[Oh... Seeing the flower gives her a pause.]

...A Lily of the Valley. ...Basil always did say it reminded him of Mari. They're supposed to ward off evil spirits and help people see a brighter future.

[He'd given them each flowers - grown them, too, among all the other plants he loved so much.

She turns to set it on Mari's grave, kneeling before the headstone for a moment.]

...Hey, Mari. Sorry it's been a while. A lot of... really crazy, messed up stuff has happened.

[Her fights with Kel and Sunny. ...Her fight with Basil. And that’s not even getting into everything that’s happened here.]

But... you don't need to worry about me. I think... I'll be okay.

[Especially if all the people gathered here right now are any indication.]

( mafuyu doesn't intrude on this moment- it seems important. but once aubrey's done, mafuyu does crouch beside her hands pressed together... and she prays. )

[moodwrecker]

[Oh...

She waits until Mafuyu finishes her prayer, giving her a small nod of gratitude.]

...Thanks.

[beathollow]

( a prayer for mari, to rest. a prayer for basil and sunny, for safety. a prayer for aubrey, for peace.

...

she stops and rests against her knees, hands folded together as she glances at aubrey. )

It just seemed right.

How are you feeling?

[moodwrecker]

...Awful.

[For various reasons.]

...But better than before.

[beathollow]

That tends to be how it goes, yeah. ... Let's go back to the dorms. You've been through a lot today.

[moodwrecker]

...Yeah.

Thanks. ...For all this.

[beathollow]

... You don't need to thank me. But, I'd like to share some of my group's music with you. We aim for catharsis, so... I think maybe it might help...?

[moodwrecker]

[The suggestion surprises her, but after a moment she nods.]

...If you don't mind. I think I'd like that.

[beathollow]

Alright. After you rest, I'll bring my phone over.

[moodwrecker]

Sounds good.

...Thanks, Mafuyu.
