Autumn's Whispered Secrets

Summary: Fall has finally made its appearance in Velaris. Once a year the Night Court hosts a large event once a year called the "Autumn Elegance Gala." This year, however, it seemed as though the event held a deeper meaning for you and a certain Shadowsinger.

Warnings: None

Wordcount: 2.2k

Velaris was already beautiful, but when autumn arrived, the city transformed into a new spectacle. Stores adorned their windows with artificial orange leaves, pumpkins adorned almost every doorstep, and the air was infused with the scents of spice and pumpkin pie. The festive atmosphere was truly remarkable.

Today marked a special occasion, much like Starfall. It was a day when many gathered to celebrate the arrival of fall. Children roamed the streets, dressed as ghosts and ghouls, their laughter reverberating off the city's buildings.

Small arms encircled your leg as a young boy looked up at you, his eyes sparkling. "Auntie Y/N, are you going to join us for the festival today? Mother mentioned she had spoken to you!" You picked up Nyx and playfully tapped his nose with a wide smile as you listened to his enthusiastic chatter about the various events scheduled for the day. He was the spitting image of Rhysand and had the vibrant personality of your longtime friend, Feyre.

"Well, little Nyx, I suppose I can join you all today since you asked so nicely," you replied, grinning and gently tickling the boy's side. Your smile widened as his laughter filled the air, and Nyx never failed to brighten your day, particularly when you had been burdened with the paperwork assigned to you by his father. This little boy had a knack for spreading joy, even on the toughest days.

"Uncle Az will be thrilled to hear that you're coming. He kept saying he wouldn't go unless you did," Nyx shared, his grin lighting up his face. Nyx had no filter, and there was no keeping secrets around him.

Laughing softly, you set the small boy down and affectionately ruffled his hair. "Well, I'm sure Uncle Azriel would have gone even if I couldn't make it," you teased, your heart fluttering at Nyx's words. Placing a hand over your chest, you made your way to your room to start getting ready for the day's events.

-----

Your eyes couldn't help but wander as you and the Inner Circle strolled through the streets of Velaris. Nyx, running ahead, urged everyone to walk faster. You snapped out of your reverie when Mor fell into step beside you, slinging an arm over your shoulders.

"You've got someone who won't stop staring. I'm pretty sure he's going to burn holes into the back of your head at this rate," she said with a snicker. Glancing over your shoulder, you turned to see who she was referring to, and sure enough, Azriel had his gaze locked on you. When your eyes met, you quickly turned your attention forward, feeling a blush creep onto your face.

"I swear both of you know you're mates, so why don't you just make a move already," Mor grumbled, looking down at you.

You sucked in a deep breath and clicked your tongue. "Because, Mor, he's interested in Elain, and that's not a fire I'm willing to play with," you replied, shrugging off Mor's arm. It was true. You had been aware of the bond for the past few months but had never made an effort to bring it up. Azriel seemed smitten with Elain, and it was clear from the way he looked at her that he was falling for her. You didn't want to interfere or force his hand just because of the bond. If Azriel had any intentions with you, you'd leave it up to him to make the first move.

The moment you all stepped into the town square, you let out a loud gasp. It was utterly beautiful. Small wooden booths were set up around the square, with merchants selling their goods to families and couples. The square was brightly lit and vibrant, filled with people laughing and chatting with one another. It never failed to take your breath away. Everyone here seemed genuinely happy to be around each other, and you loved that atmosphere. Looking around, you noticed that your family had dispersed to explore the booths or entertain the small child who ruled your group.

Someone fell in step next to you, and you jumped. "Looks like it's just us," Azriel said, his voice low as he nervously glanced around. Something inside you fluttered at the sound of his voice, which had a deep, sultry quality. Every time you heard him speak, your stomach did somersaults. As he stood beside you, you noticed how tense he was, his eyes darting around the square.

"Are you scared of crowds, Azriel?" you asked, laughter escaping your lips. It would be something new to witness, the Shadow Singer scared of crowds. You couldn't miss the blush that tinged his tan skin as he looked away from you. He was embarrassed, and that only made you laugh harder.

"I'm not scared, just surveilling the area to make sure nothing could hurt Nyx," he replied, clearing his throat. His shoulders tensed as a couple walked by, getting a bit too close for his comfort. Slipping your hand into his, you chose to ignore the look of shock he sent your way as you guided him through the square, pointing out various charms and clothing items for sale. Spending time with Azriel made the bond between you hum with happiness, but you kept trying to suppress it.

