THE TOWN SQUARE.

[Page silently watches the church burn for a little while, once she's emerged safely from it, before turning away and heading to the town square to meet up with everyone else. It makes sense to rest here, as they did last week, after another town with another tragic story to tell.

At least that time, however, they'd all survived it unscathed.

Once she's made it over to the group, she drops her pack onto the ground and collapses next to it, staring at her feet. It's going to take a bit to...process all of that, and while she'd love to get up in front of everyone and make some kind of rousing speech, she just doesn't have it in her at the moment.

Instead, she'll look up from the stone of the square, eventually, casting her eye over everyone and saying (almost to herself)-]


...I hope everyone is all right.

[That is likely far from true, but...well. They're all alive, Wesker is dead, and that's something. She's trying her best not to look at that little tree-sculpture with the key around its neck.


OOC: Second verse, same as the first! Here's our post-event mingle post, to talk about what the hell just happened in there, lick our wounds, and beg forgiveness from...from Flower Girl. Top-level away; Page will have her own up, if you'd like to talk to her.]

[ ... Well, he supposed that was only natural. ]

I won't fault you for being curious. I won't say it's impossible either; the harder you look for answers, eventually they'll find their way to you.

[ Whether or not someone is prepared to receive them. But, if any of them were here, it'll mean they've acknowledged that they would have to accept some hard truths. ]

Just don't go crazy trying to wrack your head with those questions before you find 'em.

[...]

Lancer, I know that quite possibly better than anyone here. That said, I will still give you my word that I won't drive myself mad in pursuit of the truth.
