    Summary

    It is sitting innocently on the table as you stare it down like it might grow teeth and attack at the slightest movement. The paper of the envelope is aged and wrinkled, a careful sketch of a wide brimmed hat and stylized cloak sitting just to the right of the text detailing who the letter is addressed to. It should be unreadable.

    Should, being the keyword here.

    You can read it. You feel like throwing up.

    Reading it isn’t the problem. Comprehending it is.

    -

    Or,
    Siffrin receives a letter and procrastinates on reading it.

    Summary

    the child you've found grows more comfortable in your little group day by day.

    They still play with sticks and leaves, though.

    You don’t know why it bothers you. You played with what you could find on the forest floor when you were a kid, and you turned out fine! It’s just…

    It just feels wrong. Why should they settle for sticks and rocks when you’re right here, capable of carving all the wooden toys they would ever want?

    or

    an exploration of Bonnie and Siffrin's relationship, through the toys he carves them.

    Summary

    Her ears are pierced the same way as the Kid’s. Her face is round in a way that’s familiar. You’re pretty sure you know who she is.

    “I’m no god-” The words come slowly to you. “-But I might just have the answers you seek.”

    She doesn’t turn back to face you, but it’s fine. You know other ways to grab her attention.

    You are you, and so you are callous, manipulative, and your words- “Like where the Kid is.” A pause. “Where Bonnie is.”

    The show’s over, the curtains have fallen, and the cast members have taken the stage for their final bows. Loop is not an actor, not a director, merely a sponsor. Loop does not take the stage. Loop fades.

    Loop fades, and the Universe is not nearly kind enough to take them into its gentle hands, is not nearly kind enough to put them out of their misery, is not nearly kind enough to set them free.

    Loop doesn’t fade. The loops end, the world doesn’t, and so who is Loop without the loops?

    (aka, loop finds themself in bambouche, petronille unfreezes, and the inevitability of reunion hangs over them both)

    Summary

    There isn’t a Favor Tree there to catch the wish when you make it. There’s no ritual behind it. You don’t even know you’re going to do it until the second you do.

    You look up at a curtain of tiny twinkling lights, not fully understanding their place in the family of things but appreciating the stubborn, knife-like way they pierce through the night and shine anyway.

    Maybe they’re the ones you’re praying to when you whisper, “We could use a little help.”

    The next morning, your group crosses paths with a traveler.

    Summary

    That’s it, then. You sort of never thought this moment would come, but it did. Vaugarde is saved. The King is defeated. Your journey is over.

    Right. Mirabelle will stay here, or maybe go off on a pilgrimage all on her own. Isabeau will go back to Jouvente to pursue his dream. Bonnie back to their sister. And Odile to Ka Bue.
    And you…well, you’ll return to traveling, of course. Just like before. That’s fine. It’s what you’ve always done. It won’t be any different than it was before.

    You’re just glad that this story had a happy ending.

    A moment of hesitation and a faint memory leads Siffrin to make a different wish at the Favor Tree. The party of saviors find their final quest goes much more smoothly than they might have anticipated.

    This is not a good thing.
