[ Wrath is beside Emilia, as are Wrathion and Wei Wuxian.
She has been here before, blood-drenched and weary. A bearer of violent tidings. The only difference is she speaks with a bluntness she could not afford in Alem, a compromise that stings her to this day. ]
Matthias is dead. I killed him, though I could not have done it alone.
[ It was not pretty. ]
For those of you who feel some of Matthias's power now, I have a suggestion.
[ Here, Wei Wuxian taps a finger on the side of his nose before smiling, small and tight: ]
Help seal away Anurr's power and bind him to his current body. Then disperse anything remaining.

Mostly, I feel ... strange. I can feel his power in me, so different from my own.

Who did you expect?

She hesitated, sighs.]
Honestly, I didn't have a person in mind. I didn't know what else to say.
[A small smile.] Mark the date, I'm speechless.

[ Weary, melancholy, but as satisfied as she is capable of being. Hmm. ]
I will help however I may.
[ Dispersal will be...considered, but she has other thoughts from other habits. ]

[ She means that, for all that she sounds weary and grim herself. ]
You've helped plenty already by securing us one of the beacons.
[ But she will not turn more help down. This is still not quite over yet. ]
no subject
[ If she isn't doing something productive, she will have to think too much, and that's far more unpleasant. ]
...Are you well? Do you require anything for your own sake?

[ This power feels strange and uncomfortable in many ways and Rin would like to get rid of it. Besides, she's seen what happens when people try to play with mortality, thank you.
But if she can do something to help beforehand, she'll certainly do that. ]

[ The more of them that chip in, the greater their odds. ]
May I ask what your skillset is?

[She doesn't think anyone will be mourning Matthias anytime soon. Still, hopefully this will be the start of something new for this place, rather than simply descending into more decay.]
Are you all okay?
no subject
[ That's all that can be asked for at this point, really. ]
You? Your siblings?
no subject
Haven't seen Five myself yet, but he checked in. And Ben's okay. Now all that's left is to decide what comes next.
[They have a week to think about it. That's enough time, right?]

Emilia has been so focused on the threat before them, and the one that always follows... this isn't a choice she has given a lot of thought to making, perhaps purposefully. If she would talk about it with anyone, however, it would be Allison. ]
Do you have any cigarettes left? [ Because they could both use and deserve one, really. ]
no subject
[So she is definitely open to sharing, you just need to tell her where to meet you.]

He doesn't feel confident in himself to go anywhere near Anurr, but he gave Wei Wuxian his suggestions. ]
Had to be done. [ He doesn't need to ask, but he does anyway. ] Did you burn his body?

If anyone understands ugly necessities, it is indeed Five Hargreeves.
Emilia releases an exhale, nodding to him in assurance. ] Only ash is left.
no subject
Instead she continued to fight for them, protected his family, and never strayed from what this was all leading to. ]
That's it then. [ He needs time to process what that means, but first he'll say what needs to be said. ] We all owe you a debt.

[ Emilia can't quite get over how terrible this young girl's fate was. Her father the architect of her death and ruin, then abandoning all memory of his accountability, and dooming the world over to get her back when she does not wish for it. ]
