Book 3: Ash - Episode 4: The Knave

All right, so it's morning.

You guys had a rough day.

You had

a rough night.

Chong, you just cried into your mother's arms all night long.

Hanako, you have been dealing with the aftermath of your girlfriend going off the handle.

And Sabi, Sabi, you are having a time.

But the sun has risen.

What would you three like to do today?

I know what Sabi needs to do, like, mechanically.

Like, her first task today.

But, like, I think maybe we should open in the train.

And, like, so Sabi and Hanako had a probably not great night of sleep.

And I think Sabi gets up early and is, like, you know, has re-braided her hair.

And she looks calmer.

Not like in a... healthy positive way but just like very very focused yeah

yeah

so like i think that's like what you're what hanako at least is seeing as she's like waking up

mm-hmm And Hanako, I think, definitely is waking up a little later, still, you know, adjusted to a Chong-adjacent lifestyle.

Thinks she rolls out of bed, sees that Sabi's, like, put herself together, and says, I honestly didn't think you'd be up and at him so early today.

I have...

I have to let Banme know that her brother's safe.

Right.

And how are we going to do

that? I can walk over to the telegraph office.
