FINAL TRIAL

[foundationmods]

TRIAL

After a very, very long six weeks, it has finally come. The last time everyone will need to trudge up those stairs and meet in the master suite. It's do or die time, and hopefully everyone knows what needs to be done by now.

As soon as the guests walk into the room, they will be able to smell the food that the chef has provided: duck l'orange, served up on a nice platter. Eat up everyone!

There are a few unexpected guests this time. A large group of the rats is here, and they show up in a swarm as they carry Gabe into the room, much like how they had carted him off to the Child Daycare last night. Once he is deposited in the room, Gabe will also stand up and remain there, crossing his arm and looking a bit standoffish.

They're not the only unexpected faces around here, though...

[she visibly relaxes, because she can finally see he's starting to understand. And there's even a soft smile on her face..] ... A little, yes.

You can be honest, I won't hit you again.

[Oh, right.]

That, er. That stuff I took, it'll grow back eventually. It wasn't enough to permanently damage you.

I was already planning on a long nap no matter what, but I appreciate the reassurance. [she pauses, and then tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.] Gabe-san... My sister hurt me in a similar way that you've hurt Ichigo. Apologizing will help, but you really will need to back up your actions with words. You do need to show him you care. I think you'll know the best way to do that.

If you mean in the long run, we'll see if I can even do anything after this. I'll probably end up in a containment cell for at least a little while.

Mmhm. Life isn't zero sum. It's not all or nothing. But I trust you'll find the answer. [ok, she's going to lean against a wall now]
