*Gooood afternoon, everyone! It's been a long while since I've visited the land of eternal autumn, so I hope to rekindle the flames a touch. Now, let me paint you a picture...*
Adeline, clad in the silken dress that Goto gifted her all that time ago, is wandering around the Sanctuary's perimeter, urgently looking for people she recognizes as if on some important mission- and in a sense, she is. Within the burrow at the heart of the sanctuary, her cocoon lies among those of all her moth siblings, empty. Waiting for her. But she's not ready yet- there's one thing she must do before then. If these are her last moments of humanity, she thinks, she'd like to spend them with those she cares about.

Goto sits by the fire, a blanket over his slumped shoulders and his head hanging down. Snow has begun to pile on his back.

Adeline sits beside the fire nearby, letting her quilted shawl hang over her shoulders to catch its warmth. "Hello, Goto. It's been a little while since we've talked. How have you been?" She starts, smiling the faintest bit, though something still weighs on her mind.

He doesn't respond. She notices that frost has formed on his body, and he is perfectly still. She doesn't see any fog from his breath, and the red lights in his eyes don't shine.

Her expression and thoughts shift into worry the more of these details she notices. "...Goto? Are you okay?" If possible, she carefully holds his arm to check for a pulse.

She feels the ice crackle, but no pulse.
Goto is dead.
Her heart plummets when she can't find the pulse, her worry only growing. She doesn't want to believe it. "G- Goto?... Please wake up..." She checks his neck for a pulse. Nothing. "Come on, this isn't funny..." Tears drip onto the damp earth around the fire. She tries to listen for a heartbeat. Nothing. "...no... no, this... this can't..." She tries to sense some lingering hint of magic, but her antennae don't work like that. "...please..."
With nothing that she can do, and her hopes dashed, the moth clings to where there was once light, sobbing, grieving. She can't stop shivering.

No one comes to comfort her. One of his eyes falls out, cracked and frozen. A short obituary is engraved into it.
Not even the curseflame could save him, but he stuck it out to the end. He was slowly freezing from the inside-out for months, looking for a way to save himself.
But it seems his curse couldn't help but hurt those around him. The only blessing he left for his friends was another grave to dig.

I'm sorr
It cuts off there.
Still shivering, with tears freezing onto her face, she picks up the eye and reads its inscriptions. She clutches it closer to herself, a gentle yet strong hold to keep it from slipping away. "...I'm... I'm sorry..." is all she manages to utter through her sobbing. The almost-fey stays there beside the fire and the frozen corpse of her friend for a long while, until the flames shrink down to crackling embers.
She looks up at him, and then at the burrow, and back to him... and she utters something quietly, mostly to herself- a small vow. "...I'll... I won't waste your blessings..." She wipes away some of her frosted tears, and more take their place seconds after. "I'll make you proud... I'l make all of you proud..."
Adeline stands up, gently hugging the witch king's body for a moment. "...Goodbye... friend..." She pulls away, carefully placing the carved eye in one of her dress pockets, and walks back into the burrow, readying her sewing supplies.

Doctor Slopnik is in a makeshift lab near the Starshredder, assembling some sort of monstrosity from tanks of glowing ooze, black slime, and what looks like it might have been a dog at some point.
Gardziel and Typhon watch the man work. Typhon looks concerned, while Salt looks more entertained.
Elsewhere, Piecemeal is digging a grave for Goto.
