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 💗

You don’t even know what I’m thanking you for. [She lays there and stares at him blankly. Then offers a facade of a smile as he touches her arm, and she sits up.]

[disharmonizes]

Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure it was no problem at all.

[And he smiles a little, maybe a tad forced right now, but, you know. They can be fake smile buds.]

Besides, I do a lot of things worth being thanked for. I am pretty great.

You didn’t yell at me for fighting Maya. [She hesitates. Deep down, she probably knows she’s wrong—- but it’s later before she gets to that point. Instead, she just shrugs.]

Even Salieri tried to tell me I was wrong.

[disharmonizes]

Ah, that...

[That. Boy, that was a lot, yes.]

Whether she was right or not, it was... aggressive. I'm usually a fan of conflict, but... [Disharmony isn't nearly as fun right now.] Well. What she was saying was all very logical.

I'm just not one for logic.

[There, that's better, that's something that doesn't feel as against his nature.]

[Farrah snorts and rolls her eyes.]

Yeah, that’s it. Well, someone has to advocate for my bad behavior. Might as well be you.

[disharmonizes]

If nothing else, I'm an expert at being a terrible influence.

Besides, how boring would the world be if everyone was perfect?
