[Early in the morning--perhaps one or two--there's a series of violent explosions that seem to originate in the residential elevator shaft. The elevator itself plummets--anyone unlucky enough to be inside is killed either by the explosion or the fall, although they won't be able to recall which due to apparent unconsciousness.

Jason sends this message not long after the explosions quiet down.]

WHAT have you lot done this time? Are you trying to crack the Tower in half? HOW did you even get explosives? Do you know what you've just DONE? This is going to be a mess. It's your own fault, but given I'm on babysitting duties, I'm going to do my best to fix this as quickly as possible. It'll still take a week or so, though.

Until then--well, maybe you should figure out which of your revolutionaries had THIS bright idea and give them a talking to, because pretty soon you're all going to find out what that explosion broke.

(There will be no NPC response to this post.)

But it's still pretty hard, huh? [Her voice takes on a sympathetic tone, and she sighs quietly to herself.]

... It'll get better though, I think. We just... have to push through the bad stuff first.

[integrous]

.. Right. Whatever bad it is that's going to happen.. we'll just have to deal with it. [ She swallows. ]

I don't know what it's going to be or if I can even be of use, but.. if you need my help with it, just tell me, okay?

[technologic]

... Thank you, Asahi. And it's the same for you, um... If you n-need my help, just let me know a-and I'll do my best.

[integrous]

Thanks. [ She smiles. It's not as wide as usually, but still.. it's pretty genuine. It's a slight relief, knowing she has people to fall back on. ]

It's only thanks to other people that I could make it so far, either way, so.. it means a lot to me.

[April blinks, before she gives Asahi a small smile back.] Y-you're welcome. It's, ah, the same for me too, so I'm g-glad I can help.
