HONEY, TELL ME—

"you're angry with me," she asks with an indifferent tone. even with the ex-penacony head's iron grin on her tie, she all but remains detached as she tries to break free. "it doesn't suit you."

sunday doesn't reply. he can't think of one as too many thoughts swim in his mind. does he ask for her reasons? if she's a supplicant in the phantasmoon games? what she's plotting with a masked hare? all good questions, but his mind has already decided for him.

"why did you leave?"

it comes out softer, almost like a plea, as if he's holding back an insurmountable amount of tears behind his angry eyes. lysa doesn't reply, only presses her lips into a thin line as her finger ghosts over the collar on her neck.

"i didn't."

"yes, you did!" he counters, voice rising in volume as he tugs her forward. their foreheads nearly touch, noses just barely grazing each other's as sunday continues. "i care not for how you did it, how you fooled even me with your little tricks. but i want to know why. why did you leave?"

why did you leave me?

"oh sunday," she whispers, not condescending, not even teasing. just blank. tilting her head to the side, her teal eyes shine differently under the light of this world, he mentally notes. a little clearer, but no less hard to decipher. and he follows the way they fall to his lips. "you know i can't tell you."

snake is her familiar, where does it come from? idk. its size? depends on the room. can be as small as it wants and as big as it wants. what its name. no idea. ive had this lethe for 4 years and never bothered to name her damn pet. either way this thing usually hides itself in the form of lethe's snake earring, the one on her brooch is a red herring (its actual metal bye)

her silhouette is usually very sharp or slender sans for the hair. hair is usually in a s shape (even if vaguely), its length depends on convenience. usually when she's moving it'll follow the line of action with her

mirror is how she communicates with vip clients while on the move and not in her office!

in terms of her covered eye. it is probably just a socket atp or a really really badly scarred one it's missing bc of a magic related injury when she was young i havent rlly fleshed it out yet but that thing does not work and if you lift the patch theres a lot of blistered skin etc etc

her working eye is brown! i just rendered it to how it looks when sunlight hits it. wowza

UNIBERSIDAD NG PILIPINAS! carry that maroon flag with pride.

(@cryoculus) → first guess hasn't changed but RAAAAAAAAA UPD MED ALIGNED PROGRAM. i feel it deep in my bones and i've seen some of your posts about creating a specific kind of paper for school? i completely forgot what it was BUT IT MADE ME THINK YOU'D BE IN A MED FIELD SO YEAH!!! the ate (gn) everyone sees around the hallways in their scrub suit and think, "wow, eto ang mga taga upd." lighter electrical engineering in upd as well. if not ee, then definitely mechanical engineering. very good at what he does despite what people first assumed of him. you two are very "cool ate and kuya" in campus, laging suki sa street foods after class, and whenever they hear the rev of an engine, they know they'll be seeing you wrapped in a red scarf.

(@wystiix) → my lovely venti kisser, i could be misremembering, but you give off the vibe of another engineering student. maybe civil engineering na laging naka-ngiti and panay tawa kapag score reveals na after exams. the type who would urge you to look at the brighter side of things when you flunk a quiz, and invite you to eat out to brighten you up. venti on the other hand gives me major creative writing vibes from the same school (he broke lets bffr he aint going anywhere LMAO). you who's always the subject of the poems and stories he submits to class, and he's not shy about it either. the kind of guy who'd ask everyone to proof read his work just to show off the new metaphor he came up with to describe your smile.

(@stellar-headquarters) → MY ATE STEL!! i already know your program after today but it honestly was pretty close to my guess! studying in speech or communications, you're the social butterfly that everyone can't get enough of. even if your chatter goes faster than what most would call normal, there's this air around that envelops like a warm hug during the rainy season. maybe that's why the news of you and ennoshita from physical sciences wasn't much of a surprise. two steady figures that find their comfort in one another. a kind of reliance only known to you both after a long, tiring day of studying.

(@agnellae) → my pretty sumi in upd's tourism. the smile that gently greets you every morning, messages sent at lunch to remind you to take breaks, and the person who you always walk home with during the evenings. despite how her program is about traveling, she feels like the most constant thing in the world. it's no wonder lyney from their theatre arts cannot stop talking about her. in the margins of the scripts, the skin on his forearms, and even on the stage—she is always there as a loving reminder.

GO USTE, GO USTE, GO USTE, GO, GO, GO, GO! let the tiger out of its cage.

(@milksnake-tea) → pharmaceutics in uste, my lovely little allergen ily. its kinda funny because out of all the four big univs, uste has deep roots in religion (all roads lead back to sunday type shit) BUT! the senior who you'd see walking the halls with a cup of half-finished coffee or energy drink, hair slightly a mess, carrying the same pair of headphones and laptop they've used since freshman year. stickers decorate said devices and she always seems to carry them around, so if you ever ask where you got them, she'd just give you one. has been in a long-term relationship with ludger from the education department, that humss x stem duo you always see stressing out together during midterms. they probably take turns using the whiteboards in the library and laugh at each other when their handwriting becomes illegible.

