ready as we'll ever be
[The Balladeer is true to his word. So, before the dead's scheduled performance, still dressed in the outfit Salieri forced him to helped him choose, he takes his guitar and sneaks out to the garden one last time. He hasn't visited it yet today, and he always feels guilty when he doesn't manage. He told everyone he'd be here. Even if neither of them can hear each other, he intends to keep his promise.
So he's there to notice when the trees begin closing in. The Balladeer shoots to his feet. Oh, no. He knows this feeling.]
Everyone! Come out to the garden! Bring your stuff!
[He calls out aloud, but he can use that projection trick just as well as the Player - his voice is audible anywhere in the school.
When people arrive to join him, there will still be a path through the woods to lead them to the garden. He doesn't want to strain himself before the performance, but something as small as that shouldn't cause problems later. It's too important that everyone get out here - because when people arrive, they'll find that all of the living are visible. The Balladeer is watching them, but making no attempt to interact; he already knows how this is going to go. It isn't time for that yet. Still...]
It's the end.
[Have fun spectating the trial!]

And all she's done lately is play video games all night WHOOPS. ]
Electric.... waves... weakening...
[ Which translates to: she's also out of fucking breath and staggering until she's all but outright falling against him. ]
Uuuu...

[HANG ON BOYFRIEND'S GOTCHA-
Varian pivots on his heel and catches Rina as she falls against him, holding her up easily as she struggles to catch her breath. He laughs softly, because he's still panting too, and rubs her back between her shoulders.]
Lean on me and rest, you've earned it.
[And you've also earned a lil kiss on the head just because he feels like it.]

Awawawa... thank you...
[ She's gonna just lean on him more, eyes cast down as he kisses her head. Her voice is quiet again. ]
...No matter what happens now...
...I love you a lot. Okay?

[He'll keep his arms around her, giving her a gentle squeeze.]
I'll be here with you, no matter what.

[ She was scared before but... seeing the reactions and hearing the others... she starts to thinking it'll be okay. That they really can... stay together
itsumo.She shifts a little so she can wrap her arms loosely around his middle. ]
