FINAL TRIAL

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...

[maybe they didn't part on the best of terms, but a lot has happened since then, and Akira isn't the type to hold grudges. she lifts his head and flashes her a smile, lopsided and exhausted but grateful, as he pushes himself to his feet]

Makoto was very "on brand."

[latebluemer]

[She has no grudges at all, herself; it's just all awkward and messy and shuffled under the fog of war during the last weekend. They've both made more-or-less bad choices at this point and maybe in the end it evens out. Maybe eventually they'll sort out the details, but they've spent so long fixing other people's mistakes at this point that they all deserve a goddamn break.

He'll get a slight smile back, just as exhausted and relieved.]

I'm sure it helped.

[It's light, but what she really means is Makoto helped and by extension You helped and at the end of the day it's important in an oblique sort of way.]

... It really fits you surprisingly well, though.

[She's not talking about the theme this time?? It's seriously tailored or something. Hm.]
