Saving the assigned flower vibes a friend gave!

"red gardenias and forget-me-nots! forget-me-nots has an array of different meanings, but the one i was moreso going for was the remembrance aspect. promising to always keep someone in your thoughts"

Canon event: the Corpse Brigade

For Starters, the awakening of the Sultana did not happen before the Aery, it was after and from just returning to Ishgard. The team waited to go look for the Hilda until Nemi was back from that business which, made her worse.

Even though the news were good, and her good name was restored... seeing the band responsible for Ilberd's schemes, the loss of the Scions and continued exploiters and backstabbers made her feel so, powerless. Like truly nothing would ever change...

...until she overheard rumours of another victim of the corpse brigade, and she realized she wasn't as weak as she was back then.

She could relieve Little Ala Mhigo of one burden.

Of course, she couldn't just coast in there. She needed a clear method and a way of not being tracked. She approached from the north away from any habitations, using Dragoon jumps to climb eastern rock formations. She watched a long time at day to watch the movements in and out of the cave, slowly covering other entrances and holes in the soil until only the main entrance was left. Twisting the guard's neck, she tossed bombs of morbol stench inside and waltzed in with golden fruit in her belly and a tightly sealed filtration mask. Her claymore cracked every ribcage, crushed any skull to the wall and pierced any limb she could find struggling to get their bearings. Those she recognized from cries and tears she took more time finishing their lives, until only one cowardly shadow was left slipping on the gore of his fallen comrades.

This one, this one tortured Bertliana. His markings match her description.

The worm raising his hands to her past self didn't have a likely kill count, but grinned boasting of another.

“Okay I get it. I’ll just throw down my lance… Here." He dropped his weapon to her other self's feet. “And you lower your claymore.”

Nemi of the past still held it raised, eyes cold and knees flexed to strike. 

   The scoundrel flipped his hands with a chuckle. “It’s fine. I got nothing else on me. I'll go quietly.” He tried to take two steps, but jumped backwards with a fright. He kept smiling but sweat was clear on his temples.“You know, I have a history with infirmaries and the brass blades. I’ve been going to one for a while with my loot," with a gulp, he continued. “Even if I get caught, it’s all good…” Canting his head, he licked his lips and remarked darkly: “I'll come right back out again.” He walked to the claymore with imbalance, extending one hand towards the blade. “What should I do next time? With one bitch or the next." His head pointed elsewhere, mind gone as his breath got heavy. "Just thinking about it gets me excited…”

   Nemi hacked through his jaw, fracturing his skull and brain in a burst that lasted for a second. The upper jaw and teeth were left visible, still attached to the lower body as it tumbled helplessly bereft of will. Nemi, the one of the past, stabbed her claymore on the floor and leaned on it, sniveling as tremors shook her body. Dark miasma coalesced all around her, menacing to an outside spectator but truly Fray's grounding weight soothing the weary Dark Knight.

That was the day she ended the Corpse Brigade for good. It was a good thing, and yet, she had felt terrified and small in her gut. For a former guard of the Mad King to think of other refugees like that… What claim did they have to her land? And, something was to be said about how much she focused on causing pain...

It reminded her of a past she didn't want to remember, but she wouldn't face her darkness here. It was time to return to Ishgard.

Shoutout to characters that are both genuinely deeply kind and also genuinely terrifying and willing to spill buckets worth of blood to get something done. And neither of these are an act, they're just both very true.
