   Summary

   Apo made it home from Oakhurst, but she's constantly reminded of her friends who didn't. Especially Martyn, who might have lived if she had only known, had only done things differently…and then she gets a chance to do just that. To turn back time, and see if they really can save one trouble-magnet Rich Boy from himself and all the dangers of Oakhurst.

   or Appletree Duo was my favorite part of VSMP, this is how I'm coping with their ending while acknowledging the well-crafted tragedy it was.
