[ It only occurs to Rose a couple days after Faith has left that there's something she could carry on in her honor. Her visit to Sorrow's temple, which elicits the emotion in her she's been trying to swallow down, is not a pleasant one. She cries for the first time since she'd realized Faith was gone. It surprises even her just how easily it happens as she walks through the threshold of the temple even though she'd been on the verge of tears for practically three days now.
It's interesting, in a way, to have a place that provide the catharsis of a good cry that she'd been denying for wanting to put on a brave face in the absence of Faith's presence. Anyway. That's not actually why she's here. Rose is here to place a candle - a simple, deep purple one - in place of the last one Faith had left that has since burned out. ]
For you, dude, [ she says, after hard sniffle, even though she doesn't expect him to respond. ] S'what she would've wanted, I think.
[ She'll watch the candle once it's lit for a few moments to make sure it stays burning before turning to take her leave. In a few days, another one will replace it. This is a 'tradition' she's steadfast in carrying on. ]
