up, but… I walked past the door, and…
Timaeus
…And you screamed, and we showed up, right? You didn’t–
She froze.
Vasundhara
Y-y-you don’t think I did it, do you–
Timaeus
–Of course not! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you… But you didn’t move anything around, right?
Vasundhara
N-no, I was too scared to touch anything…

Vasundhara's Testimony
Everything in the laundry room is how Vasundhara found it this morning, almost immediately after the doors unlocked.
Timaeus
Okay. Sorry to bother you.
Vasundhara
…I-it’s okay… I’m sorry I’m not much help.
Timaeus
No, you’ve been a big help. Just take it easy, okay?
