Luka emphatically pointed at the screen. "I spent a lot of time learning about life, death, resurrection. So know what my take is? There's a chance this is true--there's a chance the woman on the screen is alive, and you're going to let your worthless pride get in the way of making things up to her."
He looked towards the ground, as if ashamed. "And know what's more likely? It's all bullshit. This is some trick, or a recording. But that doesn't mean anything. Even if they're words to a dead woman, they'll still mean something--there's a reason she's asking you to say them. The gift isn't meant for any of us, it's for you. She wants you to convince yourself, and earn it. So if you want what she left to you I'd say you better start with some quick soul-searching, we still got a game to play."

"...The gift goes to whoever 'gets' the person to apologise, not the person in question. A reward for someone else, and nothing for the one apologising. This whole bonus game, it's like it's designed to torment one person in particular... But you're right, maybe the one tormenting me here is myself," The Emissary said sadly, looking away and staring at the now-blank screen. "Are you really sure the person Iris talked about is me, though? There's nine of us here, we don't know everyone's story. At least give me this: humour me, and hear me out. We should at least rule everyone else out first."

"Perhaps you were," Vivienne replied, pulling the brim of her hat low and leaning on her parasol like a cane. "Or perhaps you or someone else delivered the meds to her a little more directly. I don't mean to accuse you specifically, of course. I don't even know who you are."
"The point is...the suicide angle is what the tabloids ran with, but that doesn't mean it's true."
She turned to the movie screen. "I already told you 'The Emissary' was a special movie to me. That's because every time I watch Iris's impassioned performance, it makes me even more certain of my beliefs..." Teardrops slowly fell from below Vivienne's hat. "M-My sister...k-killing herself...There's no way. I-It's impossible. I know it."

"Maybe you're the one who needs to apologize. She was your sister. If she would've called out for anyone's help it would've been you, right? So maybe you didn't support her enough or something like that." she said, brushing off Iris' motives for suicide with a dismissive wave.

Wesley Naught looked... worse in person. Compared to the man behind the screen, this man was balding, drained and defeated. He looked far older than his years at only 37, and his sad eyes showed clear signs of recent crying. Some in the group may have even struggled to recognise him as the same man who had played his part in Falling from the Nest so well.
"Ember... thank you. Maybe I'm the one meant to apologise here, maybe I'm not. But I'm going to apologise anyway. Vivienne... like you, I couldn't believe Iris would kill herself. She was... too bright, too real. But I don't want to lie to myself and pretend someone killed her. Even if... even if by some twisted turn of fate that really is what happened, I still can't deny what I did. She was suffering, and maybe... maybe I never paid enough attention to see it, too busy playing a role for the silver screen to see what was going on in my real life, the one that really mattered.
"So, Iris... I'm sorry. I know you meant it when you told me I should focus on my career instead of worrying about you, but I could do better. Of course I could do better. You gave up so much when you moved away from everything just to be with me, so why couldn't I give up some things in return? You dedicated so much of your life to me, yet I couldn't even reveal my own life to you, the one person in the world I should be able to lower my guard around. Knowing you, you might not have even wanted an apology from me... You were always so kind, you never openly blamed me even when you had every right to. But I'm apologising anyway. You deserved a better version of myself than you got."

But the group of strange people watch as the worlds melt into the air.
It's a deafening silence that follows Ember's comments. Wesley is left hanging.

"Iris, I am very sorry", she suddenly said to the movie screen, as emphatically as possible.

He looked over the crying people meekly, his jovial nature melted away "Games of the heart are the worst kind of game. I don't know, perhaps your apology was enough but we do not know how it shall be received or demonstrated. I know I have things to apologise for but unfortunately not to Iris DuGrande. Alas I cannot help in this moment other than to give you space to process." He murmured tentatively patting Vivienne and Wesley on the shoulder before leaving the room.

