I think nobles have them. I remember seeing some? But there were no griffins hidden in them that I knew of.

[ weird. ]

So, hedge mazes are off limits. Anywhere else I should be avoiding?

Puppet show, unless you wanna see how our trials went.

[ it's a rude one. but... he looks around curiously ]

As far as I heard, everything else that week was safe enough.

[ he just mouths "puppet show" ]

... Noted. Avoid the maze, avoid the murder puppets and everything else is golden.

I think as far as dangers went just walking around, the jungle was the most dangerous one, with all the wild animals. [ there's a beat ] ... Maybe the moon.

[ none of these are here it's fine ]

...

Why is the moon out to get so many people?

[ DIDN'T SHINOBU AND CO FIGHT THE MOON? help ]

... Space is bad?

[ yes. ]

[ bro, he was on the station ]

Obviously.

[ hmm ]

But I’ve never had a personal quarrel with the moon.

Me neither, but I've also never been anywhere close to it.

[ so. like. ]

[ quietly: ]

Maybe some things are just better left unknown.

... Like the moon...?

[ seriously: ]

Like the moon.

I’m not sure I even want to know what’s up there anymore. [ he has never thought about what’s on the moon in his life. ]

... Gotta be honest, this is the most I've ever thought about it.

First time for everything. But to be fair, I don't think most people do spend a lot of time thinking about the moon.

Maybe if they've got some kind of space obsession?

I didn’t exactly comprehend space as a … thing? Or understand it until I was floating around in it for eight weeks, so… I don’t think I count as one of those.

[ why are they talking about this i’m in tears ]

[ there's a long pause ]

How did we even get to space. [ mumbling to himself ] Forget the space junk. C'mon, if you want to see something nice, this castle has a spa and a bunch of instruments.

Something about the moon.

[ ah. ]

We've been treated to a lot of spas, haven't we?

It's not the weirdest thing for multiple places to have in common, I guess. Unlike the church thing.

[ Why Religion ]

Oh, I'm not complaining. Morbid question, but did anyone die in this spa too?

[ he's making notes of how anti-spa everyone is. stares at ara from a distance. ]

...

Let's go somewhere else.

[ that's a yes ]

[ he nods. ]

Can't let that stop you or there'd be nowhere to go. [ but they can go somewhere else ]

Realm's a lot bigger than the hotel. C'mon. Let's get you a cupcake.

Oh, is this a bribe?

[ he’s not going to say no? ] We have a multitude of spas-someone-has-died in by this point, I don’t have to see another.

It's a "I know there definitely wasn't a murder in the bakery" bribe, sure.

[ it's a cute bakery! the food is good! have a cupcake and stop talking about murder, yuri. ]

[ their whole lives are murder. ]

It's a bribe I'm willing to take, don't worry.
