#Jane Castor

[tomorrowusa]

« I can say without any dramatization whatsoever, if you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you're gonna die. »

— Mayor Jane Castor of Tampa, Florida on CNN urging people in hurricane evacuation zones in Tampa to flea for their lives.

You can view Tampa's evacuation zones on this interactive map. The evacuation zones (A & B) mentioned by Mayor Castor cover what I guesstimate to be about a third of the entire city.

After CNN's Kaitlan Collins spoke with the mayor, she spoke with media analyst Brian Stelter about Donald Trump, Marjorie "Jewish Space Lasers" Taylor Greene, and anonymous foreign sources intentionally spreading disaster disinformation.

Here is the FEMA rumor response page which was mentioned in the vid.

Hurricane Helene: Rumor Response

Sadly, one will probably be required for Hurricane Milton.

If you hear anybody spreading disaster disinformation, tell them to STFU. Your outburst may actually save lives this week.

If you want some idea of how Donald Trump would handle this if he were still president, just remember how he mishandled the early spread of COVID-19 in the US. The bullshit he's currently spreading about hurricanes and hurricane relief are comparable to him telling people to drink bleach in 2020.

Uragano Milton Minaccia la Florida: La Sindaca di Tampa Lancia l’Allarme "Evacuate o Rischiate la Vita"

La Florida è di nuovo sotto l’occhio del ciclone mentre l'uragano Milton, classificato come categoria 4, si avvicina minaccioso alle coste dello Stato.

L’uragano Milton si dirige verso la costa della Florida con venti devastanti e piogge torrenziali. Le autorità locali chiedono l’evacuazione immediata per evitare una tragedia.

me reading a nonfiction book that covers the succession crisis after the death of edward vi: yeah i'm still mad about the cancellation of my lady jane

[lodgersims]

Today is the day of Jane's graduation party, and DRAMA stirs the pot. Here she us thinking she'll have to tearfully wait for Martin to graduate college, but just as she's inviting people over, Martin suddenly MAKES OUT WITH ALLEGRA.

The engagement is immediately called off.

Jane is beside herself, so she fights back the only way she knows how - make out with Allegra's boyfriend, who is pretty confused because she friendzoned him last night.

But for some reason Martin and Allegra aren't bothered. Had any of it been genuine at all? Had Martin been playing Jane? Or is it just the woes of sim autonomy? Who knows.

But Jane graduates, and leaves the apartment without a boyfriend or a best friend. No idea where the taxi will take her.

I really hope that the next stephanie garber’s trilogy is about lala and castor.

Gabe Fleisher at Wake Up To Politics:

A few weeks ago, after CNN published its bombshell report about North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, I was texting with a friend. Rumors had been flying around the political world all day about what the report would bring. Now that it had arrived, my friend told me he was unimpressed; it wasn’t as earth-shattering as he’d been expecting. “One day, when your grandchildren ask you what American politics was like in 2024,” I responded, “you can tell them that we learned a gubernatorial candidate called himself a Nazi on a porn website, and your initial response was to shrug.” [...]

The U.S. is currently grappling with two major hurricanes at once — trying to prepare for one while still recovering from the damage of the other. The latter, Hurricane Helene, was the deadliest hurricane to hit the mainland U.S. since Katrina in 2005. More than 200 people have been killed, mostly in North Carolina, but also in Georgia and South Carolina as well. Entire towns in western North Carolina were leveled; some residents have now gone more than a week without running water.

The former, Hurricane Milton, is expected to make landfall in Florida tonight. Forecasters suggest that it could hit Tampa Bay, which was also impacted by the devastation of Helene but has not been in the direct path of a hurricane since 1921. The city is considered uniquely vulnerable to natural disaster; analysts are already predicting damage upwards of $50 billion. Local, state, and federal officials have been pleading with anyone in Milton’s path to evacuate immediately. “I can say this without any dramatization whatsoever: If you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you are going to die,” Tampa Mayor Jane Castor said on CNN earlier this week.