As you weaved in and out of the different booths, you suddenly came to a halt, causing the taller male to bump into your smaller frame. There, an array of hair clips lay, each one catching your eye. With how often Mor dressed you to the nines, you wanted a hairpiece to complement your attire. As your eyes scanned the table, they landed on a white floral hair clip. The gold accents perfectly complemented the white flowers, making it a truly beautiful piece. Seeing that your gaze lingered, Azriel reached down and picked up the hair clip. He turned you to face him, gently brushing your hair away from your face and neck. His rough fingers brushed against your skin, setting your senses on fire. As he placed the clip into your hair, he held your gaze, and the space between you two slowly decreased.

"You look beautiful," he whispered, brushing his nose against yours. Just as you began to lean up, Mor's voice rang out from a few feet away. You jumped away from Azriel, smiling, and handed him the clip just as Mor approached.

"Sorry to interrupt your date, but your dress is ready for tonight, Y/N, and little Nyx is starting to fall asleep. Feyre wants us to head back and start getting ready," Mor announced as she pulled you along. Glancing back at Azriel, you gave him a small wave, not missing the look of longing in his hazel eyes.

-----

Music filled the building, accompanied by lively chatter. Bodies swayed in the middle of the room, and conversations buzzed on the sides. Mor clung to your arm as you descended the stairs, your dress flowing behind you. She had truly outdone herself with the dress, knowing it was both beautiful and alluring enough to turn heads. The gown had a golden hue with a long slit running up your right leg, teasing every time you walked. The design on the right shoulder resembled leaves, cascading from your hip over your shoulder. It was an absolutely stunning dress, and Mor's effort made you feel grateful to have her as a friend.

As you stepped onto the floor, you spotted the Inner Circle standing just off to the side, sharing laughter over something Cassian had said. Nesta playfully smacked his arm. But your eyes were drawn to Azriel, his hair slicked back, exposing part of his forehead. The suit he wore accentuated his figure in the best possible way. Your cheeks grew warm at the sight of him, and the bond pulled you closer to your mate, urging for contact.

Stopping next to Feyre, gasps escaped the group as they looked at you. "Damn, Y/N, you clean up well. That dress knows how to showcase your curves," Cassian said, earning a scowl and another smack from Nesta.

"You look lovely this evening. Please excuse Cassian; we all know he lacks a filter," Nesta said, sending a scowl toward Cassian. You laughed and thanked her before mingling with your group. You felt a tug on the bond and turned your attention to Azriel. He signaled you to follow him, and you excused yourself to join him on the balcony.

Once outside, Azriel presented a small box. "I wanted to give this to you. It seemed like you loved it, and it suited you well," he said, passing you the box. When you opened it, you gasped at the sight of the hair clip he had put in your hair earlier that day. "Here, let me," he said gently, taking the clip and turning you around. He slid it into your hair and smiled, his hands gently caressing your shoulders. "Perfect," he whispered into your ear.

Turning back toward the Shadow Singer, you gave him a small smile. "Thank you, I'll be sure to wear it well," you teased, scanning him once again. Part of you wondered what things would be like if you had confessed to Azriel the moment you felt the bond snap into place. Would you be together and happy? Would you constantly worry about his closeness to Elain? You contemplated talking to him and seeing where things might lead. You glanced back at Azriel, who looked at you with longing in his eyes, yearning for a kiss. Grabbing his hand, you pulled him onto the dance floor, dancing together as one. "I'm sure you know about the bond between us, but why haven't you said anything?" you asked, looking up at Azriel.

He hummed, taking a moment to find the right words. "I didn't want to force you. You've been dealing with things since the last mission Rhys sent you on, and I didn't want to push the mating bond onto you. It wouldn't have been fair to you, especially if you weren't ready," he explained, his hand resting on the small of your back. "Why haven't you said anything about the mating bond?" he inquired.

You mumbled, "Well, you were close with Elain, and I didn't want to intrude on your relationship with her." Your eyes landed on Elain, who watched you both from across the room, jealousy apparent.

Ever since Elain joined the Inner Circle, tension had built between you and Azriel. She turned it into a competition, trying to prove who knew him better or who could hold his attention longer, so you had pulled away. "I didn't want to force the bond onto you either, especially if you chose Elain in the end," you admitted.

Azriel chuckled, drawing you closer. "Elain is a sweet girl, but she's not someone I'm interested in. I'm only there to help make her stay here more manageable," he said, cupping your cheek. "Cassian has been pestering me for a month to open up to you and discuss the mating bond. Every time I tried, I was sent on a mission or you were whisked away by Mor or Rhysand," he grumbled. "I'm tired of fighting this bond, and I want to embrace it. I want to fall asleep next to you and wake up in your arms. I want to listen to you complain about the reports Rhysand keeps giving you. I want to hold you when you wake from a nightmare and be the one you go to when you're having a bad day. I want to be the one who tells you that I love you every minute of every day."

