[ nods at that. ]

Yes, there was... It was him and Taair.

[ Should I tell her it was actually three groups...? ]

[sacredpath]

It was three?

[oh wait...]

I saw Koharu out the window, dressed up oddly, with Siffin... I assumed they were just taking a walk.

[trifocal]

It is a good thing that they were able to walk, but... it does seem that they too just returned from some distant place. Marcoh, as well.

[sacredpath]

[the entity must be getting angry with us.]

This is ridiculous. If it can't win by having us kill one another I suppose it might as well leave us all broken and bleeding so we can't help with trials.

[trifocal]

Truthfully, I am still not sure what "winning" would look like, for the entity...

[ but she turns her attention to shadowheart. ]

How bad are your wounds?

[sacredpath]

...Bad, but I have a healing item I intend to use.

[she's just been waiting to see if anyone is, like, dying.]

[trifocal]

You do? [ her eyes light up a bit at that. ]

I have not seen such an item myself, but I heard mention of it before... Will you use it now, then?

[sacredpath]

Yes, but this particular one won't work right away.

[she will take out a paste and show it to her.]

I need to apply it, and it will then take some time before it heals me, but at the least I will not die.

[trifocal]

... How much time, do you think?

[ How severe is that wound...?

Her gaze drifts to Shadowheart's stomach. ]

[sacredpath]

It stopped the worst of it already. Or else I would be dead.

[it was a bad wound!]

A few days, and it should be better.

[trifocal]

[ oh yikes. ]

I... I see.

Please let me know should you need anything else. It seems you really should not try to move around for some time...

week 7; friday

[sacredpath]

[sometime during the day before movie night shadowheart can be found just around the mansion. waving to eupha.]

How are you feeling? [did she even drink.]

[trifocal]

[ she did but probably got drunk off of one drink and then slept it off... she looks inexplicably bright-eyed and energetic the next day. ]

I'm quite well, thank you! How are you?

[sacredpath]

I'm alright.

[she's also bright-eyed, though not necessarily energetic.]

Feeling a little too aware of the end in sight.

[trifocal]

... Oh...

Yes, I suppose Judgment Day may be the last time we will all be together.

[sacredpath]

...Sorry if that was an unwelcome thought.

[trifocal]

No, it's all right. There's no avoiding the facts of the matter. I am going to miss everyone dearly, though.

[sacredpath]

As will I. I'm not used to having so many people I care to say goodbye to.

[trifocal]

You have quite the battle ahead of you, don't you? Will you be all right...?

[sacredpath]

Oddly, I feel more confident about that battle than I do about however things will end here.

[trifocal]

You do?

While things may look unstable, the situation still seems to be in our favour. The Entity and their collaborator are contained, after all...

[sacredpath]

I know. And while I do not know if I trust that nothing will go wrong, it is more the idea of ending things and continuing on. Rather than the specifics of what might await after.

[trifocal]

Ending things... yes, I suppose so.

If we do not get the chance to say so after tomorrow... I would like to say that I am glad that I met you, Shadowheart.

[sacredpath]

[warm feelings at that, a smile.]

I'm glad I met you, too. I imagine you will probably go on to do wonderful things, and I think, trying to find a purpose for myself, I will always think of you.

[trifocal]

When you do, it may be because I will be keeping you and your journey in my prayers.

[ smiling back. ]
