[Sometime later in the day, when Maya returns to the room, she'll find Rita stripping the bed and throwing the bedding on the floor in a pile. There is some blood here and there. When she sees her roommate, she offers a shrug.]
That weird purple guy made a mess, so we'll probably need to wash this before we use it.
[she'll head over to her closet and mess around with stuff in there. by the way, it seems she's acquired some things? though the only thing sitting in plain sight is an abacus sitting on the desk.]
Things sure got messy fast... Not that I'm too surprised.
[when maya returns to her room later on friday, she'll find rita sitting on the bed with a notebook and pen in hand. she doesn't look up when maya comes in, but heaves a sigh.]
Can't believe you were right about the trial thing. And now we get to do it all over again...
[rita's sitting on the bed once again. with her notebook, once again. but this time, there are pages scattered all over, with hastily-scribbled notes taken at the trial, all laid out so she can see them.
she looks up and immediately reddens.]
--Huh? I, it's not... I mean, I did it first, so...
[rita is very much not a morning person, but she at least vacates the bed so maya can make it. she's now lounging on the couch with her phone in her hand.]
Morning. [and she slowly gains a little more wakefulness, and seems to remember--] Hey, before we go to class or whatever, there's something I wanna talk to you about.
[ aww, rita.... maya's general emotional state is just a lot of despair, generally, but it does recede when she sees rita. there's also some fondness shining though ]
They've gotta be, right?
[ maya has never been in a hair salon in her life ]
Or... maybe other stuff.... I guess we could experiment and find out.
[let's say she's at SUB! probably with some food in front of her. her emotional state is... bad! very anxious and kind of mad! but it seems to get less bad when maya shows up.]
Huh? Sure, I guess I still need to do one of those.
[so sometime later on friday, maya can find rita at the dorm! she's sitting at the desk and going over some notes, as usual, but she's looking kind of distracted...?]
Hey, Maya...
Remember when we talked about what we should do when we find a killer?
[sometime in the evening, rita's back at the room. she's sitting on the bed with a bunch of papers scattered around her and her notebook in her lap. she's writing in it, but... she hesitates, pen hovering over the page.
[it's later in the day, and rita's calmed down a bit. she'll seek out maya, hopefully in their room. she'll linger in the doorway, already feeling choked up again.]

You were pretty amazing too, though. Those dolts in the daycare even went out of their way to say so, multiple times.