"God! Wh-Who did it then, Iris? Who...Who killed you?!" She cried out in desperation, but it wasn't entirely clear who she was talking to.
"Don't you think I know I should have been there for her? Don't you see how it's eaten away at me for years?! But...But there was nothing I could do. She's the one who left me behind!"
She seemed to calm down at Max's touch and turned around, but she still held her hand over her face.

He didn't seem to have anything he could say to Vivienne, too lost in his own feelings on the matter. However he pulled himself together enough to address everyone about one thing: "Don't forget her wording. The gift is for whoever 'gets' the person to apologise. We're not winning this round just by going round in a circle and letting everyone apologise, the intention is to drag an apology out of someone unwilling to give one. Which... now that I think about it... If it wasn't me, that means someone... someone hurt Iris enough that she recorded that message in response. I... don't know how to feel about that." Saying this, he returned to being lost in thoughts and memories, a troubled look on his face.

There are a few minutes of pause between that message and the next one.
Pink: you know i don't think that whoever did that would
Pink: like, say it in front of everyone?? it's probably terrible
Pink: so idk how we could get them to say anything unless someone here knows something...

"Iris DuGrande. I'm... Sorry. I'm sorry that some of my followers sent you some, um, let's call them unsavory messages because I kept riling them up about you." she adjusted her glasses, looking rather unenthusiastic about this whole apology business. "Maybe there were better ways of criticizing your acting that didn't involve saying you should just retire early..."
"... Did that work? I apologized."

The contrast between the way Wesley and her spoke was painful to watch. Ironically, it was obvious she was the one acting. There is no meaning to these words.

"Ember's not... she's not the only one who thought that way. There was so much of that going around when we announced our relationship. But Iris, she acted like she was okay with all that, like it was to be expected. That's just the sort of incredibly positive person she was. Later though, the Xanax... Maybe it was just a front. She was probably really hurting deep down."

"I don't care much for trying to get anything out of Miss Ohring either. No matter how many pretty words she spews out, she and the other harpies will just go back to ruining the lives of whatever fad comes along next. I'm not even sure she's capable of a genuine apology."

Code:
It is now time to continue the game. Each of you, please go back to your starting room to go back to a room-choosing phase.
The group slowly disperses and heads back to their little broom closets. Once again, everyone is faced with the two doors and the computers in front of them. Red light shines over each of them as they commence their discussion.
Code:
The rules for this door choosing phase are similar to last time: please vote for a leader.
The leader will order the players one to nine.
One will receive $450,000, take between $100,000 and 0 of it, and then pass the money to two and so on, all the way until nine receives whatever money is left. You will not know how much money you had until this round is over. If you try to take more than is available total, you will receive $0.
Those who are the first four in the order will enter the CHURCH room.
Those who are the last five in the order will enter the EMERALD room.

Aqua: If you are low down the chain, if you try to take too much, you may end up with nothing at all.
Aqua: There's not much reason to believe those higher up the chain would cut back on how much they take.
Aqua: So those lower down can't reasonably expect to get even $50,000.
Aqua: That being said, I can't see any way to avoid the top people in the chain just taking $100,000 each, the fifth taking $50,000 and then everyone else getting stuck with $0 regardless of what they ask to take.

Brown: From what I can tell, there really isn't any disadvantage to the first four players taking as much as they can, especially when they likely won't have to cooperate with the bottom five again for some time.

Green: I will only take $50,000.
Green: The first four people to vote for me will become numbers two through five.
Green: (Naturally, you are still free to take your fair share of $50,000, but you will be guaranteed the option of taking $100,000 if you so wish.)

Aqua: Only more skewed.
Aqua: The leader and those that vote for them get put into the first 5 slots, while the others end up at the bottom with $0.
Aqua: I would like to go to the Church room.
Aqua: But I don't mind not getting as much money.
Aqua: I will vote for Astrid.

Purple: But! The game goes on. By this point people should have accumulated some fair amount of points. I daresay if someone had played it right this would put them within touching distance of their goal.
Purple: For that reason I vote for Pink as well. This game seems more interesting and purposed that I had originally envisioned. I would not see it ended prematurely by greed.
