this boy's hair is so mystifying
[ what a fucking day. laurence rubs his face, grimacing as the scene replays in his head all over again. ]
At least it's over. I don't want to have to see something like that ever again.

No way. If someone leaves the Tower, they just go through the door, even they're getting thrown out. This was way too extreme.
[ tilts head but he'll just assume the awkwardness is because a guy just died. that does make things pretty weird around here.
he nods. ] It's where I grew up. I've heard of trials and people getting thrown out for breaking the rules before, but they do everything differently here.

What's a boarding school?
[ shakes head ]
No, the Tower's just a safe place for demiflora. There is a school, but demiflora of all ages live there.

[ two teens making sad confused noises at each other ]
Oh. I guess it's kind of like that, since we do live there...? [ except old people also live there. ] Demiflora are people with supernatural abilities. We're not actually flowers, that's just how they named us to tell us apart easily.

I'm a Daphne, so I can teleport. Or I could, if it was working. Apparently we lose any powers we had when we die.

I think some of them might have done something to leave already if they had their powers. Or at least to stop Jiaoqiu from getting hurt.
[ alas... powerless. ]
Spawncampers hunt demiflora outside the Tower because of our powers.

I guess...? [ he doesn't seem to get the reference. ] The Tower's safe, but it's only because we follow the rules. And it's not like you break them once and you're done - it just depends.
[ at least he thinks so? that's how it should be. ]
It's the tradeoff of living in the Tower, especially with powers as dangerous as demifloras' can be. Everyone knows it's safer, so there aren't usually any problems.

Not really. The Tower's pretty big. There's plenty of space to run on the top floor... it's even got grass.
[ fake grass, probably, but you know. it gets the job done. ]
I think there are just too many of them to stop.

I don't think so. We have to go to school and some special assemblies and stuff, but we're allowed to do whatever on our own time, as long as it doesn't break rules. And there are thousands of people there, not... less than forty.
It's weirder being here, I think. I'm not used to seeing so few people... or so much open space.

[ he's so on edge this startles a sort of half-laugh out of him. ]
It's pretty huge. [ as to that... laurence shakes his head. ] No. Last I knew, I was in my room for lights out. There shouldn't have been any danger at all.
What about you?

I know what you mean. It sounds like half of the people here put themselves in danger on the regular.
I thought about asking the angels about what happened, but they didn't even know what "misdeeds" I committed to end up here. They probably won't have answers.

I don't know. Maybe they got stuck here when they agreed to help us. They did say they got trapped somewhere too, on Thursday night.
Or think about what to do when you got back. [ wait ] Unless you're not planning to go back...?
