[speak of the clockface...]

Wait, you don't remember

Am I really the furthest one along?

[immortalpoet]

it may seem so dante though i don't know what you've experienced. maybe you got every single golden bough and you have yet to tell us. share the good news with the class

private

[followyourstar]

[lockdown initiated. Considering some of the circumstances around this Bough that only Vergilius would know at this point...]

We just collected the bough located in La Manchaland.

[immortalpoet]

[....]

[Well. That says a lot.]

so you know about don quixote

private

[followyourstar]

Yeah. I know keeping it from those two probably isn't the best thing to do, but it doesn't feel right to just come out and say it when she's not here.

[Even when they know it all works out in the end.]

private

[immortalpoet]

i do not think instilling fear among them especially when she is not here would be the best path forward. you're right

how did she take it? remembering it all

private

[followyourstar]

Not well, but that's to be expected. She didn't think she could still stay with us, had given up hope. But we managed to pull her back.

"We," I say, but the Sinners were the ones who did most of the work. I would never have reached her without them.

[immortalpoet]

i see

the group holds its power. it seems that even through this inferno the bonds between your sinners holds stronger than most

Heathcliff and Don Quixote *have* said we're like a family at this point.

[And maybe they think of everyone that way too.]

private

[immortalpoet]

[...]

family....what a bloodstained word that is

private

[followyourstar]

You said that in Wuthering Heights too. Or will say it, is more accurate.

[...]

I won't ask you what happened, and you don't have to feel the same way either but...

[But what? ...The words die the moment they come to mind, before they can even fully form. They don't even know what they wanted to say there.]

Sorry. I've put you in an awkward position, haven't I?

private

[immortalpoet]

[So he said the same thing...in the future? Huh. A context where he stepped in, fought, talked about family...]

[...]

what? no. not really

what do you want to ask, specifically

private

[followyourstar]

[That question... is more difficult to answer (to ask?) than they expected. It takes a little while for them to respond.]

Most of my questions are kind of difficult to ask without you knowing the context.

[What did you give up for us? What was it about the manor's basement that made you step in? Did you regret helping us in the end?]

You said you left your weapon in the hands of another, once. What was their name?

["Names matter," as Ryoshu once said.]

private

[immortalpoet]

[Ah.]

[So he brought up that young man, didn't he? He again, wonders what context may have brought that on. But a question is a question.]

his name was garnet
