don't wait for a knight in shinin' armor, your savior's reflected in the mirror
[That sure was a fucking thing. That execution was a fucking thing. Those secrets are a fucking thing.
Cabanela retreats to his room, but not for all that long. Everyone will get a note eventually, written in very neat handwriting
I do not plan on bowing down to threats and intimidation. If you did not act, it means you were, like me, aware of the risk, but decided against it. Your reasons are entirely your own.
Join me in the dining room if you agree enough is enough, and that you won't acquiesce to threats. I don't plan to let this stop me, and neither should you.

In the dining room itself, Cabanela has set up coffee and tea for those who want it-- there's no food, because to be honest, he doesn't know how to cook. Two more candles have been lit-- he wasn't really sure what to do about the whole... parasite thing... so Fern's candle will have to make due.]

I wouldn't say you're a replacement for my mother, or anything like that. That'd both imply that she was in my life for long enough to impact it, and that...well, I know what having one really feels like.
It's nice, honestly. A bit silly, sometimes, but nice. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

... I'm not Green, here.
[ she breathes that out before she can stop herself, feeling the leaden ball in her stomach. ]
... I do care about you, girl. Remember it well.

[Sayaka lifts her head a bit, and...smiles, genuinely.]
I will. I think even with everything going on, it's hard to forget. You know?
no subject
But despite herself, well... ]
Green was too young to be shouldering what she liked to think she ought to.
[ Too young, too impulsive, too stupid, clearly. And she had suffered so much before now... The woman might well have been cursed, honestly.
no subject
Mmm. It probably came with having her son, wouldn't you say? She grew up too quickly, and it left her with so much stress on top of...all of that.
[...the shit she had going on, basically. Jesus christ, Fern.]
no subject
Even so.
[ She... she shakes her head ]
I've gotten far too old if I'm sad over that cretin.

[She pauses a bit.]
Did you know Fern-san very well?

... Yes. Deeply so. She's to young to be so uppity, she projected about everything. But she's also too young to have suffered what she had. It's... impossible to think of her some other way.
no subject
...I think I understand. She could be a little overbearing, but...sometimes it's a result of circumstances, and how people adapt to it, I think.
[She doesn't want to be cruel to her memory of Fern. She was a good person, who didn't deserve...any of that.]
no subject
... She doesn't want to talk about Fern. She doesn't want to think about Fern. But she can't get the damned Green woman out of her head. She wishes it could feel more like a win than it did. ]
... I swore I'd caught her back there. That felt good, after all the trouble she'd given me.
