at the end of the river, the sundown beams

[destage]

[Well...that trial was most certainly a thing, now wasn't it.

It's probably a while after the trial that some notes will be going underneath people's doors, written in a nice, clean scrawl--]

For anyone who hasn't gotten anything to eat, there will be food and refreshments provided in the dining room courtesy of Estelle-san and I. Feel free to take as much as you need.

Please stay strong, everyone.

♥ Estelle and Sayaka

[True to the word, there's plenty of food to go around--potato stew courtesy of Estelle, and curry courtesy of Sayaka. There's coffee and tea out as well, for anyone to drink, and...well, it's more or less an optional thing. After today, some might need it.]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind, then.

[Sayaka beams a bit, even though it's forced. She'll get the milk--when Estelle gets the glasses out, she'll start pouring it in once they're nice and steady.]

I'd love the help, though. It'd be nice to do something for everyone again--we could make a nice, big batch of them.

[firstaid]

It would be nice. Keeping the morale up is important, especially after all that's happened. [She's weirdly decided on this role. One may never know why, but here she is.]

Wallowing in this sadness, I believe it's the last thing we should do.

[She refuses to give into this even if she's fighting it herself.]

[destage]

...You're right. It's a good example to set for people.

[It's what they're supposed to do, and what this is supposed to do. But the way Sayaka states it is far more...distant.]

We need to be determined.

[firstaid]

[It's okay. Estelle can understand why anyone would sound distant. It's a large task to take up, but she's determined to take it. All for completely selfish reasons of just distracting herself, but at least there's a positive outcome that it may help others.]

Right, determination will be key. We can't let this get to us, no matter how sad it is. We must keep fighting.

[destage]

[...Well, by this point she's got both of their glasses full--she'll take one and pass it to Estelle.]

I know Caren-san wouldn't want us to give in, if nothing else.

[firstaid]

Right, she really wouldn't!

[She'll take her glass and start heading to her room. Once again, she's grateful her room is stupidly close to the kitchen.]

So in her memory, we'll continue fighting.

[destage]

[Sayaka is to, honestly.]

It'd be disrespectful to do otherwise. And...Caren-san deserves that sort of respect. It's better than remembering what...happened, down there.

[firstaid]

Indeed. While I won't forget what happened, I also don't want to continually have to remember it. I think it's healthy to put distance between ourselves and what happened.

[Move on, but never forget.]

oh goddammit i missed this

[destage]

[...]

That's...a good point, but...I don't think I'm going to forget what was done here for a long time, and what happened to Caren-san.

lol you're fine!

[firstaid]

I'm rather sure none of us will. However, I believe the important part is that none of us should want to forget. Even if sad things happen, I think we must remember them so we don't repeat such events.
