🌸 A. an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Sender: Susato Mikotoba
To: Everyone
Subject: Reverein's clinic

[ It's short, and to the point. Susato doesn't use the journal often to broadcast like this, but now that she is, she feels it prudent to be as direct as possible. ]

To whom it may concern:

For the past couple weeks, the Reverein communal clinic has been without a proper doctor to run it. If you are in need of aid, please be patient, as the volunteers are doing the very best they can.

If you have medical experience and would like to help, please let me know. Thank you.

Regards,
Susato Mikotoba

🌸 B. move along, move along, like i know you do.

[ Within the garden of the Wild Harvest, among the faint hissing of snakes and the lull of the waterfalls, Susato closes her journal and tucks away her pen. She takes a deep breath as she moves to stand from her favorite bench, and she walks with purpose into an area littered with stars that look like stepping stones upon the ground.

For a moment, she stops and simply stares. There it is. A blank star, waiting for a name. Perhaps it appeared some time ago. Perhaps she simply ignored it, but after digesting recent events, she has no time to wallow in the remaining stages of grief. He's not even dead, but she wonders if that doesn't make things worse.

Either way, she doesn't even need a pen. She slowly bends down, spending another moment feeling the rough surface of the starfish with her hand before she commits with her pointer finger.

The strokes appear in a glow, and the end result looks engraved. ]

御琴羽 悠仁

🌸 C. wild card.

[ If neither of these fit! ]

[ All Susato can do is listen, though she can feel a connection to Ori through her words that seems even stronger than it was before. Susato herself hadn't thought she could do much on own either. She has always been in a supportive role, and well-protected. This was probably the most dangerous thing she has ever done without someone like Kazuma, or even her father, for guidance. ]

I will do everything I can.

[ To stay prepared. The Glowing Dawns are a good start, though she seems to be turning over Ori's words in her mind.

......This world is... all they have?

When she and Kazuma someday wake, they still have a world to go home to together. Perhaps they will no longer see each other the same way... perhaps it will be a while before they would even see each other at all. But they would have the comfort of knowing that they remain a part of each other's lives, no matter what.

Knowing this, she still wonders if they would ever have something close to what Eustace and Tifa have, or Ori and Diluc. Eustace, tease though he may, had always encouraged her to go at her own pace. ]

Perhaps it is fair to say it has brought us all closer together, that even those uninvolved can feel the effects. If nothing else, I suppose I can be grateful for that.

[ If Ori knew of the thoughts going through Susato’s mind, she would try to assuage them. What she and Kazuma have here is entirely singular and precious and it’s just as special as what Eustace and Tifa have, or what she and Diluc and Thoma have (or had, in the latter’s case). It’s special because it’s here, in this realm of dreams. It’s not a race. No one relationship is more important.

As it is, though, Ori is left listening to Susato and agreeing. ]

Ah, I agree. Then… Instead of saying sorry… Will you tell Kazuma that I’m thankful he was there for you that night, after you all went home?

[ Susato has always been sensitive to the feelings and thoughts of others. As such--even though those sentiments are never voiced, the look Ori gives her as she listens is a comforting one. Susato visibly eases. ]

I...

[ ...She nods. ]

I will. You have my word.
