From the white lights, the darkness comes...

[sageking]

Today's trial was a mixture of regret, anger, guilt, and second-thoughts. Perhaps some people realized that situations and choices weren't to be black or white. However, decisions were made, and whether it'd be through people keeping secrets or causing a ton of chaos...everyone could probably agree on one thing:

They've made their choices and no matter what happened in the coming days, they will lie in the beds they made for themselves. Whatever that should mean for each and every single person still living here.

That being said, there's still new choices to make. In the days to come, what will those be?

[She's just watering them with the watering can she filched from the greenhouse, making sure to get the water on the roots instead of the leaves or petals. She notices him in the process of this, but makes sure to finish before she turns to him properly.

The pink roses seem to be doing alright at least.]

...Are you checking on everyone?

[ghostricked]

I guess it's a pattern by now, huh?

[oxidegreen]

Patterns help.

[It's why she's been taking care of the flowers.]

[ghostricked]

Huh. You're not wrong. I'd be too stressed if I just tried to sleep, knowing you were all still out here.

[oxidegreen]

Is it because you're worried about us?

[ghostricked]

Of course. Someone has to.

[oxidegreen]

...You're a really good cat.

[She sets down her watering can and sits on her bunk, patting the bedding next to her. Want to sit together for a little bit?]

[He hops up]

It's... I wasn't always. So don't give me too much credit.

[oxidegreen]

I'll give you credit for being so nice to me now.

[Petting him.]

[ghostricked]

Heh, it's that simple?

[oxidegreen]

It's not like...

It's not like I'm a nice person, either.

[So. Right now? It's enough.]

[ghostricked]

I guess it's like this: the 'Sissel' you know and the 'Marona' I know- they're good people. So it's okay.

[oxidegreen]

...

[She doesn't agree, so she'll just keep petting him.]

[ghostricked]

[He's content to just sit and be petted]
