    Summary

    "You know how it goes. You know how families work around here. Besides, Mira has told you enough of her stories for you to see the writing on the wall.

    Isabeau wanted to be roommates like a trial period of sorts. If you two worked out romantically in that time, then you would make a home together. If you didn’t, then you would be roommates for a bit, until Isa realized he needed someone more compatible by his side, and then.

    And then it would be over. He would move on."

    Or Siffrin thinks he has to date Isabeau to move in with him, so they try to "confess" their totally romantic feelings. It doesn't go as expected.

    Summary

    Madame Odile came out of her tent and joined the group, Crafting book in hand. “What's happening?”

    Isabeau smiled awkwardly. “I thought I saw something, but let me check again, I'm pretty sure it was nothing!”

    “Wait, what do you think you saw?”

    “It's kinda embarrassing, but--”

    A darkless blur dashed out of the tent. Siffrin skidded to a stop in front of the party, spun on their heel, and unsheathed their dagger.

    He was followed by Siffrin, Siffrin, Siffrin, and Siffrin.

    ---

    Having resumed their quest for the final Orb after Siffrin lost an eye, it seems the party can't catch a break. A group of strange Sadnesses are copying Siffrin, using the memories each party member has of him. Can everyone work through their false impressions and find the real Siffrin?

    Summary

    There are two Siffrins huddled together under the Favor Tree.

    One is injured and unconscious. The other is stunned and in a daze. Unfortunately, this means that the neither of them are able to explain what happened.

    Odile has some thoughts.

    (An Act 6 Two Hats alternative ending where Loop doesn't disappear, Siffrin passes out, and the party ends up encountering the aftermath of the Two Hats fight with no understanding of exactly what they are dealing with. They do their best anyways.)

    Summary

    ...Siffrin knew that just because they couldn't see the stars didn't mean they weren't there. Whether hidden by the sun or man-made light, or on full display in the blackened sky, the stars were always with him, always watching from above.

    The thought used to comfort Siffrin. Now it only strengthened the ache in their gut that flared every time they thought of what they'd lost.

    Siffrin eyes burned with tears. He bit his lip, hard, hoping to distract from the pressure building in his head.

    Isabeau, of course, noticed first. "Hey, Sif, you alright?"

    "Oh, yeah," Siffrin said, hastily wiping his face. "Doing great!"

    Isabeau raised an eyebrow. "Okay. You sure?"

    Siffrin shook his head. "It's nothing. Just…" He smiled, sadly. "Just… stars."

    Siffrin is fine. He has a family that loves him and plenty of adventures ahead. He's fine.

    But he still wants to remember.

    And he can read his language now. And he has an ache in his soul that won't go away.

    So what if every memory leaves him choking on his own blood? So what if the Universe doesn't want him to remember?

    He has to at least try.
