It floats away, a small wish with tears and a little regret

[ After the entire trial, Clarith gets to work. If Rii-san won't make the memorials, she will, and if Rii-san does, she'll supervise. And then, she'll slip a letter under each door. ]

Please join me in the gardens for a funeral and then a wake in the first floor rest area.

- Sister Clarith

[ When people arrive, Clarith is waiting with her Levin Bible in hand. Afterward, they can all file into the rest area, where hopefully someone has made food! She's sure someone would have, but she wanted to just... Get the funeral done. ]

Oh...

...Should I call you that too then? I can if you want.

[serrata]

... if you like.

[ She gives him a little smile. ]

It's what my friends call me, after all.

[shikosuki]

Okay.

[ a pause ]

...Rii-chan. Since you're my junior.

[serrata]

... That actually sounds a lot cuter than I would've expected.

[ NOT THAT SHE'S PROTESTING... ]

[shikosuki]

It does, doesn't it?

I bet you're more used to being talked to like a senpai too.

[ You TOTALLY read like a big sis/senpai figure Rii

...which is what she is, but y'know ]

[serrata]

Like you wouldn't believe. It was Yuki-chan's favourite thing to say: "Rii-san, you're just like everyone's big sister!".

[ She sounds more fondly exasperated than anything else, though. ]

It's not that I mind, of course, but... it's just nice. Not having to be everybody's big sister all the time.
