"I'd say that was successful and fun! Glad you were allowed to keep some things like Mya's new wand and Finch's spear."
Finch showed it off.
"My spear! :D Next year, Halloween; I'm dressing up as a guard to poke people."
Trinity nods,"Yeah, should we talk about the dream and meet up?", Lucy nods,"Definitely, Nicky might not be able to cause he's spending time with his family.", "That and he fell asleep, least it's a decent time. . . Best not to wake him.", Enzo nods,"Best we all go to bed, and. . . Hope for a dreamless dream and tomorrow we'll talk.", so they all hung up, Trinity practically crawled into her warm bed and closed her eyes.
. . .
. . .
"Lose a coin. . . Lose a life. . ."
"Aren't you forgetting something. . . Trinity."

Next morning, she still felt tired and rough as she sat up in bed.
But. . . Was she forgetting something? But what, what could she-
Then it hit her.
She covered her mouth in horror.
Lose a coin, Lose a life. . .
The coin!

"But. . . If the cult members are locked up, then it should be fine?"
Maritza shook her head,"No, there's still Crowface and wr don't know what they're capable of or what they plan to do.", Enzo sighed,"Right. . . Yeah.", Trinity was obviously scared and worried, Aaron stood up,"Well. . . If I remember right, the last place you had it was in my office and you put in the machine, where we found the notebook. . . So let's just open it and take it back out.", Trinity felt so relieved, hugging Aaron as she thanked him for remembering.

"Such a nice play you had, you did amazing and your friends!"
Hailey, Nicky's grandma hugged her grandson,"Now, let's get to baking goods for Christmas, shall we?", Nicky jumped at the opportunity to start cooking and baking.

Empty.
The machine was empty.
Trinity shuddered,"But. . . How. . . Unless it fell into the machine. . .", they could now say Trinity lost the coin.
~
Crowface held the coin, giving it a toss before it landed on the apple.
"Lose a coin. . . Lose a life."

Miguel took a walk, slightly worried about being attacked by squirrels again but thankfully it seemed quiet and good. . . He needed to clear his head.
He's done this for years now, he didn't know why he was feeling so down.
He should be able to move on and not thunk of her every occasion, wishing she'd be here to see everything. . . But. . .
Maybe it's just the stress of everything, events of recently and memories. . .
He stood by a park bench, taking in the cool breeze and thoughts.
I have their gifts, I just need to relax. . . Maybe I'm just fretting over nothing, or am I even doing a good job at this point-?
Then he smacked in the face the scarf, curtesy of the wind.
Miguel looked at the scarf, holding it. . . Remembering how Natalie would advise him to wrap up warm, help him with a scarf.
. . .
Miguel sighed, smiling and looked up,"I'll take it as a sign to stay warm or stop walking myself down.", he shook his head.