Azriel's words took you by surprise. You had never imagined he wanted all of that. You always felt like you came second when it came to Elain. Hearing his words made your heart swell. "I want that too, Az. I want to feel your touch and kiss you during my lowest moments. I want to share my secrets and frustrations. I want to come to you when I'm having a bad day and just lie in your arms. I want to be there to welcome you home after a mission and tell you how much I missed you," you whispered, leaning into his hand on your cheek. "I want to be yours because I'm deeply and utterly in love with you."

Azriel smiled and leaned down to kiss you. The bond hummed with happiness at the touch of your lips, making you feel complete after months of emptiness. The kiss felt like it lasted an eternity, yet it was over all too soon. Brushing his nose against yours, Azriel smiled. "I love you too, more than you'll ever know," he whispered, giving you another gentle kiss.

"Bet you fifty bucks he gets laid tonight," Cassian whispered to Nesta. They were standing a few feet away, with the rest of the Inner Circle, watching you both.

"Cassian, if you don't shut your mouth, you're going to be the one who doesn't get laid," Nesta retorted, causing the others to laugh and Rhysand to pat the disheartened Cassian on the back.

Looking over at the scene, you and Azriel laughed at the sight before turning back to each other. "Should we head home? I make a mean pumpkin pie, and given how you devoured that one over there, I'm sure you're craving more," you teased. Azriel let out a hearty laugh and leaned down to kiss you once again.

For years, the strange object embedded in a rocklike formation sparked speculation and wonder. Was it proof of a visit by aliens?

"If we were created by the Anunnaki, who created the Anunnaki?" The Anunnaki are enormous, humanoids reptiles in specie. And they came to Earth in search of gold? to help them in their atmosphere problem. So far away from the Sun they was in need of heat and light, and seems that gold in micro particles dispersed all over their atmosphere will reflect more heat and more light to their environment.

NASA scientists have recently confirmed that the Tonga volcanic eruption in January last year boosted water content in the stratosphere by a massive, and weather-changing, 10%.

In Tonga’s case, specific geological conditions threw vast amounts of super-heated water up to 50 kilometres into the air. Such is the “unprecedented” amounts of water involved, the NASA scientists believe it could remain in the atmosphere for serval years.

Water vapour is the most powerful of all the greenhouses gases since, unlike the others, it traps heat across a wide part of the infra-red spectrum.

The latest work from NASA analysed satellite data showing the volume of water injected into the atmosphere between 12 and 53 kms. “We’ve never seen anything like it,” commented lead author Luis Millan. Volcanoes rarely inject much water into the stratosphere. In the 18 years since NASA has been taking measurements, only two others produced appreciable amounts, but these were said to be “mere blips” compared with Tonga.

Silvio Ricci. Dramatic Route. Chapter 22.

The King of Benitoite decides to use the girl as a pretext to break the alliance, creating a wild story. Rhodolites/Rhodolians(?) thinks to detain her and hand her over to the other side. MC had no plans to surrender, but she was kidnapped by the tyrant.

Silvio forcibly puts her on a horse.

Now they walk through the woods.

MC: We can still turn back! Please don't protect me!

Silvio: Huh? Don't be silly, I'm not trying to protect you. I just don't like the old geezer's behavior.

MC: Please think of another way!

Silvio: Hey, I thought I told you not to order me around.

Silvio reminds the girl that going against the king's will is like going against all Benitoites/Benitoitians(?).

Silvio: And that old bastard hates the hell out of me.

He might be banished or even executed.

MC suggests that in that case we go back to the castle.

Silvio: How many times do we have to go through this?

The prince ruffled her hair.

There is no way for them to get back to the castle. They are hiding in one of Silvio's hiding places.

The prince has already had fights with his father. So let the girl worry about herself. And he's not willingly helping her.

MC: But if it's not good intentions, then what...?

Silvio just doesn't want Valerio to get the heroine.

Silvio: I'll take you and tame you for the rest of your life.

Though the prince is a good man, MC understands that he sees her as an object.

_________________________________________

Morning.

Office of the Foreign Policy Faction.

Nokto: It seems Silvio has kidnapped MC. Therefore, we will not be able to give her to the King of Benitoite.

Clavis is already ready to run into town and spread rumors about the two lovers' escape.

Luke: You, read the atmosphere...

Rio is standing next to him.

Luke: Rio, don't be sad.

Nokto and Clavis don't seem to feel threatened and are glad the girl escaped.

Rio: It's only a loss for Silvio...

Nokto: Well, as the richest man on the continent, Silvio can profit from anything.

