WEEK 8

[When you wake up, there's a text message in all of your inboxes, warning about how stressful exams week can be. The email comes replete with names of study sessions, tutoring hours, and free pizza on other parts of the campus. And it encourages you to check online for the exam schedule based on your class and section number.

There's also a note that there will be weekly stress puppy pop ups to help you relax? So that's nice and thoughtful! But ultimately, at Fayflower, they just want to make sure everyone has what they need to do well on their exams.

What a nice email.

But things have obviously deteriorated around you, with the wall looking visibly... damaged? If you get close, it's extremely easy to lose track of yourself... and you might come away with a few bruises you didn't know you got. Who knows. Maybe Terra?

Happy final week.]

[He's not sure why he expected anything different out of him. Still... a mixture of relief and irritation flow through him. As a short and sharp laugh slips out.]

Of course he wouldn't make it easy.... I'm not sure why I expected anything less from Nikolai.

[He... feels light. He brain is engulfed in an strange new feeling. It's a warm and fuzzy feeling. He... thinks he likes it. A lot.]

I.... so what does that make the two of us now then? In a long distance relationship? He... does still exist in some form after all.

[God... saying even that out loud sounds surreal.]

Congratulations. I'm very happy for the two of you.

[She's just happy to see his smile back.]

I suppose that makes sense, yes. You're just separated for now. But I've been working on reconnecting you with them. Hopefully you'll be able to hear from him soon.

I... thank you Vivi.

[Words cannot express just how grateful he is to her. There's a bright smile on his face. This... is probably the best he's felt in this place. He can't remember the last time he felt so.... happy.]

I'm... positive that everyone here and there would be ecstatic for that.

[Everyone here has someone that means something to them on the other side.]

Speaking of which... um... I... doubt there's anything I can do... but if there is... please let me know.

I thought they might. And... I thought, with the announcement earlier... you might all need that last bit of encouragement.

[This... this is why she's still here. This is what she came back to be able to do. To... to help these people. She's... so glad she did.]

I will, I promise.

Every bit counts with so few of us left.

[He still can't believe he's the last adult apprentice left standing.]

I'll hold you to that.
