[He's juggling Aerith bullying him and Don running over with flour covering everything, but at least it gives Lilia time to write in peace. Solomon won't peek - it's not his job.]
Do you want to start with that much, and see how it feels? It's a very simple fold.
[He chuckles, grabbing one of the remaining strips he's already filled out.]
First, a loop at one end, like this. Pull the end through gently, like tying a knot--
Then you fold the long portion over... And just rotate, in a pentagon, allll the way until the end, here...
Tuck that little end into the pocket it makes, just make sure it's snug. And then you just pinch those corners, very lightly, just enough to make them pop.
They're a very fun craft to teach children, I've heard. I just decided to adapt it a little.
[Aerith's run off with his pen so he'll have to wait a little before continuing his writing, but he does look at the star he's just folded, delicately squeezed between finger and thumb.]
It makes the memories easier to keep, when you make them fun.

You can join me, if you'd like. I don't have a large amount, but I could show you how to fold them into stars.

You still have a pen on you, correct?

Always.

[He'll drop that little pile down nearby and instead work on folding the strip made for Yugamu into a little paper star while he waits.]

[Hmm, what to write...?

[Time to fold another!]

We've lost three of our five in only five days time. The dead deserve their space, and so does Pinocchio.

He exhales quietly, before folding up another star, slower this time.]
So long as we can avoid any more being lost permanently, I'll have no complaint.

[Good news: more of peridot did not immediately die!
Bad news:]

Mm. We only do what we feel we must, as we can. Right?
At least, for this... I really appreciate the help.
