I just realized it's August 23rd 2022, which means it's the one year anniversary of the infamous night at Hacketts Quarry, where all our favourite counselors got, well.... traumatised. I am wondering, what would they do on that day? I could imagine them like specifically meeting up because this day brings up painful memories for all of them and the other counselors naturally understand them the best. It's a path of healing. Together.
A dumb thought but maybe some of them would return to Hacketts Quarry to fully process what happened ( in broad daylight of course) and get closure? Not sure if everyone would do it though. Maybe this is just me projecting but I'm the kind of person who has a hard time letting go and I'd return for one final time since I would want and need that closure ( also in broad daylight ). There's this movie called "Room" where the mother and her son return to said room, their place of torment and violence for the last time to say goodbye and also kind of enabling them to leave this chapter of their lives behind so they can focus on the future. Which doesn't mean that the Hacketteers would do it. Some of them would avoid certain places. Abi and Nick wouldn't set foot in the pool house. Maybe the same goes for Dylan and Ryan with the radio hut? For some reason I could imagine Emma revisiting the tree house if someone accompanied her. She'd take a few pictures and videos where she pretends talking to her followers since she's not allowed to post it, because you know - crime scene - and later Emma would break down in front of Abi, who would silently comfort her. Kaitlyns probably the first one who's sceptical but agrees to go there. And she's also responsible for bringing along a very reluctant Jacob. Also Kaitlyn makes sure they have more than enough oil and maybe a spare rotor arm. Just in case. Authorities would probably accompany them to the camp. Anyway, this is just an alternate scenario that I made up because I found the concept interesting.
What I imagine actually happens is them just meeting up at the house of one of the counselors, sitting in a dim lighted room with some cozy lights, a playlist made by Dylan playing in the background, drinking light booze and maybe ice tea ( I just feel this vibe ) and calmly talking about everything and nothing. Sometimes there would be a complete silence, not an awkward one, it's just them acknowledging each others presence and knowing they all feel the same way. They're content because they know they're not alone. Later they all fall asleep one after another.
Well, I just wanted to write 2 sentences and somehow this has turned into a TED talk. Feel free to add if you want.
So I was reading Gaia's Main Story from A Knight's Devotion and early in the story this cute cat starts following them and takes a liking to Gaia. Throughout the story it doesn't have a name until Gaia finally decides on one. I had to read twice until I knew it wasn't a joke.
I guess Voltage kinda predicted the future ???? Also I think that today they would give it another name. ( Apparently Corona has several other meanings. Connected to this story it's "crown" and fits to the princess trope. )
