[ It's so difficult to know what the right thing is, when it comes to grief. When it comes to loss. Sciel knows it like an old friend, has walked alongside it for so long, but she knows her journey is not the same as anyone else's - she can't dictate what feels right or what will happen. And worse, now, that the dead walk again.
Not worse. It's not that she wishes it were different, that he was gone still. There's an awful kind of twinge in her chest, close enough to be 'hope', but it feels rotten to name it that.
If one of them could return, then... ]
I think he should know. [ Not just about what happened but everything else, what's happened since. ] But that's not on you to tell him.
[ Sciel's known Gustave a long time. If Lune were here, she'd maybe tag-team it with her, but as it stands...
Slowly, she lets go of Maelle, if only to twist her hand and let a card flicker into existence. She offers her a ghost of a smile, sad and awkward and all the things in between. It'll be a juggle, indeed. And she hands the card over.
It lights up with the moon symbol once placed in Maelle's hands. ]
