3rd Hat Flip [Voice/Action] Backdated to right after the draftees return

[ There's a brief pause after Firo turns on the journal. It's more difficult than he thought to make the announcement; when he tried writing it out he found he could barely move the pencil. He decides to keep it brief and just manages to keep most of the emotion out of his voice. ]

Seto's dead. 

[Action]

[ Shortly after his journal post Firo steals off to take a walk. He's avoiding the center of the village for once, staying around the fringes instead. Finding it difficult to deal with this mixture of grief and anger, he'll occasionally pause to punch or kick some poor tree. ]

[Ouka hears the sound of a fist striking bark and she slows down in her walk back to the house in order to see where it came from. ....what did that poor tree do to you Firo 8(]

...Excuse me.

H-He's what?!

[Roji doesn't know why he even asked that. He heard the boy loud and clear. Maybe he's just in brief denial. That innocent, kind kid...why did it have to be him? Why does it have to happen to anyone?

As always with this situation, he was somewhat prepared for the possibility...but preparedness still doesn't make it any easier.]

Er, I apologize. I'll keep a lookout for his return...

[What else can he say?]

[Did he hear that right? Seto was....Seto was dead?]

He'll...he'll come back, right? The guide said people can't really die here and...

[...Then again, he died while outside the village, would it still count?]

[Action] Hopefully timelines work out all right...!

[Grune had missed Firo's announcement at the time. She had been too busy giving out hot cocoa and cookies to the returning draftees. Instead, it had been Giles who had broken the news to her, right before she had closed up shop for the day.

Now she's returning home, carrying a basket that clinks with empty mugs. Her expression is...tired. It's something so rare for her that even some of her closest friends have never seen that particular look on her face. Seto is....

A sudden sound makes her look up. She doesn't know what it is, but....] Hello?

[voice]

[There's no mistaking the pain in her voice here.]

...How? That can't be true...

[How could she miss that? Wasn't there anyone to help him?]
