pack the cart well enough for the vase to fit and not spill any blood when it's covered with colorful clothes, let everyone else and off to the SDM alone.

>As you pack up the cart, Tear speaks up. "Where are you going this late at night? It's dangerous out there."

>Yeah really. We can do this in the morning.
