You have to move on from the bitter taste of your castle being destroyed toward sweeter visages that will unite you all again. You don’t know if Scarlet is subconsciously manipulating your psyche, but you think the best way to get everyone into a better mood is through getting everyone some ice cream. A great leader has to look out for the future.
As a reward for sticking around, Wilma and Cookie will come alongside in this journey for the frozen sweets – and they’ll have the mighty opportunity to choose their favorite flavor! Rejoice, everyone, being your ally isn’t a humongous waste of time! There’s always ice cream at the end of the corner and not shitty hospital food. The trip begins.
There was a somewhat heated discussion between Wilma and Cookie to decide who gets carried as both can’t be on your back – ultimately, Wilma got her rightful throne back, and Cookie had to walk alongside you. One throwaway joke of yours swayed Cookie from insisting, you only pointed out how they don’t find being carried not even a little embarrassing, but calling them <span class="mu-i">cute</span> shades them red. To be fair, both felt self-conscious, but Wilma was a little more shameless.
There is a small shop right outside the beach area, you got a bunch of sweet goods, paid with some of the money you earned yesterday. The clerk showed his surprise about the sudden weather change, but nothing else of note happened there, you did find him familiar, but you couldn’t put your finger as to why.
In your hands you carry the little frozen treasure chest (a cooler) full of sweet booty.
“Hey, Phil, before we go back, I wanted to ask you something...” Cookie stops licking her ice cream bar. “Who’s your favorite between us?”
“…Favorite?” Wilma doesn’t like where this question is going.
“Do I have to answer?” You don’t like it either!
“What’s the big deal? You have been with us all, haven’t you? I doubt it was easy with Chio, but I imagine you found a way to manage.” Cookie is being too nonchalantly about it!
“…!!!” Wilma doesn’t remember that!
“Why are you turning red…? You acted like it was not a big deal, didn’t you?” Cookie is plenty confused. Wilma shakes her head rapidly. “Wait… What are you thinking?”
“…!” Wilma asks you to approach Cookie to whisper something in her ear. You do so.
“UM, HUH, UHM! N-NO! THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT!” Cookie gets all flustered. “I wanted to know who’s your favorite to carry! It was a silly question to pass the time! I didn’t mean <span class="mu-i">that</span>…! Wilma, you’re spening way too much time with Grace!”
“Oh, well, that’s something I can answer…” No, not really. Have you carried Chio…? You remember grabbing Mirjam and Grace to do a pantomime for Yareli. Does that count? You’re not prepared at all.
