Summary
September arrived at the Ministry, exploding the surrounding woods with hues of red, orange, and yellow. The summer-warmed stone walls held on stubbornly to the season, but the gardens had begun to change their minds. The air carried the faint promise of rain as insects chirped their final calls before disappearing deep into the hedges.
Belladonna plants bowed beneath their own weight, leaves yellowing at the edges, berries dark and glossy like polished obsidian. Poppy knelt among them, gloved fingers moving with care. A basket lay at her side, already half filled with clusters of berries. Belladonna demanded patience - too firm a grip crushed the fruit and too light a touch left it clinging stubbornly to the plant. The nettle plants nearby released a bitter green scent in the air that stung the back of her throat as she clipped the stems and tossed them into the basket.
Nearby, a ghoulette lingered.

Summary
The greenhouse was always warm in July. The heat captured beneath the glass and iron so thick that even at dawn the air shimmered faintly above the stone floor. The world outside was damp with midsummer rain, but inside Poppy relished in her own dimension of cultivated care. Vines crawled up wooden trellises, tendrils so fine they looked like veins against the windowpanes. Herbs hung drying from beams overhead, whispering when the air shifted. Poppy had built this place into her sanctum, and the earth ghouls had done well maintaining it in her absence. Though the air was thick and humid, Poppy found that this was the one place she could breathe.
Though it was hard to steady it with someone else there.

Summary
The Cardinal stepped into the greenhouse, letting the door swing shut behind him. His scarlet cassock made him look like an accidental smear of paint on a canvas of green. He held a manila folder under one arm and approached her with a lopsided grin on his face.
“I brought something. I was told Papa Secondo’s assistant would be here.”
“I am here,” she said, still not looking up.
“Ah, good. Then I didn’t get lost!”
“You’re the new Cardinal?” Poppy asked, finally peeking at him in her peripheral vision.
“Sì, sorella. Copia. Cardinal Copia.”

Summary
The Ministry was quiet at night. Not peacefully quiet – unsettlingly so, as if the building itself was holding its breath. Sister Poppy wandered the halls, her steps soft against the cold stone floors. A green plaid blanket scarf hung from her shoulders to shield from the soft breeze blowing through the halls. She hadn’t been able to sleep. Her mind was too loud, too full, and her body was too restless to lie still.
The corridors were dim, lit only by scattered sconces and the pale moonlight filtering through the stained glass windows. Shadows stretched across the walls. She didn’t know where she was going, only that she didn’t want to – couldn’t – stay in her room anymore.

Summary
Gaius and Robin's support conversations weren't a conventional build up, like most. Chrom's tactician and the thief were anything but conventional. I am Fire Emblem trash. I'm sorry.
