[Alice looks into the camera, looking underslept. She never did go back to sleep after waking up several hours before sunrise.
More than that, however, she's determined to tug on this thread she's been given.]
I have a question for any of the Mirrorbound who are still left: did any of you have a strange dream last night?
I ask because I did. It felt as vividly real as the other times we've been pulled into dreamscapes, but this time I was alone. I was called to a large and pulsating flower in the forest by my own voice, which promised me whatever I wanted if I just stepped into it.
And then I woke up with this.
[She shows her right hand to the camera. It's marked with a flower (a striking a crimson against her pale skin, but that detail is obfuscated by the watch's sepiatone) that looks somewhat like a pitcher plant.]
I'd like to hear from anyone else this may have happened to, and compare notes.

[The ability of the Coven to correctly predict and explain things is tenuous at best, but there's been no other plausible explanation for the Mirrorbound beyond the frustratingly nihilistic "just because."]
If it is coming to an end, I suppose I should feel happy. And I do. But part of me is also... sad. And afraid.

[Most of the records about it don't have much in the way of successful hits back against the Cwyld short of burning a lot of things. He can see why some people, and particularly Alice, might be worried about going back, though, and he gives a reassuring sort of smile.]
We can't know what it coming to an end means until we get there. For now, it's best to just take things a day at a time.
[He's a little worried himself, in large part because of the chance of the prevalent Mirrorbound theory that they're not actually their "real" selves coming true. If there's a chance for them to leave here once their work is complete, he would think that's when their nature will come out.]
