Diasomnia Dorm - Lilia's Room

Lilia

You know, when I first enrolled I was careful to bring only the important things, stuff I'd never throw away... But my goodness, just look at all the junk I've collected. I wonder how many boxes all this would fill. Time to cut the chaff, boys! I'm gonna be packing light from now on! First, I'll get rid of the clothes I hardly wear. Sebek, would you mind separating my clothes by season and laying them out on the bed?

Sebek

Yes, sir!

Silver

I'll check your drawers.

Lilia

Please do. And I'll sort through my books and instruments. I'd love to keep playing all these instruments, but they're just so unwieldy!

Silver

Let's see... Guess I'll start with the bottom drawer and work my way up.

Silver

huff* He keeps pocket change and old tests in the same place. Class 1-C, Lilia Van—... Wait, these are tests from two years ago! What's this? Something's sticking out in the back.. A keyboard? On closer inspection, several keys are missing. What was he even doing with this? Here's an expired coupon for a coffee shop... And some dried out nail polish that's as hard as a rock... *sigh* I don't think I need to check with Father about any of this. It can all just go in the trash. I've always known he wasn't good at keeping things neat and tidy... But I question if it's really safe to let him travel to the Land of the Red Dragon alone. Maybe I should accompany him after all... Just focus on one thing at a time, Silver. Let's clean out these drawers. What's in the next one... A candy tin? What's inside? Please don't tell me it's candy from his freshman year or something...

Silver

It's a ring, and...some acorns? These acorns look really old. They're cracked, and I can see where bugs have wormed out of them.

Silver

Conversely, both the metal and the gems on this ring look pristine and flawless. One of the gems is pretty large. It's probably valuable. And he just keeps it in a candy tin? Huh... Have I seen this ring somewhere before? The gems have an auroral hue... Rgh... Ngh... Getting...sleepy...

Lilia

Silver? What's wrong?
