All's well that ends well

[ So you've wished the dead back to life, but there's still 2 wishes you have to make. Ultimately what happens from here is entirely in your hands, but for the first time in eight weeks everyone is alive and whole again (even that pesky merman). There is that corruption you should deal with, but surely you know what to do about that.

Once you've settled and wound down a bit, maybe you should relax a bit before going your separate ways. You've earned it.

Ah, it's--it's nothing, honestly. I wish I could have done something better, really...

[ Like trapping him in the terrarium after all, or just zapping his powers but keeping him unsealed.

There's a pause. She's so used to denying compliments, but it actually feels....weird, now? ]

But, um, you are welcome.

Will you be alright, Majima? Relatively speaking.

[ majima nods. while he's definitely still sad for the teishu's position, he looks A LOT better now that everyone isnt dead and he's had some time to talk to nishitani. ]

I have a good Family at home, a lotta people who care about me.

[ there'll be lasting scars, like killing for the first time. but saejima and nishitani and kiryu and cuddles will be there for that.

and punches. many punches. ]

What about ya an' Furude-chan? Ya gonna be okay?

[aumygoddess]

That's good. Make sure to spend as much time with them as you can. [ though she probably didn't need to tell him that tbh ]

We've got a difficult challenge in front of us. If Rika does not survive the next fragment we travel to, she will be dead for good. My power is too weak to travel to any more, especially after today. But...strangely, it doesn't feel quite as daunting, anymore.

Does make ya feel kinda invincible ta overcome death, huh? I hope ya guys'll be able ta figure it out.

[aumygoddess]

I suppose in a way. No matter how many times she was killed, I would always be able to bring her back, but it was also very demoralizing. We could try and try, and it wouldn't help, and we'd have to start over again.

It's the kind of hopeless situation that truly requires a miracle.

[maddogs]

This felt like that, too.

[aumygoddess]

[ a nod ]

But...we came out alright, despite it.

[ For the first time in a hundred years, she feels cautiously optimistic. ]

[maddogs]

Exactly. Good luck back home, okay?
