[ despite the fact that tart is literally never awake in the morning and has literally needed to be dragged to shepherd meetings and has been asleep for like half the recent PSAs and did not even properly make his own plot PSA and made biscuit do it instead because he was too sleepy to do so

tart is here. awake. alive. alert. quiet, because he's got paper out and he's making notes, plural—there are the notes he's taking by hand, but there's also just a pen operating autonomously, come to life and sketching down the diagrams that come up in the illusory powerpoint.

even after mute's done, he's quiet, with little to say except: ]

Puberty rune.

[ a sheet of paper is also floating directly to mute, along with the autonomous pen

also he does not seem to register literally anyone else existing in the room. ]
