[ It's week six and he is so tired.
His jacket comes off and he's already using it as a pillow. ]
Does this sound like that kid to any of ya?
[ He pulls out a letter. ]
To my friends,
I think your little adventure this past Tuesday was interesting, but not quite what I meant in my last letter.
Rather, when everyone convened to talk and have refreshments that afternoon, it seemed like you were enjoying yourselves. But it was a bit dull, don't you think? So next time you hold such a soiree, I suggest doing something else more exciting right alongside it.
Because I for one find danger much more entertaining than idle conversation. It's unlikely that everyone can participate in both, but at the very least, if brutes like me are distracted, the rest of you can enjoy a peaceful discussion without our unwanted company.
Sincerely,
Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd

[Estelle's sitting on the ballroom floor, her knees pulled up to her chest and her eyes gazing upward through the ceiling windows, at the stars beyond. In her hand is a little branch with a flower. She looks lost in thought...
If someone comes near, however, she'll blink a few times, her attention coming back down to earth. She'll offer them a faint smile.]

[Estelle looks up from where she's sitting and comes over to see.]
Hmm... That sounds kind of similar to a letter I got.
[She fishes around in her pocket and produces...!]
Both of them are suggesting we do things that are more dangerous and "entertaining"...
... Maybe they want us to get the host's attention for a while?

I hope you're doing well! I think it's really great how you guys are working together over there. Keep it up!
Of course, I bet there are people who don't really want to participate when you all learn more about each other. It takes all kinds, right? I was thinking, maybe it would be a fun idea if those people could take part in another activity instead. Of course, it's tough to have to pick between doing something exciting like going into the doors on your side or just chatting as a group, but I think there are a few people who would be more entertained by the former than the latter regardless of what you're talking about.
Just something to keep in mind!

[She smiles and nods!]
They sent a big arrangement this time! This one's a poplar flower... it means "endure and conquer." Or it could also mean "courage" or "time."

When did ya get this one?
The Dimitri letter I got on Wednesday.
I also got one on Tuesday.
And this one today.

Do you know what I miss the most about the other side? The joy of everyone's company. Seeing you all gathered together warms my heart.
But I would propose that you could make these parties more enjoyable by adding an activity of sorts. On this side, we intend to do something quite exciting and thrilling -- if I may offer a suggestion, the doors are exhilarating, aren't they?
There is the possibility that having an activity is distracting, as someone might be drawn to the more entertaining activity and ignore the rest, but I believe it will be gratifying all the same.
To your health,
Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
And this one today.
Dear Bradley,
I'm afraid those are my real thoughts. But you might find it helpful to discuss with some of the others. Maybe they will see my suggestions from another perspective.
Sincerely,
Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
[She was looking a little forlorn moments ago, but her eyes light up at that question.]
Forget-me-nots, agrimony, ginger, and forsythia!
The first one's self-explanatory, I think... Agrimony means "gratitude." Ginger, "strength, safety, warmth, comfort"... pleasant things like that. And forsythia means "anticipation," or sometimes "good fortune!"

Something like... "hang in there, it's going to get better soon"?
