No outright changes this week either. Week three rolls around, braced for impact as ever. The estate is still intact, the contestants are still motivated, things are looking good.

Well, aside from the fact you all had a blackout this weekend. That wasn't so good.

Either way, when Monday rolls around, Wei Wuxian seems to be in a cheery mood as he greets everyone Monday morning.

"Everyone, come here, come here. I have an announcement!"

Better go see what that's about, huh?

Odile might find her proximity to Yingying to be fleeting or secondary, but Yingying doesn't tend to view things in absolutes, nor in rankings. Also, at this point in the competition, the place at which she's set everyone is quite level — she can be rational and self-aware, unclouded by her own personal feelings.

So, if Odile sought the shade at another time, it would be there. Even if she ceases to be on this plane. ]

If ever I go missing, just seek out the wisteria. Perhaps you won't see me, but I'll be among the blooms, watching over your summer regardless.

When the wisteria's long branches wave in the wind, the shuffle of their flowers will remind me of your laughter. In every leaf I shall find you.

[ Which does sound poetic, yes, but-- ]

An old Vaugardian tale describes the stars [ whatever those are ] as such, when a sailor finds themselves shipwrecked with an unusual companion -- one that has traveled far and wide to understand the world around himself. Rather than miss their little friend so terribly, whenever they look up they will remember the time spent together.

[ ... And so too, will Odile remember them. A little sentimental, perhaps, but her lowered voice does speak to how this is for Yingying and Yingying alone -- at least as far as the rest of the group goes. ]
