. . . Can you see it in a different way than we can?

[retellers]

Well... we can sense things that you all can't, because of our connection to the Realm.

[exercisms]

There are sometimes things I can see that others can't.

[So that makes sense to him! Okay.]

Are you going to be okay? You don't deserve to have to do something so terrible as that.

[retellers]

[ they're quiet, but then nod. ]

I'm going to have to be. Everyone is... everyone is suffering here, so I can't cry just because it's hard for me. It's hard for everyone.

[exercisms]

If you're sad, you should cry. It doesn't make you less brave, or less able to help.

[retellers]

Not everyone might think that...

[exercisms]

[What to say to encourage her. . . ]

It doesn't matter what everyone thinks! You are the protagonist of your own life.

[What does this MEAN.]

[retellers]

[ WHAT DOES THIS MEAN.

however, rabbit actually just stares at him for a second, before... very slowly nodding their head. ]

I... I guess that's right.

[exercisms]

[It was really wise, and it makes a lot of sense, when you think about it.]

So. . . so don't worry. You're doing okay. We all know you're trying your hardest to help us.

[retellers]

[ they nod. ]

So are you. You've been doing a lot.

[exercisms]

I've been trying, but I feel that there's not much I can do to really help you guys.

[retellers]

[ hm... ]

You don't think you've been helping?

[exercisms]

[Shrug!]

[retellers]

[ nooooo... ]

You're doing great

[exercisms]

If all I can do is just. . . wait each week for chances to collect the nova, then I'll do that. I'll put all my effort into that. But in the meantime, people will keep dying and terrible things will happen. So waiting around feels. . .mm. [Extremely bad.]

[retellers]

Well, you guys aren't just waiting... everything you do here helps in some way.

[exercisms]

Everything we do?

[retellers]

Well, maybe not everything...

[ pooping does NOT get you nova. ]

But a lot.

[exercisms]

What kind of things? If I can do those things more, then. . . !

[retellers]

I think that finding your other team members is an important start.

[ they look back down at the ribbon then at him. ]

[exercisms]

Mm! I'll do my best!

[Also I hope you know that in four PCs this week he mentioned he got this ribbon and both he and the other person assumed it was just magic instead of obviously a hint to someone else.]

Ah. . . something unusual happened today. I remembered something. Is that. . . does that mean anything?

[retellers]

[ it has been killing me because technically it's rabbit cheating to get past the one hint a week rule and yet everyone else is failing me. everyone on team rabbit is anti cheating apparently. ]

Oh! Our team collected a lot of nova, it's from that.

[exercisms]

Oh! I remembered my friend Dimple. . . or, that he was my friend. I remembered him this whole time, but somehow I forgot all of the good parts about him.

[Of which there are only a few.]

Have you remembered anything?

[retellers]

[ those few things are enough for mob, it's fine.

but rabbit nods. ]

I did. It's a little confusing though.

[exercisms]

Confusing?