Clavis agrees, for it would be very difficult for them, Rhodolians, to help the girl.

Clavis wonders why exactly now someone has come up with the story that the heroine is an Obsidian spy.

Nokto asks Rio about this, but he is not aware of it. But Gilbert probably planned the whole thing. Clavis wonders why Gilbert would do this. Rio makes the assumption that perhaps no one wanted to touch the MC, but someone [the princes think it was Gilbert] wanted to make Silvio leave. Rio's brother was against trading with Obsidian. He was a nuisance, Gilbert just gave him a chance to eliminate Silvio.

Chevalier: ......

Clavis doesn't understand his brother's reaction.

Chevalier: No? Apparently, this case has gone from a foreign policy issue to a domestic one.

Clavis continues to deal with the alliance with Jade. Nocto and Luke have to distract the King of Benitoite for now, to buy time.

In any case, in Chevalier's words, "the balance between the four countries is about to collapse." And there is a need to capitalize.

Rio gave a speech about wanting to be the one who protects everything MC holds dear, he will create/find a future where MC is happy.

He leaves. Clavis, Luke and Nokto feel sorry for him, because the guy is unrequitedly in love.

Chevalier: Bullshit.

_________________________________________

A mansion somewhere in the mountains of Rhodolith.

This is not how the heroine imagined the refuge. She thought it was a hut. Not a mansion.

Sitting next to Silvio, she takes a meal.

Silvio: "Please enjoy your meal, master," right?

MC: I'm not going to play games with you.

Silvio: Are you still in a bad mood?

Not anymore, she realizes that he helped her. And now the girl is worried about the prince.

She wants to change his mind, but first she has to eat. You can't fight on an empty stomach.

The prince asks MC not to make such a sad face. She decides to parody Silvio.

Silvio: Why did you make that damn angry face?

MC: Doesn't it look like that?

Silvio laughs. The atmosphere has changed.

MC is thinking that instead of going back to the Court, we should solve the problem drastically.

Carlo, the prince's assistant and squire, bursts into the room.

Silvio: Didn't I tell you not to follow me.

Carlo wants to participate and be there for him. Silvio sends him away. But MC notices that they act more like friends with each other than like master and subordinate.

Carlo may be stripped of his status as a royal scholar, but he does not care. He wants to be useful to the prince.

From now on, he will accompany Silvio. As the prince takes his servant by the ear, Carlo tries to introduce himself to MC.

Carlo: I mostly do all sorts of research related to navigation. I consider myself a navigator...

*Rumbles his stomach*.

It's Carlo. MC offers him something to eat.

Silvio gives up. He confesses that he doesn't know what will happen next.

Carlo says excitedly: This is what an unexplored journey is all about.

Carlo is glad that Valerio has been found.

Carlo: Prince Silvio has been feverishly searching for Prince Valerio for three years...

Carlo: Didn't you cry when you found out he was alive? Were you all right?

MC was surprised. Because the prince's reaction to Rio said otherwise.

Carlo wants to say something, but Silvio does not let him, seizing the poor squire's head. He apologizes for the misunderstanding.

Silvio was looking for his brother because of his father. He thought Silvio had something to do with it.

He tells Carlo not to talk too much or he will drown at sea.

MC stands up for Carlo.

Silvio reminds her that her future depends on him.

The girl reminds the prince that he is stuck and stomping around.

Silvio: You're sassy.

But as long as his father is around, there's nothing he can do. Though there is one way he can keep the alliance going, get profit and tame MC.

About the latter is a question. But if there is a way, we should try it.

MC: I'll do what I can.

Silvio: Well said.

Silvio: Then I will take/usurp the throne.

Thus, he will get the throne he has been dreaming of, drop the old man and get the woman.

Silvio's Masterlist

BepiColombo spies escaping oxygen and carbon in unexplored region of Venus’s magnetosphere

A fleeting visit of the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission to Venus has revealed surprising insights into how gases are stripped away from the upper layers of the planet’s atmosphere.

Detections in a previously unexplored region of Venus’s magnetic environment show that carbon and oxygen are being accelerated to speeds where they can escape the planet’s gravitational pull. The results have been published today in the journal Nature Astronomy.

Lina Hadid, CNRS researcher at the Plasma Physics Laboratory (LPP) and lead author of the study said: “This is the first time that positively charged carbon ions have been observed escaping from Venus’s atmosphere. These are heavy ions that are usually slow moving, so we are still trying to understand the mechanisms that are at play. It may be that an electrostatic ‘wind’ is lifting them away from the planet, or they could be accelerated through centrifugal processes.”

