[Goodness. The tone of this house is rapidly changing by the day, isn't it? They're seeing it through new eyes, and the story that's being painted now is a far more sobering one than cheer and celebration.
But even though the lobby has changed so thoroughly, Lunafreya has presents in her stocking today! First is a masquerade costume, lavish in its creation and covered in pearls, but a much older style than she's used to when it comes to fashion. Decidedly not her size, either! It's set aside and then she pulls out...
Oh.
Her hand goes to cover her mouth as Lunafreya slides a brown leather-bound notebook from the stocking. It's impossible, and yet it's here, just as surely as if Umbra had brought it back to her... she opens the front cover, turning to the first page, where a dried sylleblossom is pressed, and that'll be it for Luna for a little while. Seeing the notebook, being able to run her fingers over Noctis's words, remembering writing her own messages to him and the happiness she'd felt any time Umbra had brought the book back--all of it is overwhelming, especially in juxtaposition to the hellish sort of atmosphere the house has taken on lately. For a long while she'll be in the foyer, just looking through the book and overcome with emotion.
Receiving the book the two of them had shared won't wholly distract Luna from the rest of the goings-on, though. Again she can be found picking through the infirmary, comparing its destruction now to the way things had been the day before, and later she can be found in the dining room in spite of its oppressive atmosphere. Her eyes are closed, her hands clasped as she sits in the center of the room (though she'll open them should anyone approach!). This is her duty, here and now. To be a light in the darkness, to bring what light she can to a dark world and to hold back its corrupting influence--it is her calling and her birthright, and be it here or in Eos, Lunafreya will not back down, no matter how strong the feelings in the room around her seem to get.]
