Book 23 [video]

[witchoftheweek]

[Cut to Patchouli's plant. You can see little apples-said by some to be the fruit of knowledge due to mistranslations-growing, but more importantly, are the flowers surrounding them. A breed of plant that is known as...patchouli.]

They're mocking us. I know they are.I have a request for the doctor's and any other individuals that wish to help

...Patchouli, mine is growing mushrooms.

[Her voice is much more...subdued, than it had been previously.]

...what is it?

[witchoftheweek]

Kirisame...of course

Flandre...do you know what was in those meals Sakuya prepared for you?

[u_n_asplode]

...Marisa is making my plant grow mushrooms?

[...]

...no.

[She gets the feeling that this will be unpleasant.]

[witchoftheweek]

I believe it may be your friendship with her that is causing it.

...Sakuya mixes them with human blood.

[u_n_asplode]

...

[She doesn't sound horrified, or sickened, or frightened. Or...much of anything, really. A little note of concern colors her voice when she does speak again, however; it wavers, a little.]

...was any of it Marisa's?

[witchoftheweek]

[Oh Kirisame. Such a double edged sword]

No. The humans eithier donated it freely, or...were already deceased and had no use for it.

[u_n_asplode]

...hmn.

[Well, that was a little better. Still...]

...so I didn't have to bite anyone before.

[Flandre's voice has adopted that same flat monotone as before, too.]

[witchoftheweek]

It was not your fault Miss Flandre.

It was mine for not telling you and taking steps for this.

[u_n_asplode]

...I still bit someone. And put toothmarks in their arm.

[Her voice doesn't convey any irritation...or shame, or fear.]

[witchoftheweek]

...And did you feel that was right?

[u_n_asplode]

The part where blood was everywhere or the part where I got sick and got blood more everywhere?

...the person seemed nice.

[witchoftheweek]

[Sighs]

I suppose the chip has altered your metabolism; you need to drink blood, but your body can't process it.

...You realize that biting others is wrong, though.

[u_n_asplode]

[...]

It hurts.

[witchoftheweek]

...I'm sorry.

[u_n_asplode]

...what?

My teeth are pointy and probably hurt. Why are you apologizing?

[witchoftheweek]

...I should have taken steps to prevent this.
