Ooooh, where you tie someone's arm or whatever to it, right? I've seen that on TV!
[ Mabel is just. sitting on the summer dorm roof, on the back side of it facing towards the forest. she's sitting here silently with her pig, making just a small amount of sound only when she sniffles. ]
[ she looks up for a second and then just. scoots over a little to make room for her. ]
[ she is SO dehydrated rn
she looks up at Otome and thinks...she's nice. she helps heal everyone, and is even teaching Mabel to do the same. and she can't recall her amongst the voices at the trial...so if there's anyone she thinks might understand, it'd be Otome.
she sniffles and looks down at her feet. ]
...I-I thought people here were nice! And friendly! And I could trust them! But--but the second we knew Caiman did it, it's like everyone turned on him, even though we knew he didn't want to, and he needed help too!

Yesss! I'm gonna do so much helping!
[ and then, at long last: a memshare! (7:01-7:58, 8:25 to 9:52) ]

[ Otome reaches out to rest a hand on her hair, quiet for a minute. ]
Your initial impressions aren't wrong. And I'm not pleased that people lashed out at him, or at you. I just know that grief and rage can make us say or do things that we can't entirely control. And Mollymauk's death was... brutal. So many people were already on edge.
This place... doesn't allow for kindness, I've noticed.

But... [ sniffles ] ...doesn't that just mean we should make up for it?
[ well. just throws herself at Otome for a hug. ]
...it's not going to be "if", is it.

[ in the distance: ]
Otome! Otome...? Where are you?
[ then the voice gets closer until eventually, Mabel opens the door to the abandoned classroom to find Otome there. ]
There you are! ...here.
[ she offers Otome a mug of hot chocolate. Waddles trails in behind her too. ]

[ she watches Otome take the mug, feeling nothing but overwhelming concern for her. she almost asks if she's okay but like. that's a dumb question, huh. ]
...can Waddles and I hug you?
...can Waddles and I hug you?
[ after all the festivities: ]
is it true otome???
is summer dorm all getting along better now?

...oh
[ she'd follow with "really" but like. she can guess why. ]
then
why'd claude say you're all so tight-knit?
