I dreamed of a world so far from here that's not on the map
To my Fellows,
What is "good" and what is "evil" is something that can be debated for longer than most of you will ever live, as is the nature of men. These debates are without meaning in my eyes. Despite that man's belief, men are not born to be good or evil, and what flaws they have in personality or character are things that can be overcome through their choices. Both for better and, as we've seen, for worse.
Life is not without suffering, but I should hope that every one of you is loved by someone. Loves someone. Many of you probably know that some of those loved ones are entering into an experience similar to our own. The terror of that is an undeniable sword which hangs above our heads.
Do not isolate yourselves, and hold onto what belief will best inspire you. And if you wish to join us for another one of these gatherings, meet us in the dining hall at 8PM.
Sincerely yours,
Elda Marker
PS: Those who can taste will once more provide food.
[ Well that sure is a lot of words which is being put under your doors, put on the fridge, and generally distributed around. It... uh, sure is a letter? It's in the same impossibly perfect cursive as last week, and is written with an almost angry bravado. Because even if she was vindicated at the end there, she was vindicated by a (by his own admission) evil priest. So. That feels bad.
Anyway, with some effort, the dining hall (which now has a lot of candles at Cabanela's little shrine, even with adding the two more here) is filled with food: Susan's got the booze as usual but also a big pot of mac and cheese. Adelina's done her noble best with some finger sandwiches. Yuri's brought some sweets that Estelle might've made. As for Elda, well, she still basically can't cook, so what she provides instead is:
A few board games including a Settlers of Catan, Sorry, and Candyland knock off. I guess we're playing games. Or at least she's suggesting it, who knew? ]

I love my father. To me, there was no one more splendid, and he was everything I wanted to be. But mages live their lives expecting their own deaths, and he passed ten years ago. As the current head of the Tohsaka family, I'm sure he'd be cross if I came to his rescue at risk to myself and our legacy, when there's no place for him in the world anymore.

That is bullshit. Any father would be happy to see their daughter, especially if their daughter had grown into a wonderful young woman and was the one doing the rescuing.
If you think he would feel anything besides pride for you, you're wrong.

[...]
I'm constantly surprised by answers like that, but maybe I'm the strange one. I'd personally find it traumatic.

[Luca is pretty sure that things would change the moment she saw him, so getting her to go along is important. Even if it's for another purpose at first.]
no subject
...Yes. I don't like the idea of these people taking whoever they please for this nonsense, and least of all someone who should have nothing to do with this. Of course I'll help you find him.
no subject
Thank you, I appreciate the help. It is a lot for one person to do.
[But hey, they get to rescue multiple people! Hopefully.]

It'll probably take a lot of time explaining the situation to the hostages when we find them, too. I can help with that as well, and... Maybe get a few words in with father, afterwards. It's selfish, but I think I'd be really happy if I could do just that.
