Shortly after the fiasco at the priest's house, a letter arrived for Charles Elias written by his mother.
It read:
Dear Charles Elias,
My darling son! Thank you so much for your response to my letter, I was so happy to hear from you again.
I am, sadly, writing to you today with sad news.
Your great uncle Josef Olafsson has died.
He was getting on in years, and I'm told he didn't suffer before passing.
But it's still a great loss for us all.
We held the funeral for him a few days ago, and everyone who could come was there.
Both of Josef's children were there, and this is the first time in a long while that Anna has been back in the village since she moved away years ago.
I cannot imagine how hard it must be to lose a parent who you couldn't visit very often, and I hope she doesn't feel too devastated by the loss.
I think, however, that the one who is taking the loss the hardest is poor uncle Vilhelm.
He is now the last surviving sibling of seven, and I cannot begin to imagine how painful that must be.
Losing one sibling was painful enough for me, the pain of losing six must be devastating.
How do you cope with such a loss?
I hope none of you ever have to lose a sibling for a long, long time to come.
But enough of my fretting!
I will continue to pray for your continued well-being, and please give Theodore my regards.
Please do not feel bad about not being able to come to the funeral. I am sure that Uncle Josef understands, and you may send him your love by lighting a candle for him at your new church.
With love,
Théodora Park
1783
Rest in Peace Josef Olafsson
1729 - 1783

our shining girls for skip to loafer day!!
[ID: A black and white drawing of Yuzuki, Mika, Mitsumi, and Makoto from Skip to Loafer, wearing their outfits from chapter 32. It is a fake screenshot of an instagram-like app, and shows the four in a photo under Mika's account (@mikaaa_Egsr0729) captioned "Studying hard!!". They are standing next to each other with Yuzuki leaning in and doing a peace sign behind Mika's head, Mika has her hands posed in a heart whilst holding her phone to take the photo, Mitsumi holding up a peace sign with the thumb out, and Makoto standing neutrally. All of them are smiling. /end ID]

“Hotarubitale” - for @dreemurr-skelememer about their AU story and OC, Gin 🌸 A gift from the event @gyftmas2022 :^D
A story about a skeleton fated to be far apart from everyone he loves and yearns to be close with, but despite being far apart, tries to be there for them in his own ways……

"Ich weiß, dass es nicht gesehen wird. Wir haben gesehen, dass es einen neuen Krieg gegeben hat. Aber das ist ein Grund eben weiter daran zu glauben. Denn was bleibt, wenn wir nicht daran glauben, dass ein Fortschritt möglich ist? Was bleibt?"
Erich Maria Remarque, 1962
My attempt to explain the quote ID ->
Basically he said, he would never stop writing though his messages had been ignored all the years. You have to continue your work no matter what and don't stop believing. What's left, if you lost all hope?

wanting to echo Sae's message for a hot second because you have genuinely helped make my time in the HSR community so grand. and I LOVE that I can be salty with you in DMs 😌👌but it's just that you're so fun to talk to, and your portrayal of Caelus simply goes next level in terms of depth. I can't look at him the same now ♥️
Y'know, welcome to a similar boat!
Giving a genuine count? I still been here for like a sum total of say like-- three months. Only three! On top of pretty much coming here as a genuinely new person (with a bit of being known elsewhere), it leaves me in awe in how I've been welcomed by y'all all the same. You've dove into my dms, my threads, and we've really just been making fun stories while letting this be a time to just kick back.
I'm really appreciative of that Blu. My motto for whenever I sit around a place is to just carve in my comfy little end of presence. Considering how things panned out, I've genuinely got a lot more active than I first imagined, and I wholly intend to take it for the long mile too.
Caelus as a muse is just fun to me. The sort where not only do I really appreciate the spirit they exemplify in the serious and the casual (chaotic especially), but there's so many points I genuinely feel like I can play with this. Lessons he's learned in his journey, what his circumstances led him to be, among the idle details such as how he loves to tackle the day to day.
It really helps me answer the 'what if' perspective in spades. Whenever I get an opportunity to do that, I just find myself going in without a lick of hesitation. So from this upstart Trailblazer to your lovely muses, let this be a cheer for many more of the fun days to come. I appreciate you.
