Who: Ezell and... you!
What: Canon Update and his subsequent mental breakdown
When: After Silent Hill(tm)
Where: The Grove
Warnings: Ezell's deteriorating mental health, for starters- but tags will have cws in the headers as they come up!

I. May the order of Laterano shine upon us, Show us the path of life (Open)

[ Ezell does not remember going into the woods. He remembers the white of the mountains, or maybe it was the white of the shining city of Laterano. The image of it still stuck in his head, despite he's been away from it for over a year at this point. He's not even a field executor anymore, so then... why...?

Regardless, he does stagger out of the forest, and when he realizes he is safely back to the Grove, he should probably head back home. He should probably head back to the bakery and let the people there know he's okay. He can only imagine it must've been jarring for Ain to realize he was out in the woods. Or, maybe it would make sense to head to the center of the Grove to get his bearings, since things have been fucked these past two months, and ensure he's still in the Grove that he knows, and not some secretly twisted version of it.

He does neither of these things. The second he's back in the Grove, he falls to his knees and holds himself. Perhaps it's clear why. The glow from his halo and wings are now completely dull. They don't even seem to give off that mirror-like quality anymore. But, more concerning, they seem... "broken". Like they're glitchy with circular anomalies reminiscent of computer wires sprouting from them.

Anyway, he's probably fine. ]

II. That we may ever live in joy (Closed to the bakery crew)

[ He's getting his stuff and he's going to the Inn. He doesn't know how to face Ain or Flamebringer like this. He doesn't know how to tell them anything that he knows now. He's feeling so many things and he doesn't feel anyone else anymore, and it's... miserable. He's miserable. He knows it's next to impossible to isolate himself when the Grove is the way it is, but he has to.

He just can't be here. ]

III. East of the east of La Unidad, Laterano, holy city of white (Open)

[ Ezell's handwriting is still neat. Even when stressed out to all hell, he's done paperwork for so long this much is easy enough for him. ]

Hello. This is Ezell. The bakery will have the "CLOSED" sign out front for the bakery itself, as I cannot find it in me to run the kitchen at this time. I should be able to return... eventually. Just not right now. However, if those of you wish to enter to enjoy the company of the bunnies, disregard the sign. You're welcome to find comfort with our furry friends.

Thank you for understanding.