“Several years ago I asked [the National Hurricane Center] to show me what the worst case storm hitting Florida would look like,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) posted on X. “What they showed me back then is almost identical to the #Milton forecast now.” With both storms hitting the U.S. only weeks before a heated presidential election, it is not shocking that they has quickly been sucked into the political discourse. America has a long history of election-year disasters becoming talking points on the campaign trail, from Hurricane Andrew hurting George H.W. Bush in 1992 to Hurricane Sandy boosting Barack Obama in 2012. But the responses to Helene and Milton have been marked by something new: an unprecedented flood of misinformation and conspiracy theories. Don’t take it from me. Take it from FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, who told reporters on a Tuesday conference call that the misinformation surrounding these two hurricanes has been “absolutely the worst I have ever seen.”

Many of the false claims have come directly from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has claimed that: the Biden administration is “going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas” (GOP governors have said otherwise); that “Kamala spent all her FEMA money, billions of dollars, on housing for illegal migrants” (FEMA’s congressionally-appropriated program to help local governments house migrants is completely separate from FEMA’s disaster relief funds); and that “we give foreign countries hundreds of billions of dollars and we’re handing North Carolina $750” (that is merely the amount of aid made available to hurricane victims immediately; over the long run, victims can receive up to tens of thousands of dollars in support). A slew of Trump allies, including X owner Elon Musk, have amplified several other conspiracy theories online. But the prize for Biggest Whopper goes to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who posted — on her official congressional account — this week: “Yes they can control the weather.” The supposed “they” was not immediately identified, although Greene previously suggested in 2018 that California wildfires that year were caused by space lasers linked to the Rothschilds, a prominent Jewish family that has long been the subject of antisemitic conspiracy theories. (Greene posted again about “lasers controlling the weather” this week.) In recent weeks, Hurricanes Helene and Milton have sparked a flurry of antisemitic attacks against Jewish officials involved in the response, including claims that they created the disasters.

In her initial post, Greene attached a video of former CIA Director John Brennan discussing geoengineering, an umbrella term for scientific research into manipulating climate systems in order to mitigate the effects of climate change. Geoengineering remains largely theoretical; it is not possible to geoengineer a hurricane, and the technology has no connection to anything that happened with either Helene or Milton. “Climate change is the new Covid,” Greene asserted in another message. “Ask your government if the weather is manipulated or controlled. Did you ever give permission to them to do it? Are you paying for it? Of course you are.”

Other right-wing influencers advanced the argument. “The weather can and is being manipulated,” Georgia Republican Party official Kandiss Taylor posted to her nearly 60,000 X followers, adding: “[Georgia] voting has been compromised and don’t know if we will be able to get all our early voting days in. Now, a hurricane is coming straight for Florida. These two states are necessary for a Trump victory! No coincidence.” Taylor’s message has received more than 3 million views on X. The theories became popular enough in right-wing circles that Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC), who represents Asheville and most of western North Carolina (the area hit hardest by Helene), issued a press release on Tuesday to reassure his constituents of the falsity of various claims. Near the top of the list? “Nobody can control the weather,” he wrote. The statement, in its entirety, is a fascinating historical document — showing the types of claims that a Republican congressman felt he needed to fact-check in 2024, partially due to misinformation spread by his own colleagues and his party’s presidential candidate.

This piece in Wake Up To Politics by Gabe Fleisher is a must-read on the misinformation/disinformation crisis regarding Hurricanes Helene and Milton, thanks to Donald Trump and MAGA-aligned figures (especially in the right-wing media apparatus).

Bonjour, mon ami!

I've been bothering the manager about letting me get an account forever and finally convinced her to agree!! On the condition that I didn't... "hornypost" or whatever she called it like I did on Yuri's account, or she'd take my privileges away. It's unfortunate, but I'll cope. It took too much heckling to get her to do it, anyway.

admin/blog info under the cut

hi!! we're corvid (they/xe), and i, the main (and probably only) admin, am castor or soleil (he/they/she + too many neos). i don't mind which one you call me ^^ this blog follows @lcbyuri's canon if you couldn't already tell.

ask boundaries are pretty loose; magic anons are fine (i usually treat those like writing prompts but case by case basis ^^) and if i deem them not such i will exercise my blogly right to explode that shit from my inbox. i ask that nsfw/suggestive content is kept to a minimum as that makes me a little bit uncomfortable to write (very funny since marie is the #1 icon of a healthy sex life but jante banned her for a reason), but go wild otherwise! i know my limits. i'll engage in both ic ask answering and more long-form rp and have two different styles so i don't go crazy trying to distinguish ^^ please note that anything that i think beckons a long-form rp response might take me a while to write as i like to write shit the length of one shots. i like going overkill ^^ i also schedule them for posting after i finish because i get anxious otherwise. normal asks aren't scheduled, just long-form.

i'd prefer that no spoilers come my way; for context, i'm in the middle of canto vii's dungeon. i know what canto viii characters look like but if you tell me literally any plot i will block and murder you ^^ /lh

other than that, have a good day!