Unlike Earth, Venus does not generate an intrinsic magnetic field in its core. Nonetheless, a weak, comet-shaped ‘induced magnetosphere’ is created around the planet by the interaction of charged particles emitted by Sun (the solar wind) with electrically charged particles in Venus’s upper atmosphere. Draped around the magnetosphere is a region called the ‘magnetosheath’ where the solar wind is slowed and heated.

On 10 August 2021, BepiColombo passed by Venus to slow down and adjust course towards its final destination of Mercury. The spacecraft swooped up the long tail of Venus’s magnetosheath and emerged through the nose of the magnetic regions closest to the Sun. Over a 90-minute period of observations, BepiColombo’s instruments measured the number and mass of charged particles it encountered, capturing information about the chemical and physical processes driving atmospheric escape in the flank of the magnetosheath.

Early in its history, Venus had many similarities to Earth, including significant amounts of liquid water. Interactions with the solar wind have stripped away the water, leaving an atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide and smaller amounts of nitrogen and other trace species. Previous missions, including NASA’s Pioneer Venus Orbiter and ESA’s Venus Express have made detailed studies of the type and quantity of molecules and charged particles that are lost into space. However, the missions’ orbital paths left some areas around Venus unexplored and many questions still unanswered.

Data for the study were obtained by BepiColombo’s Mass Spectrum Analyzer (MSA) and the Mercury Ion Analyzer (MIA) during the spacecraft’s second Venus flyby. The two sensors are part of the Mercury Plasma Particle Experiment (MPPE) instrument package, which is carried by Mio, the JAXA-led Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter.

“Characterising the loss of heavy ions and understanding the escape mechanisms at Venus is crucial to understand how the planet’s atmosphere has evolved and how it has lost all its water,” said Dominique Delcourt, researcher at LPP and the Principal Investigator of the MSA instrument.

Europlanet’s SPIDER space weather modelling tools enabled the researchers to track how the particles propagated through the Venusian magnetosheath.

“This result shows the unique results that can come out of measurements made during planetary flybys, where the spacecraft may move through regions generally unreachable by orbiting spacecraft,” said Nicolas André, of the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie (IRAP) and lead of the SPIDER service.

A fleet of spacecraft will investigate Venus over the next decade, including ESA’s Envision mission, NASA’s VERITAS orbiter and DAVINCI probe, and India’s Shukrayaan orbiter. Collectively, these spacecraft will provide a comprehensive picture of the Venusian environment, from the magnetosheath, down through the atmosphere to the surface and interior.

“Recent results suggest that the atmospheric escape from Venus cannot fully explain the loss of its historical water content. This study is an important step to uncover the truth about the historical evolution of the Venusian atmosphere, and upcoming missions will help fill in many gaps,” added co-author, Moa Persson of the Swedish Institute of Space Physics.

My 3 a.m. Low Quality Analysis on the Alternate Ending In Sara's Mini Episode (Spoilers)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the title says, this'll be a sorta? analysis on the alternate end that is in Sara's mini episode (under the cut). This'll contain spoilers for the mini episode itself, along with the alternate ending since it will be the main focus of the essay (also spoilers for the main story, of course).

Quick warning before I start though! As (again) the title says, this is incredibly low quality since I wrote this at 3 a.m. and I'm also really bad at this sort of thing (like, is this even an essay?). Some of the stuff that I wrote may be entirely incorrect, and it's also pretty informal a lot of the time with a bunch of parentheses as I typed. It's kinda edited? but the edits were by that same 3 a.m. brain so. yea. Also the analysis ended up having no end goal so it's all over the place (and it's really long. like, 12 paragraphs long) ^^;

Anyway! Without further ado, I hope you all enjoy whatever garbage I came up with! And if there's any mistakes in what I wrote and you want to point them out, and/or if you'd like to share your own opinion, please do so!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The alternate ending in Sara's mini episode is unlocked via selecting all of the red text options throughout the episode, leading to a variation of the main ending in which Sara almost confesses her feelings to Joe before having a small breakdown and then going back to deciding to introduce him to Ryoko. Along with this, it also shows a window into what could have been, displaying a scenario in which Joe got enough votes to survive with Sara and leave everyone to die, Sara's breakdown happening immediately after the player is shown that scene.

The scene could be interpreted in many ways (these are mainly just some theories that came up in my head while I was thinking). For example, it can be viewed as the possibility of the Death Game being some sort of simulation, with Sara having memories of it and it still deeply hurting her. Another example could be that it's Sara reliving (reminiscing) the memory of the day while in the Death Game, after Joe's death, and thinking of things that could have gone differently, which I will elaborate on much (much) later on. Yet another theory could be that the hangout event itself could be a simulation, and Sara's knowledgeable of this and is pretending that it's all real, a theory that matches with a possible theory regarding Your Time To Shine, the island survival spin-off. There's also many other interpretations, however I'm not all that acquainted with them. (Aka they just haven't crossed my mind yet since I'm not that good at coming up with this sort of stuff. If you guys see it any other way, let me know! I'd love to hear your thoughts!)

