She nodded and said, “Apologies, I was among those that had a poor night’s sleep. I am sure it was just a prelude of the enemy has in store for us as we try and rest. The more the world of dreams becomes corrupted the more dangerous our sleep will become.”

"Too late t' apologize when you've already been forgiven," comes Akutou's reply. "Took me a while t' get t' sleep, myself, an' it usually don't.

“Nothing that you do can take away from all that you’ve done… For all of us.” She replied with a serious tone.

“If I were to bet… I’d say you’ll end up adding more to be thankful for… but you are so very much in the black… You needn’t worry about screwing up.”

She finished, “You are known and loved.”
"Yeah. But you guys are all dumb kids who don't know any better."

He was grinning.

She nodded and swallowed once.

For her part, Yukara wandered, watching the various efforts of the others, clearing her mind and drawing in her chi once again. (meditation in pf)

She felt oddly peaceful after the entire thing, despite it just being a silly mannequin.

“I am Shiba Kumori…” She replied looking back at him.

“I am the things I do. I make my own promises… and I keep them.”

She crossed her arms and looked back at the festival and the people there… As if what she promised herself didn’t need to be spoken out loud.

Having dropped every roll except for the one he should have failed, Norikage found a place to sit down and relax. The afternoon was when he needed to hit his second wind, to have some semblance of feeling alive after not having slept.

It hadn't come during his quiet moment, and that bothered him. A great deal bothered him. He stared dully at the ground for a bit, trying to rally himself and think a little.

“You know, I think I do feel a bit better after all that,” Ayako remarked cheerfully. "This village ritual really works."
