still so gucking delighted by how happy dapper was when they heard about all of bad’s killing. mad scientist baby loves loves loves to see his dad covered in other people’s blood. I can’t wait to see the other eggs’ reacts to what their parents did in purgatory. Will Richas be excited to hear all the tales of murder? Will Pomme be horrified? Is Chayanne gonna be delighted to hear about his dad and his mighty feat of saving tubbo? What about Leo? Ramon? Tallulah? their parents all went thru so much, and did so much. What will they think about it? (And will their parents even tell them?)

Matilda and Vertin Are Still Friends
Matilda and Vertin are the type of friends who are always annoying each other yet support each other when things get tough.
Matilda appreciation ahead.
Matilda is only 14. To put this into perspective, she is closer in age to Eagle and Sotheby (13) than Vertin and Sonetto (16 if Vertin is the same age as Sonetto). She is a duckling, but despite that we can see she is a reliable and brilliant arcanist who stayed near the top of her class. Matilda and Vertin befriended each other naturally, as opposed to Sonetto and Vertin being forced together as deskmates. One of the best students got along fine with the worst student and no one had to push them to make it happen.
In her voice lines, Matilda may sound like she's nagging but she might see it as wanting her friends to be their best selves. Afterall, who doesn't want to be the best? Matilda logic at its finest. It's why she “corrects” Vertin (like showing her the best way to eat a baguette) or praises her when she does something right (for example, she likes Vertin's style and compliments the way her scarf goes with her shirt). She's a pushy ducky, but she means well. It seems like Vertin is already used to this because her presence in the Suitcase shows she's still a welcome friend. Matilda does offer help to Vertin in several voice lines too. She talks a big talk when she does, but we know she can walk the walk.
When Sonetto's not involved, Vertin and Matilda appear to pester each other. From the voice lines, it seems like Vertin usually goes along with her antics but sometimes she purposely brings up Sonetto out of nowhere to rile her up. In some of Matilda's lines, it sounds like she's responding to Vertin too. “The glorious sun, as bright Matilda! Huh, got a problem?”
You know Vertin gave her a look.
At night time when Matilda is doing her divinations and is muttering to herself in french, we can assume Vertin's being careful not to disturb her, or Matilda is actually doing it for Vertin. Regardless, there is a sense of respect there. During battle she'll say “don't tell me what to do” but clearly she's listening to Vertin's directions or else the game wouldn't work.
Matilda is loud, she's proud, but she'll have your back as fiercely as she quacks.
The duck deserves respect.

something about q!bagi not truly understanding the eggs, even being scared of them, not having that emotional connection... and then time on the island starts to pass.
she meets people. those people are sad, broken, grieving for these children she never knew and doesn't truly care for... but she can tell people are kind and have motivation, it's just buried under the pain.
she says hello to bobby when the sun rises. the stops to read old signs, more and more. she looks at art, and notices the places where little feet used to walk on, and reads their books.
books, much more tangible than signs, so much easier for someone who doesn't know them to see the proof of who they were right there.
she feels something. not the grief of parents unaware of their children's whereabouts, but... something. she gains the understanding that these eggs truly are children, babies. loved, so loved, so cared for that their absence looms over the island like rainclouds every second of every day.
she feels something, and she understands enough.
suddenly, even if she doesn't know these babies, she knows their parents just enough to understand how much they mean.
she's going to find those eggs.
