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

[She...hadn't thought of that, honestly. So many vampire myths have been debunked here, by Elda herself, and she knows they've talked about the sun, at least in a one-off, off-hand sense, but any actual thought, she hadn't...]
Yes, that is something to think about...but I'm sure...it's something that can be managed. ...and it's hard to plan for anything now, anyway.
no subject
[ Promised future or no, right after they killed Mikazuki and Orihime was killed herself? It seems... not quite insensitive, but ...
Well, it's probably not right to delve too deep into the differences between diurnal and nocturnal people in couples. No. Besides, she- She shakes her head and nudges the crown on her head. ]
... So who will wear those hairpins you took from her?
no subject
No one. I... I'm simply keeping them safe, for her. Orihime, she... She didn't specify that she wanted anyone to wear them. They're an important...memento for her, so...I'm just keeping them safe.
no subject
[ . . . Apparently symbolic accessories can be passed off like that??? ]
no subject
[Because they have to. They have to.]
I'll speak with her then, okay?

no subject
[ She hums, reaching up to her head to touch the crown Hanyuu put there. ]
Now, I had best collect my plan for Estelle. I'll meet you in the room, tonight?
no subject
I'll...be waiting for you there.
no subject
Elda has talked with basically everyone she wanted to by now, including an extended stay with Estellise were she got the girl drunk on accident. ... Oops. There's actually a little wine on Elda's breath as a result, even if she didn't have any effects from the alcohol. Which was probably a good life lesson to learn all things considered. That rules out Killia's cocktail, or perhaps she just needed something stronger?
... Well, she'll think on it later. Once in the room, assuming it's unlocked, she'll kinda shut the door behind her and look for her girl. Or if it is, she'll knock ]
no subject
The flower crown sits on the desk as well, next to Alani's flower, soaking in a bowl of water.]
How...did it go?
no subject
[ Elda's crown was still on her head. she takes it off as she comes into the room. ]

[ elda says this as she strips down out of her current clothes to put on the pain splattered ones she uses as jammies Silver made for her ]
no subject
We've all had our share.
no subject
... Hanyuu. Indulge me by allowing me to speak without your response until I finish, alright?
no subject
Of course. I will sit here, and I will listen.
1/3 I HOPE THIS MAKES YOU FEELS
No, no, I should not put words in your mouth. I will not assume you could know, but I will also not assume ignorance either.
[ Now dressed, she glides towards the bed. She's hanging her head a little. ]
... I was going to apologize that I held you back from what duties you feel you must fulfill. How... How unlike me, I know. But it is the truth. But I--
TW: Suicide talk from here on
I know that you cannot help but see what happened today as there being two deaths where there could be one! I know that you hold their sins and their regrets and I know that even now some part of you wishes that you could go back and have killed yourself back then! Do not think to deny it, I at least know you that well, to imagine some regrets that you have deep within your heart!
Lusamine said I must confront you! I... I still do not feel prepared to say this! Silver said I ought not forgive you, and I do not think I am capable of such a thing, when it comes to someone I love! But I-
I am terrified, Hanyuu! I always knew I would die before James, that man was soft in all of the ways I admired and I knew he would starve for it, someday, if I could not keep him alive. I knew, I knew! But I cannot endure that again- no, I will not endure that again!
[ She yanks at her hair, tears going down her face - hot, angry tears born out of this terror ]
Because as long as you think that, I know that it is possible, and that you could leave me behind-
3/3
I will not be left behind twice! I don't know how much someone like me can trust a promise you will not think that way again, when I've already doubted your proclamation of love for me's ability to stop it. But I- [ Inhale. ] I swear to you, that I refuse to be apart from you! If ever you die, Hanyuu, I will follow you to that side, I promise that is what I will do!
It will still be two, so bear that- In mind!
1/2 IT MADE ME FEELS ALRIGHT
"I don't want to go to a world where I'm alone!"
Hanyuu stands, about the point where Elda collapses to her knees. She makes to go to her, but she's paralyzed, positively, when she realizes where this is going.
"We promised each other we would stay together until we beat our destiny!!"
That what she'd once feared, so fiercely, from Rika, those are the feelings stirring in Elda--
"You don't understand."
In an almost jerky motion, she lurches forward and grabs Elda's hands. That statement- it terrifies her. It throws so much of her, fills her to the brim with a cold, cold feeling, like an icy hand grabbing and twist twist twisting her heart. But Elda... Elda is warm. So she holds tight.]
I- I won't-- I won't, ever- n-never, I swear-- I'll never...! I won't!
2/2
I'm sorry... I'm sorry...! I'm so, so sorry! I-I'll erase all that regret, I- I'm...! I'm sorry...!
[Now it's the two of them crying.]
no subject
[ That said, she's squeezing that hand back just as strongly. If not stronger. Even when she's terrified and sobbing, giving voice to things she never, ever wanted to say, Elda Marker is too selfish by half. she greedily holds on to whatever she wanted, and she can't bring herself to give up.
Hell, even that promise she made isn't giving up.
Not here. Right? It was throwing her lot in with Hanyuu's lot. ]
I never wanted to do that.
no subject
[It's so much, and she needs to take it all in, but...
They really are similar, aren't they?]
Pl-please... Please, talk to me...when you need to...about these things. [She wringes one of her hands free and reaches it up, to touch Elda's cheek. The sleeve falls back, revealing...names, so many names written on. From those still living here to names Elda won't recognize, save for two - Rika, and Satoko.]
no subject
She... ]
I love you. I'm sorry. I love you.
[ - ]
You scared me so much.
no subject
I know. I-I know... I'm sorry... I never want to...scare you like that again. T-to scare anyone like that again.
