This is sort of another 'Unseen Scene'. I had an ask on Tumblr which inspired this! They asked what would Sanja have said if it had been N that had entered the tent in the Love Triangle route and not A.

“You seek guidance?” the Teller asks, her blue eyes shining like crystals that capture N’s focus.

“That is one word for it,” N replies with a chuckle, staring back to the tent entrance where the Detective had just left.

Sanja peers past them to follow their eye-line. “I see.” Her fingers dip into the clear water of the bowl, ripples fanning out around them and shimmering in the low light.

N eases a step forward, curiosity and fascination too much to overcome.

Her eyes open slowly, a sadness heavy within them that tugs at N’s chest.

“What is it?” They almost don’t want to ask the question.

She remains silent for a while longer. “You know, do you not, vampiir? Deep down. You know what I would say.” Her head tilts towards the tent flaps. “You know what fate is ahead for you. For that human…for the other.”

“Other?” N’s gaze snaps up to hers. But they're unsure why they sound so surprised. The Teller is right, after all. But denial can overcome most things.

The teller offers a smile, the corners of it crinkled with sympathy. “This love you share is beyond any I have felt before. The depth of it deeper than the widest of oceans. But a storm unsettles that sea.” She slips her hands further into the bowl. “You may all find yourselves lost. Drowning beneath the depths that would otherwise set you free.”

N stares at her. Wide-eyed. Unblinking. Until they finally manage a breath and make to turn away.

“Please, I…Don’t tell me anymore.”

“I tell you only what you already know,” she continues as N makes to step away. “But there is something you cannot see…" N pauses and looks back to watch as the Teller closes her eyes and hunches over the bowl. "Even if you wade in the shallows…there is a darkness on the waves that threaten to drown you all.”

N clasps their hands into fists at their sides and storms from the tent.

Outside, they stumble to a stop as they see the Detective. 

And N knows that no matter any prophecy, no matter any fate…it will be worth it.
