Struggling to heal from the events of the previous spring, Xanthe concentrates on returning the attic to its proper status as a communal space.

Dumptruck and I talk about DID, the fallout following the dramatic way I discovered I had DID, how they accidentally ruined my life when they were 11 years old, and how they were the first one to tell me that I had DID. The first one I remember, at least. So! We have done away with aliases as far as the perpetrators. From now on, Ash is referred to as Rowan. Asra is referred to as Sage.

Xhaxhollari and Xanthe sit in Xanthe's clocktower and have a discussion to recount the time when the inworld, constantly manipulated by the likes of April, tried to self-destruct out of sheer stress. A nightmare that few can remember, but that changed everything. Massive TWs for this. And I'm sorry about the weird staticy thing that happens sometimes? I honestly have no idea how to prevent that.
