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 💗

[ Orpheus trembles, and Eurydice immediately abandons what she's doing. It doesn't matter -- what matters now is that Orpheus is hurting, which is itself an injustice. She crosses the distance, taking him into her arms. She can't shelter him from the grief, no matter how much she wants to, but hopefully, she can make it a little more bearable. ]

I know. I know. It's okay. You can rest, for a minute. You don't have to be standing up all the time.

[ There's not really anywhere to sit in the kitchen, so Orpheus just... leans against the wall and sinks to the floor, all that energetic rage gone from him and replaced with despair. ]

What can we do? [ he asks, almost so quiet as to be inaudible. ] What can we do? The Wizard is a god to us, here. Maybe even more than that. How can we fight this?
