The sky shines differently today than it did yesterday

[Perhaps to the surprise of no one, there is no after party after that trial. Two children were dead. Two children were dead over a simple accident and the Wizard cared more about himself than anyone else. But they won't give up, they can't give up. They had to keep fighting until everything's been set right.

At the Lobby ofrenda later that night, there are six origami pieces accoupling the other memorials. A penguin, a rose, an octopus man, computer, a music note, and the last one are of a boy and girl holding hands. Along with that there is a plate of strawberry cupcakes with blueberry icing and a note that reads:]

There is still hope and love in the world

Never let The Wizard make you think otherwise 💗

We keep saying that we have the power, because we are united. But do we really? Even if we held off this week, who is to say that accidents will not continue to plague our time here?

I am not a pessimist, but... It gets harder to go on, each day.

I don't think it's right to say we have the power, but... what we do is affecting the Wizard.

[The way he lashed out at them... that had been a bit terrifying. But looking back on it now, Elsa's realizing that they can use that. Somehow.]

He's losing control... maybe not of us, but of himself. We just need to figure out how to use his slip to our advantage.

[Maya is quiet as she bundles all of her things together. After a second of thought, however -- ]

Hester as well. I don't want to suggest using her, but I suspect that there may be a weak link, there. Perhaps if we can show that we mean better for her than he does, she may be able to tell us something?

[Use her. Elsa understands what Maya means, but... something about that phrasing leaves a sour taste in her mouth.]

As long as whatever we suggest doesn't put her in danger. There have already been too many deaths here - we can't add hers to the list.

[mayavericks]

No, no. I would never.

[She actually looks pretty upset at that idea!]

I just... want her to be safe. And with people that actually value her as a person.
