[ Mabel's initial excitement has now waned and she is just. sitting outside on the steps to the summer dorm entrance, leaning forward with her head cupped in her hands and sighing as she glances down. She aimlessly picks at some of the grass. ]

[momming]

[ Otome settles down beside her, not saying anything at first until Mabel's aware she's there. And then, quietly-- ]

That's quite a look you've got on your face, Mabel. Do you want to talk about it?

[foreversweaterweather]

[ she lets a tuft of grass fall on her feet before blowing them away. ]

...do you have any siblings, Miss Otome?

[momming]

I don't, no. Just very close friends I'd consider to be sisters.

[ She pauses, then continues gently. ]

What about you, Mabel?

w0, post execution

[foreversweaterweather]

[ Once Otome's patched up, Mabel will gingerly approach her back in the dorms, bringing over the blankets that were draped on her yesterday evening as well as a Therapy Pig. She sets the blankets down next to Otome if she wants them, then lifts Waddles up. ]

Do you wanna hug Waddles?

[momming]

... Would he let me?

[ She's never hugged a pig before ]

[foreversweaterweather]

Sure. As long as you're nice to him. Waddles loves hugs.

w1, saturday

[foreversweaterweather]

[ Mabel is curled up into a ball in the hammock, keeping an eye on everyone else in the summer dorm from a distance. ]

[momming]

... What are you doing, Mabel?

[ Hammock hovering? ]

[foreversweaterweather]

Just...keeping an eye on everyone.

w3, monday

[foreversweaterweather]

[ she approaches otome in the summer dorm ]

Hey, Otome? Can you teach me how to be a doctor like you? I wanna help people too!

[momming]

... I'm not entirely sure I'm able to fully train you as a doctor. But I can certainly teach you how to treat injuries and illnesses to the best of my ability?

[ And maybe it will help Mabel feel better?? ]

[foreversweaterweather]

[ she nods ]

Yeah! Anything so I can help make people better!

w3, sunday

[foreversweaterweather]

[ 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. ]

[momming]

[ Otome really is getting used to rooftops these days. Slowly.

But here she is with a blanket! ]

Do you mind if I cut in?

[foreversweaterweather]

[ she looks up for a second and then just. scoots over a little to make room for her. ]

w4, saturday

[foreversweaterweather]

[ 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. ]

[momming]

... Thank you.

[ Her voice is hoarse, her feelings entirely a mess, but she'll take the mug. ]

[foreversweaterweather]

[ 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?

w5, wednesday

[foreversweaterweather]

[ after all the festivities: ]

is it true otome???
is summer dorm all getting along better now?

[momming]

[ ... Are they???? ]

Well, Mandricardo and I aren't really talking so I can't quite say that's accurate...

[foreversweaterweather]

...oh

[ she'd follow with "really" but like. she can guess why. ]

then
why'd claude say you're all so tight-knit?

Week 6, Sunday

[momming]

[ All she sees is this blanket pile. But she's pretty sure... ]

It's a bit belated, but welcome back to Summer, Mabel.

[foreversweaterweather]

[ a head peeks out slowly, as if to confirm what she's seeing, and then she bursts out of the blankets like a flying squirrel, except instead of attacking someone's face she's flinging for a hug. ]

Otome!!! You're back!

[momming]

[ And Otome wraps her arms around her for a tight squeeze. ]

I'm sorry if I worried you.
