[ Oh.

They crouch, and start picking up some things. ]

I’ll help you.

[fetteredwings]

Thank you. I hope Y'shtola doesn't mind too much things are out of order.

[That said, Nala is stacking things firmly in alphabetical order like she's used to cleaning up. This sure is an awkward silence!!]

[siriuspuns]

[ That gets a chuckle out of them. ]

She might be annoyed, but I’m sure she’d understand if you talked to her. She’s… very dependable.

[ They place a couple things down. ]

Are you feeling a little better?

[fetteredwings]

I...think so? [She begins to file things because Y'Shtola is a gremlin in this way and has NO structure to her chaos. Somebody save her] I don't know what I'm feeling.

[She's still reeling from everything, the highs and lows of her emotions]

[siriuspuns]

[ Siffrin sure won’t because they’re just as gremlin. They’re setting it up however. ]

Yeah. That’s fair.

[ … ]

But I… did mean what I told you. I don’t think anyone blames you, either. Especially after you saved us.

[fetteredwings]

[ why won't this world let her do good smh

She nods, trying to get the books in order, her brow furrowing in concern]

... thank you, Siffrin. It means a lot, coming from you.

[ She bites her lip. She's not going to cry again]

You know what you said about labyrinths?

[siriuspuns]

Oh.

[ They turn a shade darker as they remember that, yup, they definitely did say that. ]

I, uh, yeah…

[fetteredwings]

Mine is more literal than you can imagine.

[ Heh. She smiles at Siffrin's expression and reaches over to smooth the ends of their hair. ]

I have a seal that has kept me trapped for decades. But hearing your words, I have hope now, I can get out.

[without doing anything wrong]

[siriuspuns]

[ He flinches at her sudden touch, but quickly relax as she fixes his hair. ]

I… don’t really have a hard time imagining it.

[ Because isn’t their timeloop one as well? ]

But I really hope that you’ll be able to escape, too. You deserve that, at the very least.

[fetteredwings]

...me too. Yuki wished the same for me, you know?

[She smiles, leaning against the table ]

I want you to escape this hell, and the one you came from too. It would be nice if our wishes could be granted in kinder ways.

[siriuspuns]

I never believed that my wish could be granted by this, you know? A wish is what got me in this mess in the first place.

[ Whether it was Vaugarde's, they're not so sure anymore. But it was definitely someone's wish that got you trapped in here. ]

I'll get out of it with my own hands.

[fetteredwings]

...hah. [She closes her eyes] You're right. The one thing I wanted even more than my freedom can only be fixed by me. I hate the idea of someone else doing it for me.
