[She looks like she's been crying for a while when she goes to seek Varian out, but. Well. It's fine, probably.

Either way—]

Ion... left a letter for you in the Owlery. I had to give it up as evidence, but I... thought you should know so you can request it after the trial.

[...]

I can tell you what it said if you want to know before then.

It was, but you can't blame yourself for this. It's not your fault, Varian. [She's trying to keep a level voice here, but it's... hard. Doesn't stop her from giving it her best attempt, though.] Ion decided this for himself. You can't take that choice away from him by putting the blame on yourself.

lmao

That doesn't make it better. He was always-- he was always doing things that are bad for him, because he didn't care about himself. I knew that. I knew that.

[ he's upsetti. :( ]

I should've... I should've stopped him somehow.

gets back to this late to say 🖕

Listen to me, please. It's not your fault, Varian.

[He produced exactly one (1) corpse and it wasn't Ion. Gosh!!]

You're not psychic. You couldn't have known that he was going to pull something like this this week. Saying you should have known isn't— It's not going to solve anything. It's just going to make you feel like shit.
