With the weekend's latest tragedy, a strange mood has descended over Cartesio. What happened was unprecedented, and perhaps that's why the already decreasing hostility from the townsfolk comes to a complete halt. Could it be the strange circumstances? Bolin's desperate plea? Last week's peaceful Wednesday? Some combination? Whatever the reason, it's clear that the Sergeant's iron fist around the town has loosened. While the residents aren't jumping to interact with you, there's no graffiti, no new broken windows.
Cartesio is confused...but open to explanation, for perhaps the first time.
Still, while the town seems amiable, almost accepting again, there's little to chase away the knowledge that the Sergeant's tasks for you are near their end, and that means those without medals are doomed to their fate.
Or does it? After everything that's turned around, is it possible for you to claw your way out of here as well?

nevertheless, people might be hearing a surprised shriek coming from Sakura's room — don't worry, she's fine, she's just extremely surprised? yikes. it does take her a while to calm down, of course, but eventually she does have to grab a pen and paper because she knows the meaning behind this message.
once she thinks over it a bit, she eventually comes up with a possible answer for what the message is:
stay strong.
it's short and simple, but it means the world to her that someone would say that to her, causing her to smile. tears are starting again, yes, but she's smiling, saying the words a little small: "Thank you." she knows that she can't be heard, most likely, but it's the thought that counts, right? right.
after all's said and done, however, she's going to the flower shop - she needs to pick up a few flowers-- some aster tataricus (remembrance) and bluebells (grateful) along white and yellow chrysanthemums. for the memorial in the motel. also said memorial is filled to the brim with cranes. like, a bunch of them. it's not 1000, or even close but there's A Lot -- and the fresh flowers are going on there after making sure that the other flowers she's brought have been taken care of. just in case they're wilting.
aaaand after that she's going to be seeking out people? mostly making sure that the others from her group are doing alright - with a heavy focus on seeking out Waver, Rean (why hasn't anyone made a reanfinery pun yet, shame) and Alfin but not necessarily approaching them, as to keep her distance for now, she just wants to make sure that they're unharmed, really.
late at night, though, people might find Sakura at the park, sitting down near the pond just gazing up at the night sky instead of... actually doing much of anything. just thinking. ]
Investigation
While Sakura is leaving the park late that night, though, she'll see something...]

this is the worst kind of irony, sergeant. that is what she's thinking. she does smile and wave her off, though almost knowingly. ]

oh! There's someone hanging out by the pond.]
Hey, Cherry! Hot enough for ya?
