No he can't! HE'S DEAD! I'm gonna be dead! You're gonna get punished and be dead! Then Peko-chan's stuck scaring the crap out of Tanaka's hamsters!
[This gravity swirling up in her head... Mahiru doesn't understand any of it. She's never felt like this before; the decision to be loyal to the group Peko led was one thing. Ibuki was part of it, all solemn vows about how the four of them were going to get out together, the mark on her neck bobbing under her gulps at their decision to lynch Legion if they had to prevent another conversion.
And then she understands what partner means. That thing Mahiru felt she had to hide but Ibuki already could have known through Mabel, and this wasn't about who would miss whom. If Dipper's a fair target so is the Mabel they're going to bereave; Kenny, Ciel, Anise, Nanami. There are enough days left for all of them to be dead.
Mahiru lunges forward to put both hands around Ibuki's throat. She can't make it anywhere near that far, of course; as the bracelet gets tighter again and her eyes slip half-closed in greater exhaustion, struggling to focus on Ibuki above her, Mahiru's elbows slump to a stop, over the wheel in the middle.]
