Warnings: Sadness, but it's Romeo so nothing too heavy

Romeo sat by the forest edge, near to the lake. It was a good place, with a nice view. Around him where a pile of sticks, which he had collected from the forest. A pile of stones that he had gathered from the lakeside, some string and some paint in different colours borrowed from a classroom.

He counted the people on his fingers. The people he had known who had disapeared, to be fed to the tiger or otherwise. Thirteen, thirteen that he had met, and he knew there would be more. But thirteen was a start.

Grabbing some sticks and string he began, soon he had a very messy cross and he stuck it into the ground. Since the school had stolen his memory of reading he could not write the names of his friends, but he took a rock and some paint and began painting. He wasn't a good artist, he had learnt that while trying to capture the blue skies for Angeletta. But soon he had a rough picture of a book.

He placed it next to the cross, For Kuchinawa. He would remember. He picked up another two sticks and wondered what picture he would paint for Molly.

Theta hadn't been at the school long, but she was already aching for something to do with her hands. Still, she couldn't complain overall. She was out for a walk today--she had to go out of her way to take a walk every day, or else she'd lose what strength she did have in her leg. She spotted Romeo and walked over, curious about what he was up to. Still, it looked rather sombre and rather important, so she kept her tone quiet as she greeted him, getting close rather than shouting.

"Mr. Romeo, what are you building?" she asked when she came up to him, looking around at the materials he'd collected.
