Canon Update & Catch-All
Who: Towa Herschel and YOU
When: January 4th, and throughout the month
Where: Mirror House, Aefenglom and Dorchacht
What: Towa's canon update takes place and she tries her best to move forward following.
Warnings: Major spoilers from Trail of Cold Steel 3 up to and including the ending especially for the first prompt, but they may come up in the latter two as well. Mentions of death and generally dark themes of betrayal, political unrest, and supernatural disaster.
I. Mirror House
[Towa had not returned to the Mirror House in quite some time, but for some reason, today she felt she simply had to go. All other plans were put off that morning so that she could return not only to the house, but to the specific mirror that she knows is her own.
Hesitantly, her fingers grace the surface of the mirror.
Months pass in her mind, but in reality, it only takes a few minutes for the mirror to impart the knowledge to her in vivid detail. Her eyes widen, a far-away glazed look in them. And when it all sinks in, the strength in her legs gives way and she drops to the floor before the mirror.
A pained wail comes out of her mouth; tears staining her cheeks. For a few moments she truly allows herself to feel the full impact of her sorrows. Of course-- she allows herself this under the impression that there's no one to see her break. But it's not as though she has the proper presence of mind to be entirely sure that that's truly the case.]
II. Aefenglom
[If it weren't for the puffy look in her eyes, one might not think anything was different than normal. She goes to a local cafe to eat-- but at one point, accidentally drops her cup; trying to pick up the pieces and cutting her hand in the process.
Or you may find her missing her step off of a curb, or tripping for not stepping high enough.
Whatever scene you find her in, it's clear that her mind is elsewhere and she's allowing it to get the better of her.]
Oh-- I'm so sorry, I can't believe I'm so clumsy...
[She's fine. Or probably will be.]
III. Dorchacht
[With the heavy weight on her mind of everything happening, Towa's ultimate goal is to stay busy. Stay strong. If not for herself, then for the sake of the others who would rely on her. That's the best thing she can do for herself right now. Not let them down.
One thing she wanted to do was verify the changes in Dorchacht. While she was skeptical that so much could have happened in such a short time when they'd struggled to make even the smallest of impacts, she would like to believe the good news. It would be nice if there was something good to celebrate.
There are others who've likely had the same idea. Seeing a face that she might recognize as one of Aefenglom's mirrorbound, she smiles weakly in greeting.]
I guess I'm not the only one who wanted to see how things were going.
IV. Wildcard
[Anything else, discussed or otherwise!]

The chill air outside washes his face as they exit the Mirror House. They walk silently several more steps away, and when he finds a bench Wataru invites her to sit with him. ]
Do you need some water? [ He motions at his bag. ] I have some on me.
no subject
Once they're seated, she nods. Her throat was a bit dry from the screaming and crying, even though she's sure that she did more of that back home than she had allowed herself to do here yet. Maybe it was because she still partially felt so separated from it all, but regardless she knows she has to start working to come to terms with it.]
Water would be great. Thanks...
no subject
Drink as much as you need. Then we'll talk, if you still want to.
no subject
...I was called back here. I don't know why. But when I came, I saw images from back home. Things I didn't remember before, but that I was clearly there for.
[It sounds crazy, even to her. Until now, she didn't know something like that was even possible. But she knows what she saw-- she felt it. She can't ignore how real it all was. Even if she wished that it was nothing more than a sorry nightmare.]
no subject
Could it be you have seen your own future through the mirror?
[ He muses quietly. There's no way one could be in both this world and theirs at the same time unless it was a sort of dreadful omen. ]
