You don’t have to. We don’t need to do more. But maybe I’ll use my power to make it look like Ruby is wearing a clown outfit and she won’t know she looks like that and it’ll be really funny.
[she says this with obvious exhaustion and frustration just damn it she’s going to prank Ruby for points even if they should just be the winners now and get everyone back.]
[she has lost her faith that they can make everyone hallucinate happiness. The only thing that slightly worked was the ice cream and then the graveyard doxxed them like it was “gross” and “weird” instead of cute.
pixi and Becks you do not know this lore ic they’re taking the ice cream secret to their graves.]
Kaveh canondescription "an aesthete troubled by reality" Kavehson would never say that, but he does come over here and take one of each of their hands, squeezing.]
The worst is over. [Firmly.] We'll see them again soon. And we'll be here with you until the end.
[Even if they were the ones who took up this mantle on their own, he doesn't want to put anything else on their shoulders.]
They don't? [Hunh, interesting. He hadn't even thought about that part, honestly.] Well, I'm glad you used it. I got a letter from Nahida, and it sounds like using them is important for getting them back.
Maybe. I don't know for sure, but she wouldn't have urged us to keep using ours if it wasn't beneficial to everyone. She said...
[He will dig out his phone to check the exact wording.]
"I think the easiest way to explain why it's important is to think about one of the ideas we had earlier on. What we were told about it is still true - it doesn't work the way we'd hoped it would. But it's still important to make use of as many things at our disposal as we can."
I'm not sure exactly what she means by an earlier idea, but my best guess is that we'd hoped to be able to transfer our points to you. So it could be something along those lines... they might've found a way to make use of everyone else's points after all. [Or maybe it's just wistful thinking.]
I'm sure they do. Shenhe said they had a plan a little while ago--she's not the type to say that without reason.
[And, yeah. His belief in their efforts is a good chunk of what's helped him keep it together. The rest of it has been looking out for them and Justice, but he's not going to say that. Haru and Ylfa have so much on their shoulders already.]
I'm a little surprised it didn't end today. I kind of expected it to.
[But a small part of him is glad it didn't, after how terrified he'd been for Livio. They all need a little time to rest, he thinks.]
Yeah. Gerard and Nahida both made it sound like they have an idea over there. So that's what I'm hoping for.
[she nods.]
Kiichi told me that the erasures are over now, but we can still do some things to get points, and we'd find out more tomorrow. But he said the rankings are probably not going to change.
"I don't think we need to be worried about a tie, so that's good. But... we were warned that things may grow chaotic very soon, and then we were warned by someone on your side, who received a coded message after a special mission, that someone who should not know, knows. While I don't know how closely these two things are correlated, please be careful and keep yourself safe.
We're near the end. We just have to make sure there isn't too much scrutiny on the results."
Haru, did you get a message after you came back? Did it say the same thing?

We'll have to see what happens tomorrow. It's been seven weeks.