Despite the possibilities, the ending does show that Sara might have had romantic feelings for Joe (or not, elaborated on along with the reminiscing theory), but decided to not act on them in exchange for being able to continue to treasure his friendship. In the main story, Sara's strong feelings towards Joe are laid out, though whether those feelings are platonic or romantic aren't elaborated on as they mainly just show how important Joe was is to her. However, in the mini episode, the alternate ending hints at Sara's feelings possibly having been romantic at some point, or having been romantic the entire time. However, this could simply be speculation as nothing is directly confirmed, and the red text hints at something different (elaborated on later along with the other two things).

Another detail of the alternate ending is its shift in atmosphere, which is similar to some of the atmosphere shifts in the main story (or maybe just to me since for some it could be different). It goes from being completely cheerful to being solemn and melancholic. Sara's words and personality shift also match more with her personality later on in the main story (going from the emotion/Kanna route since I still haven't seen the logic/Sou one). She also voices her genuine fears, fears that strongly match her current fears in the main story. And Joe, as the kind and understanding boy he is (totally not biased), says that he would still stick with her through everything (and he did).

One of the things that stands out the most overall is the scene showing the what-if containing Joe winning the votes needed to escape with Sara. Placing this scene to take place before the main story completely rules out the possibility of it being canon, since supposedly Sara would have had no knowledge on the Death Game's events and would not be thinking of the scenario. However, with one of the theories mentioned earlier, they do help sort the scene into the timeline somewhat. They would explain why Sara thought of the past possibility of escaping with Joe, while also having multiple other implications depending on the theory.

So. What does this all mean? I'm…honestly not that sure. However, regarding the main story and placing this scene before the Death Game, certain parts in the alternate ending could be canon. Since the what-if scene has Death Game information, that immediately rules it out of the list of being potentially canon in this scenario. Sara having potential feelings for Joe and possibly almost confessing to him could be entirely possible, and isn't debunked by any main story information. Lastly, her confiding in him with personal fears is also a strong possibility, for the same reason as the aforementioned scenario.

However, there is one main reason that I have labeled the alternate ending as semi-canon, and was the cause of me writing this before thinking. And it isn't because of the romance, and it isn't about Sara sharing her fears. It's because of a specific thing that Sara tells Joe after confiding in him: "You're…my precious best friend…"

She does not call Joe her best friend in the regular route of her mini episode, and Joe even complains about the fact that Ryoko is on a higher level than him ("Your best friend…Above even me…Ngh…"). Yes, I know that after the scene Sara calls them both her precious best friends, but when Joe complained, Sara never stated that he was also her best friend, instead saying "Ahaha…Why so vexed, Joe?", as if agreeing that he isn't her best friend (or wasn't at the time, perhaps). This is most likely me just nitpicking the dialogue, but it bothered me and I wanted to mention it because it's been rotating in my mind.

However, this is all ignoring a major issue in the situation. Mainly that we've been conditioned to believe that red text = bad, which for the most part is correct, and it's also the case here as well. "But Ink," you might be thinking, "I thought this was going in the direction of the red-text options being an alright thing here!" (even if you aren't thinking it, bear with me please, it helps with the next part of my essay here.) And you'd be semi-right! But also semi-wrong, as many of the options visibly appear forceful and not right for any scenario that they appear in. Specifically, the "Hug" and "Kiss" choices (And the final third option when combined with the other two make it also appear to be forced). They seem out of place and extreme for their situation, and I've seen some people (mainly in KGOKev's comment section since I haven't seen anything else about others' opinion on the alternate ending) mention many different things regarding it. This then brings up the possibility of this being Sara thinking back on this time with Joe and imagining what could have gone differently, with her using Joe's emotions against him and her mind immediately backing out of the plan because she genuinely cares about Joe and would feel horrible feeling like she's using him (because in a scenario where she would romantically get together with him to survive, it would indeed be using him).

So, where does this leave us? Once again, I have no clue. The goal of this was originally to show how this alternate ending was semi-canon, and I feel as if I've done the opposite of that. But, it would technically be canon if it's in the case of Sara thinking about it after Joe's death in the Death Game, so I got something with that, at least! Along with it patching up the what-if scene into the timeline, it also makes the most sense considering all of the canon components at our disposal.