Let me throw in my two cents for the Rule 63 names just because I wanted to think this through myself. - For the kids, the ones in parentheses are alternate suggestions. - Dawn and Dusk I took from suggestions on here. I love them! - For the trolls there are multiple suggestions because I want their names to have meaning - I'd love to hear your favorites out of all of these Beta Kids: John > Joan (Jess, Joni) Rose > Ross (Rory, Ryan) Dave > Dawn (Davi, Dove, Dani) Jade > Joel (Jace, Jode)

Alpha Kids: Jane > Josh (Jace, Judd) Roxy > Roco (Remy, Ronn, Robb) Dirk > Dusk (Dara, Diri) Jake > Jodi (Jace, Jaka, Joye) Beta Trolls: Aradia > Averan (Lake Avernus was believed to be the entrance to the underworld to the ancient Romans) Abraxa (Abraxas, ruler over many heavens and circles of creation, is labeled as a demon or the God above Gods) Azatho (Azathoth, Blind Idiot God in the Cthulhu Mythos, that only understands his dreams) Azrael (Angel of Death)

Tavros > Tauran (Meaning Bull) Thalia (Ancient Greek word meaning to flourish) Tallos (Talos is a brass made by Hephaestus for Minos) Tarsus (Multiple meanings, one is the distal part of the leg of an insect) Jinniu (The jīn niú zuò, means the golden bull constellation, it’s the chinese name for Taurus) Taurin (Tauri is what stars in the Taurus constellation are designated as)

Kraken (Mythical sea creature) Karmen (Arabic name meaning generous/selfless)

Nepeta >    Leonis (Gamma Leonis is a star in the Leo constellation) Nallus (Nalus meaning to pounce) Nimrod (A mighty hunter before the Lord and a king. His character is similar to Gilgamesh.) Felino (Feline) Kanaya > Kareem (Meaning generous in Arabic) Khamba (Khambalia is a fixed star in the Virgo constellation)

@stephantradez thought he was going to be fine. In his first TikTok about Hurricane Milton, he vowed to stay at his Tampa apartment. In a follow-up video, he said the media was “rage-baiting” everyone into thinking the storm “was going to be some catastrophic thing” but that it wouldn’t be that bad “as long as you can swim.” Late Wednesday night, he posted another video saying that he thought he’d survived but then lost his power. “This is so much worse than I expected,” he said while pointing the camera out the window of his home, showing the destruction from several floors up. Thursday morning, he posted a video saying he’d survived, adding “They have to ban hurricane’s at night, that was the most stressful thing I’ve ever been a part of.”

I attempted to reach the creator through TikTok and Instagram DM, but got no response. @stephantradez, though, was one of many people who kept posting on TikTok, and other social media platforms throughout the storm, despite, as the warning on one of the creator’s videos noted, “participating in this activity could result in you or others getting hurt.”

When Milton made landfall Wednesday night local time in Sarasota, it was a Category 3 hurricane. As it traversed Florida, it took the roof off of Tropicana Field, left millions without electricity, and killed several people. It also became the subject of TikToks with millions of views, and, according to a report in Rolling Stone turned the platform into “a hellscape of people staying in Hurricane Milton’s path for clout.”

While it’s true that some people likely stayed, and kept posting, because there was nowhere for them to go, others definitely seemed to be sticking around in an attempt to keep attention on their feeds. Rather than a hellscape, it became a demonstration of the best and worst of TikTok.

For every mom getting told to flee the storm’s path even as she explains that she can’t afford to, there’s someone saying they’re in an evacuation zone but sticking around while also offering up sports betting tips.

