In the tapestry of floriography, the borage flower stands out as a symbol of emotional fortitude and joy. Its star-shaped blue blossoms have carried the weight of courage since Roman times, believed to embolden warriors on the battlefield. Borage flower and leaves are used for fever, cough, and depression.

...I know. I didn't think it was him, either. Anyone could have worn such a large cloak.

[ the size just wouldn't matter. he swallows down a lump in his own throat, and drops his hands to curl in his lap. ]

I... like to think that it was just three monsters, and not that someone acted without a full story. At least... at least I hope that is the case.

[ he thinks of therion, his deft fingers curled into purple cloth and pulling it up to hide his face. how the size of that thing could fit alfyn comfortably but drowns the smaller frame.

yeah. anyone could've worn it and it wouldn't have mattered. ]

We'll have to ask again. [ he hates this. ] But I want to hope, too. Erin said it was the monster, like it was with Mr. Boothill, and not the - that rotten basement. It's awful to hope that people are gettin' controlled like that, but it's better than the other choices.

... yes.

[ the other choices make his heart sink in his chest like a stone. too similar to the rings. too similar to the knife's edge of what pushed sazantos over. human desire is filthy. and that entire room is just a room of promises that can be made but will likely not be kept, a temptation set behind a glass cabinet.

he takes a deep breath. ]

But that is something we must be prepared for, as well. I... find the act of killing someone for one of those objects far more evil than the will of someone being stolen by a monster they have no control over. But it is the latter that we must be vigilant for.

[ it reminds him of the headmaster. lyblac. mattias. their desire that brought suffering upon others, like so many others before them, and so many that will come after them. ]

You're right. Most people here... I don't think they would succumb to somethin' like the temptation of the things there. Even if it could solve all our problems, it's not worth somebody else's life. But the cult. [ their companions, the people that have become their friends, being used to kill like puppets. ]

If we won't do it, they'll make us. We have to find a way to break through all of this.
