So they're not just urging us to do dangerous things, but anything adequately distracting...

[She thinks on that for a few moments, but can't ignore how miserable Rin looks. So while she's near enough to see that letter, she places a hand on his back, if he'll let her.]

[aono]

Sounds like it, yeah. We gotta be really dramatic I guess.

[Acting's not really Rin's strong suit though. He wears his heart on his sleeve, it's obvious when he tries to lie.

He doesn't pull away from her, though. Come sit with him Estelle.]

[mustbepurged]

We'll figure something out. I'm sure of it.

[She'll sit with him!

... and after a few moments, she'll hand him the flower she's holding.]

Here. You can have this.

[aono]

[he blinks a couple of times as he looks at Estelle, and then to the flower in his hands.]

What's this for?

[mustbepurged]

It's a poplar flower. In flower language, it means "endure and conquer."

Think of it like a good luck charm for getting through difficult times.

[aono]

[Endure and conquer. Boy, if that hasn't been Rin's life for the last year and a half.]

You know, it'd be nice to not have to endure for once. One of these days I want a REAL vacation, without murder or world-ending disasters.

...but thank you.