(@snobwhimsicality) → gives me major sociology vibes. the kind of student you'd find interviewing others of their interest, hobbies, etc., to bridge and connect. they always have an open ear to suggestions and is the first to support your ideas while simultaneously keeping your expectations and plans grounded. I UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT KNOW YOUR BLORBOS UEUEUEUEUE but. minato from the fine arts department has been a companion for a long time. he's quiet and would often contrast your more open, and extroverted approaches, but you both make it work. peak yapper x listener duo that can, and will, go both ways!

(@stellamancer) → who gives me major accountancy vibes. the kind of senior you'd spend the entire period for lunch, counting coins to see if you'd be able to attend that after-school carnival you've been planning for weeks now, but forgot when you come face to face with cute things in the mall. it's quite alright though! almost every time, sunday from the theology branch gives her a quick reminder that you're both supposed to be saving up for that concert you've been raving about from almost a year ago.

(@songlight) → my lovely mirei studying music theory. the kind of girl you'd see listening intently to each word her friends drop because the sound of their voice and worries are worthy of a standing ovation and her undivided attention. she's the person you'd run to if you want to branch out your music taste or want to share the new song you've found randomly earlier that morning. sharing wired earbuds with phainon on the way home after his classes in ateneo's humanities has been a love language since they met.

DLSU ANIMO LA SALLE! aim the arrows straight to tomorrow.

(@ryzheling) → in dlsu's human resources programs or even in behavioural sciences. observations skills are top notch! the kind of student that will remember if the professor said they'll give out extra credit if a certain criteria is met, has a to-do list of tasks but whether or not they actually get finished is a game of its own. an avid cafe enthusiast with a laptop covered in stickers or a black notebook with the signatures of close friends in bright, fun colors. a memorable little token to continuously look back on. often found loitering around ateneo's political science branch to wait for nagumo to be dismissed. both are a deadly combo! one remembers, and the other acts. judge and executioner in layman's terms. they appear intimidating to people on their own, but somehow the mask dissolves when the other is near.

(@iwasthewind) → as the cool psychology senior who isn't afraid to tell you what it really means to be on the job training. you don't see her much around campus during specific days, but when you ask her to ease the questions in your hearts, she has never failed. it's not absolute certainty that quells the doubts, but more so the feeling that even in troubled waters, you'll still somehow find a way to pull through. and you can see it first hand in the patience of her love for xiao who's studying music performances in uste.

(@riniaras) → my rina… im so sorry for putting you in a science based program… i'm actually not sure where i'd put you. would it be biochem? just chemistry? biology? or a secret fourth category i'm not aware of? regardless, you strike as the kind of person who tries her best to do assignments on the days they were given so the rest of your days are spent resting in bed. on times that aren't the case, you'd find her in the library with her textbooks open, notes and flashcards on the table, while her open sits with an open chat log with luuk from uste's nursing program.

(@ephemrial) → obv im gonna self-project real hard, but!! lysariel, or simply lysa as she's called in dlsu's psychology department. masungit at first, but she opens up rather quickly with the right topics. if you're lucky, she'd say yes to your invitation to a quick food trip to taft if cee or kai hasn't invited her already. a bit too sarcastic for her peers' taste, but its an essential part of her character. it's a bit funny though, how this spitfire for a future therapist slowly losing her blaze when she sees sunday from ateneo's famed law department is waiting for her by the gates, car keys in hand and flashing a her a small smile.

O! ATENEO! FIGHT! spread thy wings of justice.

(@lowkeyren) → my lawful romantic, of course i'm putting you in ateneo's law school /aff. still can't believe i gussed this correctly on my first attempt back on my writing main BUT! the humble girl everyone finds in the cafeteria or library having a phone call with friends. even if she needs to review, she has to take a pic of how much readings she has to do before actually starting. "ldr" with alhaitham who's studying in dlsu's literature program. dates include guessing how many pages the other has actually read for their school work, wondering how many hours of sleep the other has gotten, or simply meeting up at night when school is finally taking a break.

(@nyajiro) → sweet, miss cherie from health sciences that… never really studies in a convenient spot? she's almost always in a spot where the reception is strongest, sending one message after the other when she finally finishes her assignments. she's busy, and you'd never really get the chance to talk to her until school breaks are approaching. the best example is when lohen from uste's sports sciences is seen by ateneo's entrance, patiently waiting for her.

(@nervocat) → gives me major psychology vibes. he's what you'd imagine a psychology student to look and act like. quiet, introspective, but kind. the student who'd help you pick up the paper that fell from your hands when you accidentally bumped into each other in the hallways, the kind who'd hold the classroom door open for his other classmates, and who's willing to share his notes and takeaways from class if they need it. the kind of soft sunshine phainon of upd's history course protects.

(@aellemiri) → who's studying linguistics to share her story and that of others. the kind of student who would argue that the words in the english language were more than just that. it was a sign to convey emotion and affection that doesn't involve the physical sense. if you were to ask anaxa as he finishes up his lab work in dlsu's biochemistry, he'd help you translate her words to get the idea. unfortunately, never her full words as he believes that is reserved only for him.