Then there’s Caroline Calloway. The influencer and author, who lives in Sarasota, drew the ire of the internet when she posted on X “where there’s a Callowill, there’s a Calloway” and said she wouldn’t be leaving her home, even as officials were stressing the importance of evacuating. (“You are going to die,” Tampa Mayor Jane Castor warned anyone who stayed put.) In an interview with New York Magazine’s Intelligencer, Calloway said she was staying to check on elderly neighbors, adding that her sense of humor is just “very dark.” On Thursday, she apparently sent a text to Intelligencer’s writer with a picture of herself and her cat with the message “I lived bitch.”

All of this wouldn’t feel so dystopian if the US—and the world—wasn’t hurtling toward a scenario when social media platforms, particularly TikTok, weren’t becoming a lot of people’s go-to news source. Even as Anderson Cooper braves the storm to give CNN viewers updates on Milton, a new report from Pew Research shows 52 percent of Americans who are on TikTok regularly get their news there. Not from media outlets, but from influencers and content creators.

While these accounts may be relying on reports from traditional outlets when they deliver news, their posts are “probably interspersed with a lot of very non-traditional content—like skits, funny dances or promotional content,” Aaron Smith, Pew’s managing director of data labs, told Axios. On-the-ground reporting from influencers, then, becomes mixed with entertainment. Watching it, or, admittedly, writing about it, feels like missing the point.

Biden personally called our mayor's (Jane Castor) cell phone last night and they talked for over half an hour. He asked what we need most right now, and she told him. (Debris removal from the last hurricane, btw.) Also while Milton is going to hit Tampa on the west coast, it's going to be so bad, there will be storm surge on the east coast as well.

Castor also just said: "You pick a fight with Mother Nature, she's winning 100% of the time." If you are in a zone that's been told to evacuate, DO IT. Luckily, Castor also said people are respecting the evacuation orders.

ᰈ ﾟ⋆.˚ 𖥔 Magicae Masterpost ㅤㅤㅤ໒˳ ✶ ⋆ ۫ 𐙚

Co-written with the lovely @ohagiwrites

Writing Masterlist

Synopsis: For as long as anyone can remember, magic has always been a taboo subject. No one really believes in it, the myths of a secret society of people with magical powers nothing but an old fairytale told to kids. But Atlas Zieliński knows better. Growing up in Eden, an organization built to conceal Magicae and protect the human population from the terrorist organization known as The Congregation of the Chosen, he’s always sought to do what’s right, use his powers for good - fulfill his purpose.

Martin had the want to buy a bass, so I got him one. The benefits of living in a house on campus, not a dorm.

Meanwhile, Jane called over Castor to tell him that they should just be friends. He took it pretty well.

Allegra is really getting into fitness for some reason. Good for her?

Megakingdom University Makeovers part one: Sim State University

Since I’m almost done setting up the Megakingdom, I thought I’d actually post these drafts. To recap, I duplicated my medieval downloads folder for the sake of a 6mo aging system and trying out religion, I decided I wanted to try the Megakingdom with these mods and copied it over as well, and then I decided my “makeover the buildings” method was silly and booted all unoccupied lots to the bin, whether I had already made them over or not. If anybody’s keen on seeing the rest of the building makeovers I finished, let me know.

Sim makeovers are still critical however! If you recall, I am using all three premade universities, with different social classes being eligible for different colleges, and all the premade uni sims are my flexible marriage pool.

So here are the sims from Sim State University!

Tri-Var Sorority: Heather Huffington, Tiffany Sampson, and Brittany Upsnott

Frat Brothers: Ashley Pitts, Castor Nova, Joshua Ruben, and Kevin Beare

Bright: Jane Stacks, Allegra Gorey, and Martin Ruben.

Erik Swain, Jimmy Phoenix

Freshman household: Sam Thomas, Ty Bubbler, and Jared Starchild.

Today I finished some re-construction on the BDC Jacoban residence, and then all I really have to do is make sure I didn't forget to finish the Uni makeovers before I can start playing!

...well, I also need to figure out how to handle each subhood's wealth. Because my initial plan was to send all excess money to the local duke, and from there calculate how far into the MCC that subhood should be... but BDC has about $330,000 right from the start. That might be enough to catapult straight to victory, which I don't actually want. I'm thinking about making the wealthiest subhoods pay for the colleges, and maybe send a percentage of this wealth to the King? I'm for sure implementing the rule that the money must be spent to unlock the levels, and isn't just a threshhold; and I'll probably also rule that each subhood may add one unlockable community lot per round, at least to start with?

