The ocelot’s four eyes watched the Tanglers approach, each pair moving independently. “Moth’s gone?” Her forked tail-tips curled in on themselves, and she focused on Kiara. “Well. I suppose I will have to talk to someone savvy about medicine.”
Her focus shifted to Atbash and Vigenere as the siblings. One eye widened in surprise at seeing the former luminary alive (the last she saw him, his corpse leaked blood under Stryker’s paws). She considered him a friend, would’ve greeted him as such, but the friendly words died on her tongue.
Her eyes zeroed in on Atbash, all four orange-red irises eying the same target, unblinking as she processed this news. “This explains the odd looks from Tanglers as I flew overhead.” The smaller pair of eyes flicked over to Vigenere as she eyed the two simultaneously, trying to understand how two ex-leaders could nonchalantly talk about such a foolish decision.
Snowbound’s destruction and Stryker’s swamp takeover played in her mind’s eye. Now she remembered, she could believe these two supported such an obvious mistake in the making.
“Are you all sure that’s wise? With Moth missing and… this? Though I suppose it's true none of you asked us for assistance, so perhaps it all looks worse than it is.” Her tail flicked, motioning to the recovering drought conditions all around the town. “I suppose Tanglers have always walked to their own tempo.”

PEACEFALL
peace comes at dawn, but yours comes at night
I FEEL SO HUNGRY —
— Dear diary, I don't know what's going on, but something's up / The dog won't stop barking, and I think my TV is bust / Every channel is the same, it's sending me insane / And earlier somebody bit me, what a fucking day / The sky is falling / It's fucking boring / I'm going braindead, isolated / God is a shithead / And we're his rejects / Traumatized for breakfast / I can't stomach any more survival horror / Dear diary, I feel itchy like there's bugs under my skin / The dog's gone rabid (shut the fuck up) / Doing my head in —— WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?