As for the romantic side, did Sara really romantically like Joe? Did she not? With the post-Joe death scenario, it can go in multiple ways. It can go in the way that her feelings were completely platonic, and she felt that if she had pretended to like him romantically, things would have gone wrong and she would've felt horrible about using him and playing with his feelings like that. Another possibility could be that she did genuinely like him romantically, but felt that she would have much rathered just stayed as his best friend instead of becoming something more, and though losing Joe hurt immensely, the thought of losing everyone else horrified her immensely, along with the knowledge that she knows now having that possibility leave a sour taste in her mouth as it would either way feel like she would've been using him.

In conclusion, using what we currently know (or believe) to be canon, the most possible reasoning for this alternate ending revolves around Sara reminiscing about the day post-Joe death. This post-Joe death scene would have been her thinking of alternate possibilities of what she could have done differently, then deciding to go back on those thoughts as these forceful choices would have been like as if she'd be using him. If it were to be before the Death Game, there would be multiple inconsistencies, such as Sara's sudden actions and the what-if scenario that leads to Sara's breakdown, but certain parts could hint to things that could possibly be canon, such as Sara (possibly) secretly having feelings for Joe and Sara confiding in Joe about her fears. So, which is true? The only way to find out is to wait for the end of the game, I suppose. And when the truth comes, we'll all be there, patiently waiting and ready to cry.

Poison ivy is poised to be one of the big winners in this global, human-caused phenomenon. Scientists expect the dreaded three-leafed vine will take full advantage of warmer temperatures and rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to grow faster and bigger — and become even more toxic.

Experts who have studied this plant for decades warn there are likely to be implications for human health. They say hikers, gardeners, landscapers and others may want to take extra precautions — and get better at identifying this plant — to avoid an itchy, blistering rash. (Learn how to identify it and test your knowledge with this quiz.)

What are the Layers of Atmosphere?

The atmosphere is a vital component of our planet, encompassing a complex arrangement of different layers. These layers of the atmosphere play a crucial role in the Earth’s climate, weather patterns, and the overall sustenance of life. Imagine if the Earth had no atmosphere – no protective shield to keep us safe. We’d be exposed to harmful radiation from the Sun, and there would be no air to breathe.

In this article, we will explore the structure of the atmosphere and delve into the details of each layer, discussing their locations, temperatures, significance, and various uses.

Structure of Atmosphere

Before we dive into the layers, let’s first understand the general structure of the atmosphere. The Earth’s atmosphere consists of a mixture of gases, with the two most abundant ones being nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (around 21%). The remaining 1% includes gases like argon, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other elements.

The atmosphere is divided into different layers, each with specific properties. These layers vary in terms of temperature, composition, and other characteristics. Think of the atmosphere as a multi-layered cake, with each layer serving its unique purpose.

The Earth’s atmosphere can be divided into five main layers:

Troposphere

Stratosphere

Mesosphere

Thermosphere

Exosphere

These layers differ in their composition, temperature, and altitude. Now let’s explore the layers of atmosphere along with the diagram.

Layers of Atmosphere

The layers of the atmosphere are given below,

Troposphere

The troposphere is the layer closest to the Earth’s surface, extending approximately 8 to 15 kilometers above the planet’s surface. In the troposphere, the temperature decreases with altitude as well weather phenomena such as clouds, storms, and rains occur here in this layer. It is colder at higher altitudes due to decreasing air pressure, averaging a decrease of 6.5 degrees Celsius per kilometer. The troposphere is of utmost importance as it is the layer we inhabit and where all life on Earth exists. It provides us with the air we breathe and shields us from harmful radiation.

Stratosphere

The stratosphere is located just above the troposphere and reaches up to approximately 50 kilometers (about 31.07 mi) above the Earth’s surface. Similar to the troposphere, the temperature in the stratosphere also increases with altitude. This phenomenon is attributed to the presence of the ozone layer, which absorbs most of the incoming ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun. The ozone layer acts as a protective shield, safeguarding life on Earth from the harmful effects of excessive UV radiation. Additionally, the stratosphere is a critical layer for air travel, as commercial airplanes fly within this region.

Mesosphere

Above the stratosphere lies the mesosphere, extending up to about 85 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. The mesosphere is characterized by extremely low temperatures, dropping to as low as -90 degrees Celsius. It is in this layer that meteors burn up upon entry, creating mesmerizing shooting stars. Furthermore, the mesosphere plays a crucial role in protecting the Earth from the impact of space debris. It also aids in transmitting radio waves for long-distance communication.