“World’s worst influencer” Caroline Calloway says she is refusing to leave her Florida home in a “mandatory evacuation” zone — even though she knows it’ll likely kill her.

“So if you’ve been following Hurricane Milton, um, I’m going to die,” the controversial Instagram scammer said in a video Tuesday, a day before the monstrous storm is expected to kill those who refuse to leave.

“It’s supposed to make landfall in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. I’m in Sarasota, I live on the water. It’s a zone A, mandatory evacuation,” she said.

The 32-year-old, an early influencer who hawked workshops that never happened while getting friends to ghostwrite her popular posts, attempted to explain why she’s refusing to evacuate — even while sharing a video of a Florida official warning that those who stay behind “will die.”

“I can’t drive, first of all. Second of all, the airport is closed,” she said of the chaos of those rushing to leave.

“Third of all, the last time I evacuated for a hurricane, I went to my mom’s house in Northport for Hurricane Ian … Her whole street flooded and we were evacuated after three days without power or running water by the US military,” she said.

“It was very traumatic and so I don’t want to evacuate to my mom’s house because the last time I did that, it was the worst time ever!”

She then said she was staying at home with her cat and prepared by filling the backtub with “backup water.”

“We have food but it’s kind of scary…,” she said, adding, “I’ll keep you guys updated.”

Immediately after, Calloway shared a video of Tampa Bay Mayor Jane Castor telling residents who don’t evacuate that “you will die.”

Another image shared by Calloway shows the view of the ocean from her home while also noting that she was “a little concerned.”

The internet starlet later doubled down on her plans to stay at home on X — again acknowledging she might not make it out alive.

“I’m not evacuating for the hurricane. I live in Sarasota, on the beach, in evacuation zone A,” she again said.

“For more great advice, buy my second book! It’s called Elizabeth Wurtzel and Caroline Calloway’s Guide to Life. It’s about to come out if I survive! It’s an advice book ;-) Cute!!!!! <3.”

Calloway, a self-proclaimed “scammer,” notoriously defrauded hundreds of fans who paid for “creative workshops” that never happened, spent a six-figure advance for a book deal that never materialized and sold her own skincare line shamelessly named Snake Oil.

The influencer fled her West Village apartment for Florida several years ago after reports emerged saying she owed $40,000 in unpaid rent.

Calloway was also the subject of a bombshell BBC documentary titled “My Insta Scammer Friend,” which laid bare the impact of the glamorous grifter’s deceptions in interviews with the women who were duped.

Request #1: can you write a fic about the pink ladies being suspicious because jane and olivia are acting weird and while they are at a soc party (that they crash) they see olivia and jane sneak off and then the pink ladies catch them making out in a hall closet (from anon)

Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies masterlist masterlist

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Another Soc party at Dot’s house, and the Pink Ladies heard word of it in the hallway after third period. Of course, just like last year, they are going to crash it. It was Olivia’s idea, and Jane, surprisingly, agreed before Olivia could finish her sentence. 

Last year, when Nancy brought it up that the Socs were having a party, Jane was uncertain. Hesitant. Then again, Jane is more confident now. Carefree. Different, thanks to the Pink Ladies. It has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with Olivia. Or how close the two have been getting since their senior year at Rydell started. 

The lingering glances. Their hands brushing for a brief moment, then retreating as if they remembered that they weren’t alone. Hazel, the most observant of the Pink Ladies, took notice and told Cynthia. Cynthia told Nancy. And now, theories spin among the three of what’s going on with Olivia and Jane.

“Are you sure this is a good idea? Didn’t last year turn out horribly?” Hazel asks, walking beside Nancy and Cynthia on the street towards Dot’s house while Jane and Olivia stay in front of them. 

“For the Soc boys,” Jane chimes in. She tries to hold back her giggles, but lets them go, and Olivia’s own follows. The two lean into each other as their laughter echoes in the empty streets. 

“Poor boys were locked away in the study after we spiked their drinks with castor oil.” 

“You locking them in the study was genius, Olivia! Were you really a girl scout?” Jane asks, her fingertips reaching for Olivia’s, only achieving a light touch against her palm. 

