WEEK 6.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 6 With the deaths of Viktor Nikiforov, Varric Tethras, and Killia, you're down to half of your original number. There's only fifteen of you left. How much longer before your number drops again? Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; on Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. It seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... Of course, that doesn't mean that you've gained nothing else among the many, many losses you've faced; it seems that another floor has been made available to you for surviving another week. Congratulations and well done, even if you might not necessarily appreciate the reward. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 15

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ She does indeed have the flower in her hair! She doesn't feel right not wearing it, you know? ]

Okay.

[ She says it quietly, but she sits all the same, and she... seems to be trying to make herself look smaller. ]

[oyashiromama]

[Well, then Hanyuu very carefully brushes some hair away from the flower. Poor girl got so worked up, and Hanyuu wants to make sure it's secure.

She sits down with her.]

Now, Vanille... What was it...that you were saying to Elda? What did she say to you, to get you so upset?

[ravagers]

I... I didn't mean to tell her all that! It just... sort of came out... about me being a Saint and all...

[ Her chest hurts. ]

And she... she said a lot of things that I'd been thinking and didn't want to think about... because if I think about them too much, I don't think I could ever recover...

[ It's easy to ignore your own thoughts, for the most part, to laugh them off and push them aside. But when someone else puts a voice to them, it's harder to forget. ]

[oyashiromama]

[Vanille's told her about the Cie'th. She's told her about...some parts of her world, though it's hard for Hanyuu to wrap her head around all of it. ...She's aware that's in some ways hypocritical-

Still, because of that- she puts an arm around Vanille's shoulders.]

When something's on your mind too much, it can slip out easily...but if you talk about it with someone you care for, sometimes it can help lift the burden, even just a little.

[ A warm embrace can do wonders for one's spirits. And... she's still dwelling on a lot of the stuff Elda's said, but Hanyuu's right. She turns her head to bury her face in Hanyuu's shoulder, though, all the same. ]

I don't want to ruin your day, or anything like that! Not when--

[ Not when she's finally doing so much better. Vanille's not worth spoiling that. ]

[oyashiromama]

[...Ah. Hanyuu squeezes her gently, leaning her chin against Vanille's head.]

It would be so much worse...if you were suffering, and I could do nothing about it. [...] Let me help you? You're ruining nothing, Vanille.
