Nogiku.

[shale is in his archway, putting on a pot of tea as you may have come to expect right now, but he'll get up and hurry over to her.]

Hey, are you okay?

[pura]

Yes, I'm okay.

[Though she has a purple petal or two stuck to her clothes, where she missed them. She looks at him over in concern.]

Are you okay, Shale-san? The Prism, it's...

[Breaking? Help.]

[graverot]

[yeah, he understands that feeling. he's coughing a few purple and green petals, but he has been all week.]

...I know. [he doesn't seem all that surprised, though?]

[pura]

[Upon seeing that look...]

Were you expecting this?

[graverot]

Not this, exactly. But it’s felt inevitable to me, for some time, that something would happen. Things have been getting worse, less stable.
