"People in the performance can hear it better than everyone else. They can learn their part better by learning cues in the others' parts. But they still need to see their music to avoid cacophony. If my 'performance' was beautiful, I would think that I'd know."

"You're focusing on the negative again," Pic hummed. "People who want the best for everyone tend to do that, and it eats away at their insides. I'd prefer your insides to be whole." Pic smiles, pecks Aventine on the cheeks and lets go of her. 

"I'm going to go find Tal, if you want to come, feel free. Something wasn't quite right with him, and I gotta see what it is."

“You don’t-want to-“ Tal said desperately. Then he sneered. “You can’t help anyway. You’re useless, pathetic, and naive.” He shook his head rapidly.

She bowed her head. He was right. “I do want to. But you’re right, I provable can’t. I’m me after all.”

Jar Man takes a drink of something, wobbles for a second, his body fizzing out of reality, then reforming, then he points to where Tal is. "Over there"

"Yeah... I'll go." And make things worse once again.

Shut up! Shut up shut up shut up shut up SHUT UP!

Pic walks with the three down to the basement. He shoots concerned looks in Avenntine's direction as they walk to the basement, but doesn't say anything. He seemed content to simply hum.

"Addison! what ever it was that you did in the past can be forgiven and forgotten here with us."

Pic nodded. “We can deal with that in a little bit,” he hummed. “I’m here to watch Tal.”

She wrote back:

Thank you for being willing to help. Our plan was to raid the cult’s base of operations first. According to my friend, there may be innocents involved. We’re bringing a “human lie detector” to figure out whether to trap them or not.

We didn’t think about when the sigil would be removed. I’m guessing either on the dead world, or after we return from it.

She sealed the missive and sent the crow on its way.

A day or two had passed since the crow first came, with that missive about a dead world.

When again it came, Calano was doing the dishes while his wife Emma entertained the girls. The crow rapped on the window with its beak, cawing once.

”Love, could you open the window?” Calano asked.

Emma obliged, and the crow hopped onto the counter.

”Is this the one you told me about?” She asked, “The message from old friends at the Clinic?”

The crow looked at Calano and nodded.

”Aye, it is.” Calano dried his hands on a towel. “Give your message, my friend.”

The bird recounted his message.

Emma looked thoughtful.

”Something on your mind?” Calano asked her.

”Just concerned,” She said, “I’m worried you’ll throw yourself into this battle. Like all the ones before.”

Calano smiled reassuringly, “Not to worry, I already have vowed not to.”

Emma nodded. Calano composed his response.

My advice is this: Find a way to trap the Cult on the dead world. Once they are trapped, at the very least temporarily, remove the sigil from your friend in a manner that seals the magic from it to the dead world. Included in this response is a vial. Once you are ready, shatter it at your feet, and it will alert me to seal the world permanently. No one will get in or out. Your friend will be healed, the Cult will be sealed, and all will be well.

The crow landed on her shoulder, and she read the missive before showing it to Jar Man.

”You think this will work?” she asked, pocketing the vial.

"Alright. I'll send another message back when we're done here." The last part was directed at the crow, who then hopped down and interacted with Trevor (who had been with Tal the entire time but I always forgot to say so).
