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 💗

[Elle wants to say something like "We'll save the next one!" or "We'll get out of here before it can happen again!" but she just...can't.

So she doesn't say anything, instead turning her face into the crook of Angus' neck and letting just a few tears out.]

[She doesn't have to speak; he knows how she feels. Unlike Elle, Angus has seen the death of many. But a billion is a statistic; seven is a tragedy. As she cries, he caresses the back of her head.]

I have saved nations before. I can save a few people.
