It's throwing me off. Ven's a sacrifice like us, but Death... Did the cultists figure out what the Masks were doing? But then why kill Aventurin too?

... Some people are wondering if he just got unlucky, especially with that bit about how his luck ran out. Though... I don't know if that's more or less cruel than him being deliberately targeted.

[me reading my tag like who is aventurin]

...It's shitty either way, that they wrote that. [annoyed....] Reducing his entire life down to a witty one-liner.

[aventurine's twin which means aventurine is still alive]

... It's horrible. He deserves much better than that. [...] Are you holding up okay, Lavi? I mean, I know you've seen a lot, given your job, but...

[this is how we make yuul suffer

he blinks at the question, as if surprised -- but it does take him out of his own head a bit,]

...I'm alright. Just wish we had some answers.

What about you?

... Same. I'm upset, and I liked Aventurine a lot [no shade against death, they simply never spoke], but—I really want to know what happened. For their sake and for ours.

[i see that nona hated death]

...We know that if it's happened twice -- it could easily happen again.

[which is a cold thing to say, he knows]

Keep your arrows on you, yeah? We'll all need to start carrying weapons.

... Yeah. If I can help it, I'm not going to let this happen to anyone else.

[...he tugs on the end of one of her ponytails]

Anyone else and you, right?

[NOT THE PONYTAIL TUG]

Of course. I intend to make it through this.

[yeah that's right]

Good. We've already been assigned sacrifices, I don't want to see you or anyone else actually become one.

[don't die for OTHER PEOPLE. NONA. EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE A JAN CHARACTER]
