;; Thank you!!

You look like... A cherry jolly rancher... I think.

...You have got to be kidding me-

Hah- I read about this Abnormality... Least I still have Iori's keypage...

Fortunately, no... As far as I recall, at least...

...That duck do be swimming, though-

;; Hey there's no need to apologize :o Life happens, and sometimes not in ways that we expect or are easy to deal with. I just hope things are treating you kinder now 🫂

-The Librarian begins to follow behind Judgment Bird, summoning their baton to better scale the trees. While their footwork is amateurish, they soon manage to get higher ground.-

🌸 ...Quite faster than anticipated.

🔒 Sounds like they've been practicing... You staying here?

🌸 In case any of the trees falter, yes. I can rejoin you both when you're at the top.

🔒Got it. Thank you, Grave!

🔒Please, can you at least try?

🌸...Very well. Since you asked so nicely.

-The Abnormality soon held onto a fan, similar to the E.G.O. weapon affiliated with himself. With a singular motion, cherry blossom trees of varying heights soon sprouted forth. All leading to the Lighthouse.-

🔒I should be fine... I'm not as experienced with climbing, but I might be... Grave, do you mind?

🌸...Rain'll make it easier, but the sand will make it harder. I can do what you wish, but... The trees will sink with any additional weight.

🔒But, Olive-

...She can be helped, I know it. It has to be possible. As for the Lighthouse... I know you, uh, can't see, but... How good are your tree climbing skills...? If any?

...Hog Earmuffs...?

...Know what, fuck it- If they drown those out...

🔒Olive is... Still in there. I believe it. She... Isn't the type to just fade away like that.

As for Kenneth he's my older brother-! He has no reason to go against us. I feel bad he had to come by this way again, but-

...Maybe I can prove to him I can handle this. Somehow.

🔒S-sorry I just... Ugh- There's just a lot happening and I'm... Frantic, OK?

🌸...Now I worry why you need to get on top of the Lighthouse.

🔒I just want to see if Olive's still here! I guess... If Boss and... Kenneth are too.

...File mentioned those two were here...

🔒 Wait, don't hurt him! He's one of my assistants!

🌸 What a warm welcome.

🔒 This isn't the time for sarcasm, please–! I... I need to see if... If Olive is still here.
