Where the Heart Is

Marino's head remains bowed at the Courier's feet.

MARINO: How could they hate us when everything we've done has been for their sake?

She turns her head upward.

MARINO: What of the new world we fought so hard–

She pauses as she realizes what is directly in front of her. A creature has materialized from the black ooze that was released from the stars. Similar to the Courier, it has a star for a head that emits a slight glow. It's holding a large axe and wearing a cape with fluffy edges.

MARINO: –for?

The Courier says nothing for a moment, then glares down at Marino.

THE COURIER: CHEERS, MARINO.

One of Marino's eyes is finally visible behind the mask. It looks terrified.

MARINO: WAIT–

The creature created from the blob–an Executioner–slashes Marino across the chest hard. Lani, Ísja, and Num watch in horror as Marino falls to the ground limply.

i spent way too long trying to figure out what the best possible thing the courier could say here would be. they're based on different methods of communication, so i figured some sort of phrase one would use to end a letter or email would work well! some alternatives that made me laugh were "in sympathy", "XOXO", "later gator", and "hope this helps".