A smirk tugs at Olivia’s lips. “You’re looking at troop twenty-seven’s girls scout cookie champion—selling the most girl scout cookies for five years straight.” 

That must explain Olivia’s determination during Jane’s student council president campaign and the desperate need to change Rydell, make Rydell fun for everyone and not just the Socs and populars and everyone else who didn’t feel like an outcast. 

Although Hazel can’t see it, she can certainly feel it—the awe in Jane’s eyes as she gazes at Olivia. The energy oozes from Jane as it always does, to any of Olivia’s actions that she might find inspiring.

“How charming,” Jane mumbles into Olivia’s ear.

Her determination could be a result of her unbreakable loyalty to Jane. The way that Olivia never left Jane’s side. She fought for Jane beyond what her body and mind could take, even though the world was stacked against them—the possibility of a girl president leading Rydell.

And despite the quarrel that could’ve torn apart the Pink Ladies permanently, they mended things, and it was like nothing ever happened. They were back to being arm-in-arm, telling each other secrets at Pink Ladies sleepovers through whispers in the dark of Jane’s bedroom. Except… closer. Much closer than any of the other Pink Ladies expected. Almost, closer than friends—like Cynthia and Lydia, Hazel thinks. 

When the two run off after arriving at Dot’s house, their hands clasped in each other’s, suspicion rises among the three Pinks. 

...

Jane has never been with a girl before. Neither has Olivia. Not when it’s not normal, when society frowns upon it—two girls being more than just friends. Two girls existing in the way that a girl and a boy might. 

Although Olivia and Jane often let their guards down just a little while around the other Pinks, mostly because of Cynthia, anywhere else, their interactions become more saturated. Olivia tries her best to keep her hands to herself and Jane tries not to gaze at Olivia like she’s a three-course meal at the finest five-star restaurant. 

Alone, well, they finally let go. Breathe.

In one of many Dot’s closets that she has in her house, Jane and Olivia hide out, dodging clothes and jackets and hat boxes as their hands find each other’s waists and lips meet like they have so many times before in the safety of Jane’s bedroom on the weekends or sometimes after school. Outside, the Socs and what’s left of the Pink Ladies play their own kissing game. There’s laughter and music and groans, and all of that is faded in Olivia and Jane’s ears; they’re drowning in each other. Their own pounding heart beats and heavy breaths. 

They forget, that even though they’re alone in this closet, they’re not alone in this house—this very giant house. And they forget the time that passes by. They forget that their kisses are forbidden despite how alive their collided lips make them feel. How Olivia’s lips stain Jane’s in red. 

They forget that the closet door can open and light can shine in on them. An unwanted spotlight. 

No longer shadowed in the safety of the dark, Olivia pulls back, and her hands fall from Jane’s waist. 

“What? Why did you stop?” Jane asks. 

Olivia clears her throat and gestures toward the now open closet door, Nancy, Hazel, and Cynthia standing on the other side stunned. Except for Hazel who’s smiling, her arms crossed. 

“O-oh.” Jane steps away from Olivia and brushes her hands on the skirt of her dress. “We can explain.” 

Hazel shakes her head. “You don’t need to. We made a bet the moment you two ran off. Cynthia and Nancy owe me milkshakes from Frosty’s now.” She says this with pride, a confidence that the Pinks rarely see in her. 

“But we’re happy for the both of you. Surprised—” Cynthia starts, until Hazel cuts her off with her giggling. 

“No, we’re not.” 

There’s a beat of silence, one that’s kind of awkward, as the pair stand still in the closet, their looks moving between Hazel, Nancy, and Cynthia like they’re waiting for one of them to say something. If any of them have something to say. Or the trio is waiting for Olivia and Jane to say something. Denial of their actions. Frantic explanations, even though Hazel said not to explain because they already know. It’s clear, like the night sky on their walk here, and the night sky when they go home. 

And when they do go home, they don’t have to hide it anymore. Not from the other Pinks. Relief settles in them at the thought. 

“Okay. Well… we will, um, leave you to it,” Nancy says, then turns to leave, back to the living room. Cynthia follows closely behind, and so does Hazel after she closes the closet door.

Olivia and Jane are back in the dark, and they can’t help but laugh. Yet those laughs soon die down and end with a kiss.
