Auraria
Episode 8: Seth's Journal #2
May 7th
Aurie isn’t dead. He’s breathing. That’s all that matters. We weren’t seen by many people. Mathias and staff helped us make an exit and rush him to the Palace.
Zénon was furious, Ada nearly fainted. At least I spared Luis the scolding by telling him to stay with Aurie. Zénon threatened to have our heads taken, the crazy bastard. Nevertheless, he eventually came to his senses. ‘You two took an oath, that if you should fail to protect my son you shall suffer the consequences,’ he so gracefully reminded me.
We were asked to stay in the Palace until Aurie awakens. I can’t help but feel like a hostage. Like they’ll kill us the minute Aurie stops breathing. And why wouldn’t they? Our lives are bound to his.
God damn it all. I failed to truly acknowledge the risks of taking on this job. Maybe I should’ve listened to Luis’s wariness for once.

Fractured clavicle & scapula
May 10th
It’s been three days and Aurie still hasn’t woken. His wound has healed remarkably but other than that, he won’t stir. Luis is… feeling odd, to say the least. One minute he’s panicking over everything, the next he’s calm. Too calm, actually. I gave up trying to understand his mind long ago. He’s also been sneaking into the music hall at night. I’m not sure if he has permission to do so, but if it’s helping him cope, then I’ll let him be.