Thermosphere

The thermosphere is situated beyond the mesosphere and reaches an altitude of about 600 kilometers. In this layer, the temperature rises significantly due to the absorption of high-energy solar radiation. Although the thermosphere has extremely high temperatures, it is not noticeably hot due to the low density of molecules. This layer is essential for the operation of satellites and spacecraft, as it facilitates the transmission of radio signals and houses the International Space Station.

Exosphere

The exosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere to the edge of space. The exosphere is characterized by extremely low atmospheric pressure and a gradual transition into the vacuum of space. This layer contains a sparse distribution of gas molecules, primarily hydrogen and helium. It is here that gases escape into space, which has significant implications for studying the Earth’s long-term climate change.

Importance of Earth’s Atmosphere Layers

The following are the importance of atmosphere layer,

Troposphere: The troposphere is crucial for life on Earth because it contains the air we breathe. It also acts as a buffer, absorbing harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun.

Stratosphere: The stratosphere is vital because it contains the ozone layer, which shields us from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Without the ozone layer, life on Earth would be at risk from excessive UV exposure.

Mesosphere: The mesosphere plays a role in protecting us from incoming space debris by causing most meteors to disintegrate upon entry.

Thermosphere: The thermosphere is important for various reasons, including its role in helping satellites stay in orbit, as it’s where the International Space Station (ISS) orbits. It also enables the transmission of radio signals over long distances.

Exosphere: The exosphere marks the boundary between our planet and the vastness of space. It’s the layer that spacecraft must pass through to leave Earth’s atmosphere.

The layers of atmosphere work together to regulate the Earth’s climate and provide a suitable environment for life to thrive. Each layer has its unique characteristics and importance, contributing to the delicate balance that sustains our planet. Understanding the structure and significance of these layers enables us to appreciate the intricacies of our atmosphere and the fascinating interplay between its different components.

Spy girl vs mafia boss

THE MAIN CHARACTERS

*sena (spy girl)

*nole(mafia boss)

The story part 1:-

Sena, the enigmatic spy and college student, received a cryptic message from her miniature, fly-shaped gadget, Tun Tun. This device, engineered by master spy headquarters, served as a covert channel for secret communications.

The message was clear: eliminate the mafia gang attending a party, celebrating the successful mass distribution of their narcotics. Sena, with her exceptional skills and unyielding determination, prepared to infiltrate the event and carry out her mission. Little did the mafia know, their moment of triumph would be their last.

Nole, the most ruthless and cold-hearted mafia boss, entered the dome where the party was in progress. His appearance was an immediate spotlight, with his dark eyes, dark hair, square jawline, and the dragon tattoo on his neck - a symbol of his mafia affiliation. Fear permeated the atmosphere, as every individual under his command lived in terror of him.

Sena, the undercover spy, had infiltrated the party, blending in seamlessly with the crowd. All attendees wore face masks, adding an extra layer of mystery and intrigue to the event With her identity concealed, Sena prepared to execute her mission, targeting the mafia gang amidst the festivities.

In the quietude of the evening, with the clock striking 9:44 PM on the dot, the atmospher

within the dome shifted dramatically. The cacophony of voices, previously boisterous and unruly, dissipated into an almost deafening silence. All eyes were fixed upon the solitary figure of Nole, who strode purposefully across the vast expanse of the dome, his footsteps echoing ominously in the hush.

As he reached the center of the dome, Nole took his seat in a chair that seemed to have been crafted specifically for him. With a flourish, he produced a goblet of wine, its ruby-red liquid glinting in the soft light. The air seemed to crackle with anticipation as he raised the goblet to his lips, taking a deep draught of the rich, velvety liquid.

Then, with a voice that seemed to resonate from the very depths of his being, Nole issued a command. His words were clear, his tone unyielding. "Dance," he said, and the entire assembly sprang into motion. The air was filled with the sound of music and laughter as men, women, and children alike obeyed his summons, their movements graceful and fluid.

It was a sight to behold, a moment of pure enchantment that seemed to transport all who were present to another realm. And at the heart of it all was Nole, his presence commanding and awe-inspiring, his voice a symphony of sound that reverberated through the dome and into the hearts of all who heard it.

Sena ascended to the upper floor, positioning herself for a sniper shot. Nole's gaze locked onto her, observing her precise movements as she zoomed in. The shot missed, triggering chaos as hidden thugs emerged, turning on each other. Grrrr the plan failed, leading. Sena and the other spies started killing eachother . A gun pressed against her head it's nole.freezing her in place. Nole removed her mask and captivated by her beauty, hesitated. Sena stared at his eyes and pulled his tie and whispered in his ears "fuck me" nole was confused. He replied Not untill i make u my wife . Sena kicked his balls and escaped from him. He is just starting at her with his evil eyes and smile that he wants to own her.
