[ on the night leading up to a certain fated day, ishmael takes a long deep breath before pressing POST. ]

For those who've just arrived or who wasn't aware of what had happened last month, we'd had some casualties during our mission in Transylvania. And while two of them had been successful revived, there was one person who wasn't able to make it despite countless efforts.

I have coordinated with Ereshkigal, the goddess of death, and by extension a fellow god of death, Tezcatlipoca. Wriothesley's funeral will be held on the 20th, at a certain beach in Okinawa. I have placed the coordinates down below should you wish to attend. There will be the final viewing of the casket in the morning, and in the afternoon he will be cremated and his ashes will be scattered into the sea, in hopes that he will make a safe return to his homeland in Teyvat.

[ ... ]

This might be ill-timed for some of you. Most of us are grieving and recovering in different ways, and I will not force you to come if you have other pressing issues to attend to. But if you'd like to to put down your parting words for him here or to me privately, I will see to it that your words will reach him.

Otherwise, anyone who's known him - whether as a friend, acquaintance, a brother figure or a confidant - is invited. If you are neither of these, just tell me if you'd like to attend out of respect anyway. Please wear black for the occasion. If you have any other questions, let me know.

...Thank you.

sry about that
lilith didnt rly have a good explanation 4 it but it was some kinda glitch?
i just popped back home 4 a while

i was worried abt u guys though
had a bad feeling

Yeah, the previous mission sure happened. A lot of us here are still processing it.

Honestly, it's for the best that you weren't here at the time. You could've turned into one of those Bloodfiends. Er, vampires.

ya thats wat i heard
thanks 4 the thought
but id rather get turned in2 a vampire than leave u all 2 fight by urselves like that

[ it's not his style to dwell on the what-ifs, but he can't help thinking that if he'd been there, he could have done something. No, he would have! ]

You say that now, but would you really want to have a thirst for blood that last for weeks instead of... I don't know, what you usually eat?

[ what do speedy hedgehogs eat anyway............. ]
