( For Illyria. )

And on the wall (the perfect, pristine wall -- she'd never taken to writing on it here, not even the days she was sorely tempted), in slightly loopy and messy handwriting, said with a whispered almost-prayer to whatever magic kept this place running to let it stay for a while, just long enough that someone would know, and remember an existence that had been lead quietly and often incredibly strangely, but lead nonetheless:
Winifred Burkle was here.
