Episode 99:
The day is June 22nd 2024. It's a Saturday.
Sotsona, Casimir, Zephryn, and Celestyn are all gathered around Adairus' grave, celebrating his birthday.
Sotsona's narration:
Line 1) We all ate some cake and hung out with each other, then ended the night by doing one last thing.
Line 2) I brought some leftover herbs that we had bought from Palau to burn at the grave*.
*Refer back to episode 42, details in between lines 58 and 59.
Sotsona places her hand on her heart and closes her eyes, letting her nose engulf the scent of sage.
Line 3) As the herbs burned, I prayed for Casimir's father.
Line 4) I thought about all the good fortunes that I wish to bless his family with.
Line 5) I prayed for his afterlife care and protection.
Zephryn drives all of them back to their place.
Sotsona stares out the window, deep in thought.
Line 6) I felt good leaving the place, knowing that I had been honored enough to visit my fiance's father's grave.
Line 7) Knowing that they found it obligatory to let me know about something so personal makes me feel closer to all of them.
Line 8) I only wish for us to continue down this path of embracing each other further and further.
Line 9) Which is why a part of me recoiled at the thought of the plans I had made with my parents the next day*.
*Refer back to episode 98, line 26.
Line 10) When I first got into my relationship with Casimir, I felt an ominous pit of doubt in my stomach.
Line 11) I thought that in time, the doubt would dissipate, and it did, but it's abruptly back, just like Casimir concluded around a week ago*.
*Refer back to episode 97, line 91.
Line 12) Him pointing it out felt like a dagger to my heart.
Line 13) The moment he pointed it out, it lingered in my brain persistently.
Line 14) I just have a feeling in my gut that when my parents ask about where I've been and I tell them I'm getting married, they'll be against it.
