[we'll sayyy abandoned classroom. lucretia goes looking for her, at some point after trial, and when she eventually does manage to come across otome... she lingers back, a little. otome will be able to feel there's some guilt coming off of her, alongside the simmering anger that's a more general thing. god, she hates this place so much.]
[she expected about as much, she knows there-- seems to be only so much that can be said. lucretia just breathes out, slowly, quiet for a while herself.]
...just tell me what you need. We'll assume you have until Thursday and act accordingly, but if you have more time after that, then we'll continue to do what we can.

w4, saturday
Otome...? Otome, I'm sorry.
no subject
[ Otome looks up and maybe it's just Lucretia's fellow mom vibes but tears just. Start pouring down her face. ]
W-why on earth are you apologizing?
no subject
I couldn't do it. I feel as if you'd have wanted us to, but I couldn't-- do that to you.
no subject
I've-- broken my oath as a doctor, Adora is dead because of me, I--!
no subject
[otome's tears are just-- making her own eyes sting and blur, honestly.]
It isn't your fault. I still believe that whatever led to all of this, whatever made you act, it wasn't-- you wouldn't have wanted to do this.

And she's just quietly crying now. ]

[but if she needs to be alone to think, then-- she won't force her company on her, either.]

You should rest.
