[In the aftermath of fire, public reaction is mixed. Some are grateful for those whom the heroes from Ladle managed to save, while others criticize them for not saving everyone or leaving others to die. There's debate on whether or not "heroes" are worth keeping around, and funding is getting to be an issue. (Even an organization of superheroes, ultimately, needs money to keep going.) Who wants to sponsor people who aren't doing enough?
The boss assures Lalli and Lux that this isn't their problem to deal with, though, and gives them some time off to cope.
Before they leave, though, she'll give Lux a pendant: it will heal one person of fatal injuries (note: things like illness or poison not included). It can be used only within this CYOA. According to her, it's a gift from the woman whose daughter she saved. She, regardless of what anyone else says, is grateful to Lux for being there.
Lux and Lalli will feel that several days have passed, when they find themselves in the Ladle headquarters. The panda man is leading them to a room.]
You wouldn't know since you were off work, but we got two more newcomers! They'll be your juniors, so treat them well, all right?
