Love of mine, someday you will die, but I'll be close behind

[feistytrader]

Please join us in the greenhouse should you feel able or need company. There will be food and comfort. None of us should be alone right now.

-Hanyuu, Jasper, and Silver

[That's the note that gets slid under everyone's doors after such a somber and saddening trial; it's not like it's going to be a big ordeal anymore given how few of them there are, but that doesn't mean that they should spend it alone.

The location of their setup is the greenhouse! ...The greenhouse has had a new addition; there is a massive blanket fort set up using an absurd amount of rope, blankets, and duct tape. The blankets span across three trees to make a considerable amount of space roughly shaped like a triangle for them to hang out under. Under the fort is a small pile of scissors taken from the sewing and art rooms. Next to them are a couple of flower crowns. They're relatively simple and don't involve many different flowers, but they're good examples of what the pile of scissors are there for.

There's also food, of course; a blanket is laid out on the floor with a large set of plates, a massive amount of eggs and rice, some of Elda's spicy fries, and... Sandwiches. Jasper's made everyone sandwiches, and the sandwiches are absolutely absurd in size due to how many cold cuts she's stacked into them. But don't worry! They aren't all meat. There's a lot of mustard, too. Luckily, they're still of a reasonably edible size.]

A drawing might work. I'm not so great at art, though. ...she probably wouldn't mind it though, if it was from me.

[elepe]

They always say that it's the thought that counts. I'm certain she'll be complimented--she always seemed like the type to appreciate sweet gestures.

[foundfate]

She is, yeah.

...you don't think the Wordsmith is going to block our letters, do you?

[elepe]

[That manages to get a flinch from Lusamine, causing her to prick herself on one of the flowers she was using. Ow. But--]

I certainly hope not. But...I'm more worried about something I spoke to Mr. Munechika about. Before he was executed.

[It's not a good question, it really isn't. But...]

I'm worried about them.

[foundfate]

What did he say?

[He's worried now too, good job Lusamine.]

[elepe]

It's...not something he said. It's something I asked about.

Whether or not Mr. Munechika's attempt would be enough to save them or not...I...he said that it should, but...

[foundfate]

You think that, because he didn't succeed, the incentive might not have worked?

[He. Hadn't considered that.]

[elepe]

...Regrettably, yes. That's what I'm most worried about. I want to think that it was enough, but...

[She's gripping that flower crown super hard, threatening to tear it apart.]

What if we made the wrong decision?

[foundfate]

We didn't.

[He is very quick to say that.]

...we can see in a day or two, though. We've been getting letters from them, so we just have to wait and see if we get more letters.

[elepe]

Right. Forgive me for the scare.

[She's not letting go of that grip on the flower crown, though.]

...I'm still scared.

[foundfate]

...

[He doesn't like being vulnerable like this, but.]

Me too.

[elepe]

...It's an awful feeling. To think that he could do something like that, it's...

[Lusamine looks away.]

I can't accept the fact that they could be lost. I don't know what I would do...
