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 💗

[Elsa tries to smile as he looks up, but it's barely a shadow. None of it reaches her eyes, which just look exhausted.]

I'm only returning the kindness you've given all of us these past weeks. After... after everything, you deserve to have someone take care of you, Salieri.

[the warmth starts to seep in through his hands, and there's something intrinsically comforting about tea. Now that she's close, Elsa can see what Salieri's been covering up with makeup for who knows how long, seeing as he's cried it all off at current. There are some very dark circles under his eyes and purplish bruising--the man looks like he hasn't had a good night's sleep in a very long while.

But at that, his expression softens, looking up at her. He's going to try valiantly to muster up a smile, and a bit of one appears, curling the corners of his mouth]

...I suppose it would be hypocritical of me to say that I can take care of myself, so I'll keep it to myself and simply thank you again. Though I will point out that you've been a kind, caring friend to me as well. [he reaches out to pat the seat next to himself, inviting her to sit]
