Mafuyu is just getting home, and Mom is waiting to greet her. There's a frivolous exchange, and Mafuyu goes upstairs to her room while Mom announces she's going to get started on dinner.

...

It's so stifling in here, though. As she sets her bag on the desk, Mafuyu moves to open her window.

The bedroom door opens.

"Mafuyu? Is everything alright?"

Mafuyu jolts, eyes wide before she manages a smile.

"Yes, Mom. I just wanted some fresh air."

"... Alright. You've probably got a lot of homework, so you should get started."

And then she's gone, and Mafuyu's alone.

The blue light looks at Celeste.

...

You aren't the one that I need.

[cirquedesang]

[Yeah, hate that memory. But he'll address the blue light anyway.]

Who is? Maybe I can bring them to you.

[beathollow]

It's rage that I need. Righteous fury. You are someone who wants to know and be known.

[cirquedesang]

I see.

[...Hey, the angry little girlypop with the bat is here, so.]

Miss, would you come to the window?

[moodwrecker]

Hm? What is it?

[Going to come check out the window!]

[beathollow]

The blue light circles Aubrey before settling before her. She'll feel... strong. Protective.


Furious.

Anger that is used to hurt others is useless. We are righteous fury. Stand strong against the Queen- you are fangs for a reason.

[moodwrecker]

[Oh, so it's just enhancing how she already felt.]

...Of course I will. But where is she?

[beathollow]

The theater. But you have to enter the web.

[moodwrecker]

The web? What web?

[IS THERE A SPIDERWEB IN HERE SHE ISN'T SEEING?]

[beathollow]

In the heart of the castle. You'll find it when everyone is ready. Hold on to that anger. I'm with you.

[moodwrecker]

[She makes a frustrated noise because she wants to find her now, but she does give a terse nod.]

Okay. I'll trust you.

We'll find her. I promise.
