Excelsior

Yeah, with a crit on the die.

You know your mother.

even in the ways that she like holds and guards herself.

And in that like spike of anxiety of is my mother unsafe?

Is this reaction her letting something slip?

You realize that all of that like coiled predator that you've associated with her is turned in fury on your behalf.

She is furious.

trying to remain calm for you as someone in her family is threatening her child.

You have other siblings.

They don't have her name.

If you feel comfortable with letting me know where you are exactly at any point.

Please feel free to do so, but since I have no idea where this is originating, I would like to praise you once again for your tack.

Can you check in with me again in the next 12 hours?

Yes.

I think that sense of barely contained urgency is perfectly mirrored by your choir.

And there is sound and movement filling up on the other side as like...

people are in the room now like she's calling in everyone and trying and like is moving with the same urgency though it is also like equally tense and held

Great.

Thank you.

My compliments to Excelsior for making this.
