It was a very tired Vaan that walked into the Party Barn, and a very hung-over Mae as well.
Vaan was telling her about what had happened last night, while she told him about her odd nightmare.
They both agreed that something was going on, but decided not to do anything about it until it became more relevant.
They temporarily forgot about it as the practice began, a song called "Weird Autumn".
But once it was over, Bea looked to Vaan, "Okay, now start talking. You saw some weird creep in the woods?"
Vaan nods, and describes the events, though hesitates on the description of the almost-victim, not having seen them clearly enough.
Bea frowns. "Weird… We're too small a town to get psychopaths without knowing something was wrong… You think it had to do with Casey's disappearance?" she turned to Gregg and Angus by this point, meeting their gazes calmly.
Gregg rubbed his arm. "If it is, then why Casey? He was a good guy…"
"Not all stripes are black or white, bug. Maybe he upset someone."
Mae hummed softly. "Well, no matter what, we can't exactly tell anyone… Who'd believe us?"
"Good point," Angus replied, frowning.
Vaan bit his lip. "Well, I, for one, am making the decision we should all stick together, not go anywhere alone…"
They all agreed. And that night we all agreed to take Bea home first, because she was the only one who lived without someone nearby, then Gregg and Angus went home, and Mae and I last. It was a simple plan, and it would hopefully work out well.
But things rarely ever go right for anyone.
Sorry for the short chapter this time, but the next one is extra long to make up for it. And no, this will not be over once we reach end-game. And yes, I ship MaeBea, as well as Gregg and Angus, so gay couples all the way~
Finally, Mae is smarter than in canon, soooo... Don't hate on her.
