Oh. I'm sorry for waking you.

Were you here reading all night?

[flameguard]

[ ooogh. he rubs his eyes as he comes back to reality. was he here all night. ]

....Mm... no... No, I... must've just dozed off. [ wild. rondo smiles, though, warm if not tired, sheepish. ] I guess that book must've lost my interest.... how embarrassing...

Thank you for waking me up...

[sootprints]

[ gently rubs his back. ]

It's important to get a proper night's sleep. Especially on days like this.

[ it is thursday. ]

[flameguard]

[ sweet kate you are so good. he laughs a little bit, hand to his heart. ]

Believe me, I tried... I just had the strangest dream last night. I woke up from it in a start while it was still dark out, and wasn't able to get back to sleep afterwards.

[sootprints]

A strange dream?

What was it about?

[flameguard]

[





looks into the camera like this is the office ]

.... Um... nothing you want to hear about.... trust me. Just... rest assured it was very strange.

[sootprints]

Oh... so it was something intimate, then.

[flameguard]

[ KATE YOU'RE TWELVE

HIS ENTIRE FACE GOES RED ]

No! [ squeaks ] No, no, it wasn't - it wasn't like that! It was just - strange, I think maybe my subconscious was stuck on the debate game yesterday? But it was more.... bizarre.... than...anything like that.....

[sootprints]

[ she just laughs softly at his reaction. ]

Oh... I see.

... I am curious, though. There was someone else who mentioned having a strange dream last week. I wondered if there was some special meaning to it.

[flameguard]

...really...?

[ he's not alone in whatever that nightmare was..... ] Maybe... I think I'd almost feel better about it if it was some kind of curse or something...

[sootprints]

So what was it about?

[flameguard]

[ KATE ]


Nooooo......

[sootprints]

But what if it turns out to be an important clue?

[flameguard]

I don't think - I don't think a wedding is an important clue........

[sootprints]

Whose wedding!?

[flameguard]

[ mumbles ]

[sootprints]

[ leaning in. tugging on his sleeve to pull herself closer. straining her shadowy little ears. ]

Who?

[flameguard]

[ well i havent done anything with this all week so the compulsion to blurt out secrets kicks in and its: ]

IhadaweirddreamthatmeandMarinaweregettingmarriedbuthtenwehadtodosomethingweirdtoactuallygetmarriedandthenIwokeup!

[sootprints]

[ a scandalized gasp! ]

[flameguard]

[ ALSO GASPS

WHY IS HE SURPRISED ]

-- You, you, you can't tell anyone, don't tell anyone!

[sootprints]

[ pats his arm. ]

It was just a dream. It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

[flameguard]

[ facehands ]

If you say so, Miss Kate... [ mortifying ] At any rate, I don't think it was relevant to anything... maybe it was just my subconscious after yesterday's odd debate events... either way, it startled me awake so badly I slept poorly.

[ someone out there just trolled me with a weird dream is what fckin happened when i get you whoever you are ]

[sootprints]

Try to rest and refresh a little before the evening, all right?

[ she says, not knowing what the mingle is about to do ]

... By the way, have you come across any new information?

[ mercifully changing the subject. ]

[flameguard]

[ today is such a things happens on days kind of day

he nods, rubbing his face. god. though the sweet and merciful kate changes the subject, and he tilts his head, and then seems to ! ]

Oh! Actually - yes, I have something! I wasn't sure - we had a plan to spread it out to the different places, and I wasn't sure if Mr. Daan had gotten his part out yet. Here.

[ rondo digs through his pile of books and pulls out his bestiary, then flips to the blank pages in the back. copied in his neat handwriting is the following:

—ter what happened today, I don't think you could call this place safe by any stretch of the imagination. We've seen it react now in nearly a hostile way to our presence, and I don't know how long we can stay. Even so, the fact that it exists at all is beyond my expectation.

I suspect some of them want to reach out and make contact with the others, to ease their grief. I understand. But on the other hand, the cult realizing that this place exists—that there might be any space, no matter how small, that they cannot observe—would be catastrophic. What little safety and advantage we do have would be forfeit, and the cult is likely to wipe the slate clean and start over. And in truth, I have no proof that there's a way back.

So, is it worth hoping that they can keep a secret? Perhaps it is cruel, but I want to err on the side of caution.

Oh! Yuffie shared this with our household.

But... what do you think it means?
