WEEK SIX

Sunday starts with more aches and pains than you might be used to. Florence patched people up after Saturday’s lesson, sure, but it’s not a complete cure - not to mention it doesn’t ease the sting of betrayal. Some classmates that you thought would cooperate wound up breaking your trust in the end, and this week will be interesting with the fallout.

It’s hard to say what this week will have in store otherwise. Things are changing, and it’s not clear what this means for all of you. On the bright side, however, the creatures and places you once knew from home have suddenly disappeared, so that's less that you need to worry about. There are new areas for you to look at as well.

[ A quick grin as a thank-you for the well wishes. He's not sure if he can handle an overabundance of happiness - and the idea is already stressing him out - but he can settle for an overabundance of contentment, maybe. ]

You're good at that, aren't you? Encouraging, but in an easy-going manner. Never pushy. I don't have to feel like my boundaries are being tested. [ Though some would say that's a bad thing. But it's just comfortable the way their conversations go. ]

[ He smiles softly to himself. ]

Well, I've got three kids, you know. I've had to learn how to balance things with them, encouraging for them to grow while making sure I don't push them so far that they're overwhelmed.

[cloudalike]

Three!?

[ BUT HE LOOKS SO YOUNG? ]

[partymagician]

Three! A girl and a boy that are only a couple of years younger than you, and a fluffy creature.

[ So. Not really his kids. ]

We met while traveling, but they really do feel like my children now.

[cloudalike]

[ Ohhh. Alright, that makes more sense. Even the part where Fai's apparently adopted a fluffy creature as his child, which reminds him of the Traveler with Paimon. He misses them. ]

... They must miss you dearly then.

[partymagician]

I hope so.

[ His low self esteem doesn't let him believe that they really do. ]

I miss them quite a bit. Before I knew it, I was attached to them.

[cloudalike]

If you’re like a father to them, I find it hard to believe how they couldn’t miss you. [ It’s simply impossible to fathom. ] I know I will miss you.

[ He wilts a little, saying that. Then immediately perks up earnestly. ]

You chose them to be your family and I’m sure they would choose you back again and again.

[partymagician]

Ah... that would be nice.

[ And a small part of him wants to believe that they really would choose him again.

...It's unfortunate that he's sure he'll die if he were to go back, though. He doesn't want to upset Chongyun, so he decides not to say it. ]

I'll miss you as well, Chongyun.
