So, you're dead. Shame, that.
But on the other hand, it's actually kind of nice.
When you "wake" in some odd version of it, you'll find yourself lying on a rather plush bed. It's cozy and warm and just soft enough to tempt anyone back into sleep. The room is equally nice, if small, and when you turn and open the curtains to look out the window, you will see... wait, is that the town?
It is, actually. The town is laid out quite simply across the window and no matter how many times you may bang or wave through the window, no one seems to notice you. If you're smart enough to give up the venture and leave the small bedroom, you will notice that, of course, you are on the train.
The train that, is actually pretty fancy.
Moving through it, past the sleeping cabins and through to the main carts, you will find a dining car with fine dishware and meals of all kinds made at a push of a button or a request given to the air. They'll appear, freshly made and ready to eat at the table of your choice with any drink you could want. There truly doesn't seem to be any limits when it comes to the luxury of the meal.
There is also a bathhouse car with private bathrooms and saunas to fit up to four. Even one rather large room containing a small pool/hot tub of sorts is available for just about anyone to take a dip. It's kind of outlandish, honestly.
Then the lounge car, with its library and plush armchairs and couches. A pool table, a darts board, even a small area dedicated to painting. There's a bar too, fully stocked and ready for anyone who needs a drink. All it would require is a request from the bartender who... looks surprisingly familiar?
The Sheriff is there, much cleaner cut than his counterpart outside of the train. He looks up mildly at any arrivals, giving them a nod of greeting before going back to organizing bottles or setting cigars out for a smoke. He doesn't seem to be surprised at all by anyone who appears. Just... ready to serve them, whatever they may wish.
It all sort of seems okay for a moment, until you realize you're just here to wait for the game to end. Awkward. |
MILLA MAXWELL
Milla,
I'm really, really happy you're safe. Every time I write anyone else a letter I keep writing "happy" over and over again, but I don't know what else to say! I don't even remember how scared I was about you getting hurt when I think about how you're safe now because it means so much to me that you're okay. I really don't know what other word to use! I'm delighted and relieved and really happy!
You're not allowed to be mad at yourself. I'm officially taking that right away! It isn't your fault, and I'm not just saying that because of the person I am, I'm saying it because it's true. It wouldn't matter what you told me or what I knew, I still would have wanted to go out there and keep Russell safe. If I regret anything besides not fighting hard enough, it's letting you convince me to let you join me even though you were still hurt so badly. I'm really sorry I put you in danger. I'm still really glad you wanted to come with me, though. You've always worked really hard and tried to protect people, and nothing ever stops you or slows you down. That's exactly the kind of hero I want to be!
I think Muzét must be the luckiest girl in the world. When you see her again, will you tell her hi for me? I know I'll be able to ask once I see you again, but I want to ask before I forget, since it's important! If she's your sister and I'm your sister that almost makes me and her half-sisters or something like that. It would if she wanted us to be, anyway! I'm an only child, and I don't want to say it makes me lonely, since I have my Hero Club, but they're all so close to my age that it means it feels really different to have an older sister. So you're welcome for letting you into my family, but mostly, thank you for being part of mine!
It's really cozy here and I'm safe, so you don't have to worry! There's just one thing: there aren't any flowers here. It isn't a big deal, but if you have the time, I'd really like it if you could put some in my mailbox! There's a project I want to work on, and I need cypress flowers and irises. Have you seen cypress flowers before? They come in red, white, and pink, and they look like little stars! They're really cute! I asked everybody for a few different flowers so no one would have to do all the work, but I'm sure you're gonna share what I asked for, so it's okay if you trade.
Speaking of flowers, thank you so much for passing out the bookmarks! Everyone here got theirs, too! I'm really, really happy you like them. I know I woke you up a few times making them, and I'm sorry about that, but I really wanted them to be a surprise. I hope it's been a nice one!
We'll see each other again. I know we're going to, because I know you won't stop until things are the way they should be. That's just the kind of hero, sister, and person you are!
I love you a lot! Remember, you're likely to succeed if you try, so try not to give up!
Yuna
P.S. Will you do me one more small favor? If I could write letters for everyone, I could, but I'm not allowed to, but I still wanted to tell Mister Barnham I'm sorry for Friday. He's been working really hard! I really admire that!
