❝You still don't know your sin?
That in itself, is the sin.❞

It was nice to be here, away from everyone else, to just be in a room for herself and Miiko to talk. They were safe from Stella's cruel lecturing words, they were safe from Essie's mocking hate-filled words, here was a safe place where she could be with Miiko and wouldn't have to worry about what anyone else said, at least until the return to Yavin was over. It would take them a few hours, and by nightfall they will have made it back to their home, and Essie would see the World Tree for the first time. "We're twins." Rose elaborated, just in case Miiko was curious. "I'm older by a few minutes, but, u-um, she was always the strong, popular one that everyone liked." Prisca only ever had one friend throughout her life, and in the end even that one friend - her own sister - wanted nothing to do with her.
Essie had the right to be mean. Prisca ruined everything, and Essie was allowed to express her feelings for it all. And here was Miiko, still in tatters because of what she experienced, being captured like that. "I'll look more carefully at us from now on, I won't let them take you again." Prisca leaned in and pressed her forehead to Miiko's, a gesture similar to what Essie always used to do to her, a nostalgic echo of the past. If she had been stronger, then Miiko would never have had to have gone through something so frightening. "M-Miiko... you're the princess, so it's everyone's job to protect you." She smiled then, knowing Miiko's heart. "But just because you're a princess doesn't mean you're not allowed to be cool and help fight! You just need more experience and practice doing both." Miiko was strong enough to be able to summon Rose, after all, and Rose was a pretty strong Spirit. No doubt that meant her Caster had the untapped potential to become truly great.
With a fearful heart and trembling hands it was finally time for Prisca to open up and tell Miiko everything about her. This process was something every pair of Spirit and Caster was supposed to go through - teaching the Caster who the Spirit was, what they're capable of, everything. It was supposed to promote bonding and mutual strength - but Prisca had been too afraid to do that, because of how deep her sin was. And yet Miiko didn't seem to be put off by what she did, she accepted it... and she didn't throw her away. "Because of one girl's stupid heart, hundreds of people, children, were killed." She pressed her hand to her heart and shivered, trying to stop her sobbing. "It'll be a cross... that I'll always have to bear. But... Mimi... if it's not too heavy, I'm glad I could share it with you.' Against all expectations, Miiko had handled it with grace.
A few hours later they finally made it to Yavin's shores and it was time to disembark and put the Yavinese Fleet back into the shipyard, safe from outer eyes viewing in, so they wouldn't know about the army of boats. Kennan's eyes were glowing even as he was let down from the boat with help from Daisy. "This was so exciting!" Kennan had vomited at all the death he saw, but he was even more excited now. "My blood is pumping, I want to fight next time, okay?" He grabbed Sanaa's arm and pulled on it. "Next time you're coming too, so we can kick all the asses together!" Sanaa looked sick and had no idea how to respond to that. Essie let out a held breath and stared with respect. "So that's the World Tree, huh." She said, looking over at Stella. "I guess this is home now."
