[PRE OR POST-EXECUTION it is up to you!!!
Yasusada disappeared pretty quickly after the trial--unsurprising, most likely. But he can be found around today, looking tired, like didn't get very much sleep.
He nods to her in greeting, which is a step up from Friday, if nothing else.]

Hey.
[A nod back to him - she's also looking better, but then again, Hot Pants always has the stoniest look on her face at all times.]
...You look exhausted, you know. I don't blame you.

Mm. I didn't... really sleep, I don't think.
[It's amazing what rest can do on a good day--amazing what the lack of it can do, too. But... well.]
...I didn't want to close my eyes for too long.
[Nothing he was going to dream about last night would've been good.]

Of course.
[After like something like that...it was any wonder anyone could get any sleep.]
I hope you get more sleep later. Nobody would want you running yourself ragged. Despite everything.

Good.
[And...a pause.]
He wouldn't want to see you damaged. And neither would the rest of us.

[That gets a flicker of a smile, though it's gone quickly, and it doesn't reach his eyes.]
Thank you. I know. [A pause, as he clearly figures out how to say what he wants to say.] It's not the first time I've seen someone break, so...
[Even if it's difficult right now, even if he's weighed down by sorrow and anger and self-doubt, he knows he has to keep going.]

[Oh, Yams...]
...Could I ask something? If a sword breaks...can they be put together?

Thoughtlessly, he lifts a hand to his neck, touching that lingering scar before he curls his fingers into his scarf. He doesn't answer for a long time.]
No. Not normally. [A long pause, before he takes a deep, careful breath.] But, Aruji... our master at home, he can find their spirits, sometimes. He's done that before. [...] Just--never since he's given us these bodies.
[And obviously, being in the prism complicates things in a way Yasusada can't even begin to try and understand.]
Aruji is powerful, though. I'll trust in him.

[Her glance flits to that scar.....ah.]
Hm. [She folds her arms, pensive - and after a moment, she speaks.] I'll trust in him, too. Its one thing if I were to die, for example. Humans don't have second chances. If your Aruji is that powerful, then...I think hope is what one should focus on.

Don't just want. Do it.
[...A huff.]
If he were here...I bet he'd just grin and tell us to keep our heads up, no matter what. [...] And I can't...argue with that.

[Hello, Yams!]
[Hot Pants is standing in the middle of the bridge to the meeting hall.]
What is. Happening.
[She is also on fire and may be considering jumping in the river below.]

I don't know?
[SHE?? GESTURES??? AT HERSELF???? on fire]
It doesn't hurt, but...it's still going like this!

[Hot Wet Pants!]
[Still burning.]
Worth a try.

Somehow, I don't think that will work. I'll be fine.
[The fire burns BRIGHTER and HOTTER]

I think the flower specifically is "act the opposite of how you normally act", as far as I've seen. The good news is he won't act like that for long. Just a day.
