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.

[ Shoko looks back at the card that mentions the Spear of Longinus.

...rewrite reality to save the world... ]

And you saved the world... from what, exactly?

[scooptimistic]

Ending.

[ Well. ]

I can't really say it was me, since it was sort of my fault that the world ended in the first place. It was the kids who were with me who chose to make a different reality.

[irreversal]

[ Well yes from ending, Maya!! Shoko almost levels an unimpressed look at that, but thankfully Maya offers more without Shoko having to prod. ]

Ended? So the world had effectively ended, but the kids rewrote it?

[scooptimistic]

Yeah, it was a prophecy. So in order to undo all of that, they had to make a choice to forget each other. And me. And the events that had led up to this, including us meeting each other years ago.

[ It sounds almost like a Binding Vow. But... ]

...But you remember.

[scooptimistic]

Yeah. I was never supposed to.

I'm the only one who does, now.

Maya...

[ Shoko reaches out and rests a hand on her shoulder, her gaze holding no small amount of sympathy despite how it usually appears. ]

That's a heavy burden to hold all by yourself. How do you manage to keep looking up, despite that...?

[ She has often wondered this about some of the students, but... ]

[scooptimistic]

[ Maya offers up a smaller smile. ]

I'm incredibly stubborn. And I don't like to be told to give up.

[irreversal]

[ She chuckles, at that. ]

You must have gotten that from your dad, too?
