[she doesn't know at all but she thinks back to the meeting room she started out in]

Is it... Silence?

The maids in the crowd look surprised... ashamed? Of themselves, of course.

Jyanta is amused, tickled.

"Wow, probably not! Songgggggggphany has been killing people for over a hundred years! UNLESS! You take into consideration every iteration of Silence who has ever existed... then yes."

Damn, I over thought it. I was sure it was a trick question. Except it sounds like it kind of was one after all.

"Well, we won't punish you for it... it seems like you have had a spot of trouble with our master after all...?"

Jyanta tilts his head and the maids all fall silent.

[so many silent stares, do not want]

I wouldn't say we've had trouble... Is there a specific moment you're referring to? Or am I suppose to supply that for you.

[being calculating backfired so this time she goes with sincerity]

Delicious food. Long naps. Challenging games, but not cruel ones. And most of all.... when I can help the people I care about, whether it's Future is Now or any of my other friends. Being useful when it counts feels so good.

The rest of the maids chatter among themselves, but it seems to be gleeful as they have small smiles on their faces. Jyanta himself is overjoyed.

"Uwaaaah, thank you! A very good answer that doesn't upset the master AND makes us happy. You deserve a prize!"

He holds out... a Blue Feather pin, like the kind you stick in your hair.

[ok this is bizarre but not terrifying, she accepts the Blue Feather hair accessory]

Um, thanks. I'll make sure to keep it with me.

> You have acquired a Blue Feather. As you hold it, you feel a spark of joy. Marie Kondo approved. Its use is unclear...

"As you should! It's very important to Silence. If you lose it, I will personally be sad, which is saying a lot given how important I am!"

The other maids all nod, and begin to finally applaud you.

[awkwardly takes a weird mixture of a bow and curtsy when she hears the applause and almost falls over]

I promise I won't lose it. So, um, where do I go from here?
