WEEK 8

[lockdownmods]

[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.]

a brother, huh?
if i am i think id clearly be the big brother, while youre the little one.

[ That is a funny image but Terra would definitely never go that far. . . ]

good with kids, though...thats something ive never thought of much, but maybe itd be true.

[starswink]

I think you're really younger than me but I can't deny that's what it's like....

[but he also doesn't know that by international standards they are now the same age]

well why not? lol maybe someday you'll be a teacher like your master

[buriedearth]

actually, it was my birthday a few days ago, so not so much. and even then
...a lot more time has passed for me than i thought it had.

[ THIS week has been wild. Like every week tbf but still.

There's a nooooticeably long pause before he addresses anything regarding his Master, though. It still stings...the memory of his death, but. ]

not sure if thatll happen yet. he was a great master, but teaching might not be something ill be following him in.

[starswink]

[Oh. Well that sounds a little concerning. Especially after the big pause in between.]

I almost forgot you guys have that cyclical memory restoration....
how much time was it? is it really enough to make you older than me?
what happened
oh, and happy birthday. we've been celebrating them over here too.

[buriedearth]

something like that.
im not sure of the exact number but its definitely been a couple years at least.
which is really enough at this time.
thanks for the birthday wish.

[ It looks like he sort of skimmed over 'what happened' for a second.

But not for long. ]

someone....
caused big trouble for me, my master, and my friends back at home. that someone was supposed to be my master's best friend, but it turns out that he was always planning on making sure he was...taken out of the picture.

[starswink]

[Then it's not so weird Yoosung totally has felt like Terra is an older brother, he guesses... but that's not something to focus on at this point. This explains the past tense.]

I see.... I know what that's like.
Sorry for your loss.

[buriedearth]

...you too?

[ Was it some kind of similar situation? ]

thanks, yoosung.

after some thought...maybe i really might become a teacher like my master. but before i do, ill need to take care of the man who killed him.

[ It was tough, but he's managed to regain that strength again...thanks to a certain someone. ]

cw suicide mention

[starswink]

my mentor, Rika, passed away from taking her own life
I always thought that part was a lie, but I didn't have proof
I've remembered enough that I'm even more sure it was homicide now...
but the situation I found it out in is so complicated I still don't know for sure who the real enemy is
someone who hurt me and threatened my friends, or someone who lied to us the whole time and covered everything up
there's no one back home who I can believe
I really hope you catch your master's killer and give them hell
when we get out of here, let's find the truth and our bright future
even if I'm still a program... I really hope that can happen!
But if not me, then at least you, Terra
You're such a good person, you deserve the world
