WEEK FIVE

Come Sunday morning, the portals around Estelline fade away, but not all of the oddities hanging around disappear so quickly. The recreations of your dreams and memories are still around, ever changing and shifting. Whatever it is that brought these things here hasn’t ended, not yet.

You don’t have time to worry about all of that, though, even if you know you should exercise caution once two of you found yourselves on the bad end of a monster’s claws. The course still isn’t over, though, even if the portals changed lesson plans. Everything continues on, with new places to explore as the fog pushes back once again. This week still feels a little more like what you’re familiar with, though, after Saturday’s lack of lessons.

...For now.

Answers are important too.

[ He thinks they might be on equal grounds with closure. ]

Do you mind sharing the question?

[ It might be personal, and with Ace here… he thinks Sabo might not be as inclined to share. ]

[vivens]

If I was there that day, would I have been able to save him?

[ it's definitely personal but since fai was there, there's no reason to hide it or skirt it. though he does keep avoiding looking at ace directly. (also ace would probably be nodding off in this thread anyway BECAUSE HOW COULD HE NOT COMMENT OTHERWISE.) ]

My partner had taken it upon herself to remind me how useless it was to think about it. [ he smiles a bit sadly. ] She wasn't always successful, of course.

[partymagician]

[ He smiles a little at that, knowing well what it's like to constantly wonder what would have happened if you did just one thing differently. ]

Are you satisfied with your answer?

[ Out of everything, he thinks that is the most important part. ]

[vivens]

I am.

[ sabo gives a single nod and chuckles softly. ]

Though now I have to decide what to do with the information that I've learned, but I think that will be a lot less troubling.

[partymagician]

You deserve that satisfaction.

[ Especially with how difficult that memory was. ]

I hope whatever you do ends up being an easy decision.

[vivens]

I'm not so sure it'll be an easy decision, but it won't be one that I'll find myself regretting. Whatever it ends up being what I decide on.

[ probably? looks into the camera. ]

[partymagician]

Well, if you need help making that decision, you’re free to come find me and talk it out.

[ Part of him wonders if this decision is… romantically inclined, but he won’t say so aloud. ]

[vivens]

[ who knows. though even if fai called him out on it, sabo probably wouldn't be able to give him an answer anyway. ]

Thank you, Fai. If I find myself struggling, I'll keep that in mind.

[partymagician]

Good.

[ He twirls his goggles around his finger. ]

I’ll be more than happy to remind you too. But for now, I think I’ll take my leave.

[ He gives Sabo a wave as he heads back into the hall. ]
