week four | mingle

[marriagebroker]

Final week at the estate! Final week with your friends. Final week with your beaus. Time to make the most of it, everyone!

In fact, to celebrate this fact, today there is a cake. It's nothing special, just a nice little cake to enjoy with your morning coffee or throughout the day. Yay, cake!

And when Wei Wuxian arrives that morning, he is going to call out once again for everyone to join him, near the cake.

"Everyone, I have another announcement!"

Hell yeah, announcements.

[ Gently, she reaches out to brush away that single tear with a curled finger, her smile sympathetic. ]

Mm... it's taken me being here to realize that.

[ She hums in acknowledgment of Furina's question, reaching up to pet her hair now with her tear wiped away. Soothing, comforting strokes, like this is Furina's tale, and not hers. She gets the sense some of its weight is shared. ]

I was tired, when I arrived... it's been hard for me to understand why I was the only one left. And starting over would feel like leaving them behind. [ Why her? Why did she have to be so alone? Why couldn't she have left with all of them, all those years ago? But, if she had... then she wouldn't have gotten to meet with all of them, or share this burden with the girl across from her. She wouldn't be able to be here, catching one of her tears. ] But... you're right. I think they would rather I walk forward and be happy, however I can.

[ a beat. ]

It's easier said than done, isn't it?
