Mahiru is in the center because everyone loves her.

They don't know about one girl breaking into a closed circle time loop and rewriting the narrative when she should have been hollowed out but couldn't give up because the other half of her flame was right there, trapped, stagnant through someone else's desires, and she needed to break that cage even if it meant doing the impossible, even if it might have meant becoming trapped again herself.

They don't know about the two girls who rewrote a tragedy through their refusal to let their love be doomed and empty, who saved those around them in their pursuit of saving each other, who took a story that was always meant to end in tears and insisted that this time it would end with hope.

There's a certain poetry to finishing this right as it's getting dark and blue outside.

Certainly!

I was loosely following a wassail recipe I found but made some substitutions, and this might be closer to a mulled cider than a true wassail, but either way it's delicious.

Ingredients:

-64 floz (~2 litres) of apple cider

-5 mid sized oranges

-1 regular or 2 small lemons

-1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

-3 or 4 cinnamon sticks (I used three since one was chonky)

-fresh ginger root (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger)

-15 whole cloves or 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

-1 Tablespoon of honey

Optional: your choice of rum or brandy

Preparations:

Juice four of the five oranges and your lemon(s). Slice the fifth orange and poke the whole cloves into the slices.

Thinly slice the ginger root. I ended up only using one of the two pictured, and each of those were about 4 inches long or so.

Add all of the ingredients to your cooking vessel and bring to a medium heat. You want to see a bit of bubbling in the liquid (not a rolling boil) and a froth/foam will form on top. This is fine!

Reduce to a low simmer (around a 3 out of 10) for 30-40 minutes. Stir everything in the pot in about five minute intervals.

Storage:
