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 came across her on Thursday evening. She had a great deal to drink. I walked her back to her room, but I should have offered to stay with her to be certain she did not leave again.

[Oh. Well, that's.]

It's not like you left her out on her own. Walking her back is as much as anyone would expect you to do. I doubt she would have wanted you to stay, anyway...

Even if she did not want me to... It might have kept her safe.

[She shakes her head as if to clear it.]

I don't mean to burden you with this. I'm certain you're right.

You can't be responsible for everybody, you know. Maybe she would have just left when you were asleep. And...it wouldn't have stopped White killing someone else.
