[It... definitely takes a while for the weekly after-execution note to arrive, but it does --- kind of scrawly and on ripped paper rather than nice stationery.]

EY. YO. WE GOT EFFIGIES IN THE DINING ROOM AND WE'RE GONNA BURN EM.

FOOD TOO. THE USUAL AND HOT COCOA. GOOD FOR THE SOUL. GET SOME. MAYBE TAKE IT BACK TO YOUR ROOM IF YOU HAVE TO. JUST GET SOME.

[Anyway, in the dining room, there's plenty of mugs set out, with a janky looking arrow sign pointing into the kitchen to where you can get your hot cocoa. On the table, there's Vichyssoise, a pot of green tea, and some booze. There's also a cookie tray on the floor away from the table on which to burn the Wordsmith and Kimbley effigies, which are handily placed near the food on the table.

...also if you go in the kitchen without shoes on just. Watch the northern corner. There's no kidneys, but there's a lot of broken plates there for some reason...]

I would rather not hurt someone at all.

[It was awful when she had to kill monsters... to kill someone who said such kind words to her...

If I hadn't been so rash... she would still be alive.

You thought what you were doing was for the best.

[ He's not going to say it's okay, because he knows it's not, but he is trying.]

[firstaid]

[He is trying, and it's true that she was trying to do something that helped... but it doesn't help this sinking feeling she has.]

I know I was... I... I only meant to help her.

[deofoled]

That's what's important.

[firstaid]

I... know...

[She's going to get up from her seat.]

Um... I... I'm going to go back to the kitchen so... please excuse me.

[She gives him a polite bow.]

[deofoled]

[ He doesn't feel like he could say more, but he tried. Notably he is bad at reassuring people this way, but maybe it helped.]

Take care of yourself and don't forget to eat.
