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 are lucky to have you, at least in as far as anyone can be "lucky" in this place. Not that I am pleased to have anyone here.

But I should not keep you from the others. Not when you are doing such good work.

[themuseabandonsyou]

Thanks. I'm just... I'm doing my best. If you're sure you'll be okay, I'll go for now, but you don't mind if I come and check on you again later, right?

[ It... seems like she might kind of need it. ]

It's not bad or a sign of weakness to admit you need help, sometimes.

Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow

But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on

[She sways just a little, maybe to the music or maybe just because her balance is shot. But she looks... certainly better than she did a few minutes prior.]

For it won't be long
Till you're gonna need
somebody to lean on

[She starts to take a step back.]

I... Will be in the Nurse's office tonight, I think. Or outside. Somewhere that is not Broadhurst. Not today.

[ Orpheus nods, solemn and understanding. ]

I'll see you there. Be sure to drink plenty of water? I don't think you drank enough to get hungover, but it's good to do just in case, especially if you're not used to alcohol.

[mayavericks]

Mm, yeah. [She gives a nod.]

I always do. But thank you.

[She gives a little bow. Stumbles in the process but... rights herself and scurries away.]
