( Sometimes, getting up early is a blessing because you get to see a wonderful dawn and enjoy the peace and quiet before everyone else starts to rise.

Sometimes, getting up early is a blessing because you run into Elphame's newest statue of the tournament victors. And, as it seems a terrible shame to not drag her friends (and the other three), Kate whips out her phone and does what any good person would do:

Start a slow, circling walk of the statue. Please enjoy the close ups of the loving detail in which every victor is rendered.

And please also enjoy the huff of laughter Kate lets out before she adds a; )

Congratulations.

( You're immortal, victors. )

Oh... [ She looks away, up toward the sky, as she speaks.

This... is really complicated, isn't it? From her singular experience, things this big don't just happen overnight. She may not know the history, but she has a sense of the importance.

( This kid is... incredibly sincere. Was she ever that sincere as a kid? Maybe. But that's a version of herself that's long been destroyed, along with so many of her personal reasons to want this mission to succeed.

Cynicism would be easy, were she not looking at the face of a small child who seems unerringly determined to do the right thing.

Ugh. What do you say in the face of a kid like this? )

... I'm sure you will.

( Whether this can actually fix anything, who the hell knows any more. )
