-===== Debrief ​=====+===== Adventure Summary ​=====
 The party congregates at the Sweet Blossoms Flower Shop, where Mirabelle Greenglade ushers them into a back-room, imploring that they mind the carnations. Mirabelle is surprisingly young – perhaps not 20 years of ago. She explains that she is hoping to reconnect with her sister, Ysmay. The two orphans once lived together (with their dog, Lucky) as herbalists in a small cottage outside the village of Willowish in the Wyldewode. Seven years ago, Mirabelle left home to seek her fortune in the city, and since then, she has heard nothing from Ysmay. She is aware that the Wyldewode is now mainly flux, and is concerned for her sister’s welfare. She promises to reward the adventurers for their efforts in re-establishing contact with Ysmay, and gives Otto a symbol of her bond with her sister – a sprig of rosemary that the two had gathered not long before Mirabelle’s departure. The party congregates at the Sweet Blossoms Flower Shop, where Mirabelle Greenglade ushers them into a back-room, imploring that they mind the carnations.

 Unfortunately,​ the immune system of the consensus fights back against anything trying to re-enter it, and as they fall back out of the Lost Place, they are attacked by doppels of themselves. Ysmay faces a younger version of Mirabelle – at first terrified of her, Ysmay then tries to fight and kill the dopple of her sister, but Lucian prevents her from doing so – she later thanks him. Bartholomew,​ meanwhile, is busy having a friendly chat with his dopple, while Armand agonises over whether or not he needs to kill this other version of himself. Sev’s dopple convinces Sev that it would be wrong to try to return to consensus – daddy wouldn’t approve. Eventually, unable to tell one Sev from the other, the adventurers are forced to knock both unconscious and carry the two of them back into the woods…. Unfortunately,​ the immune system of the consensus fights back against anything trying to re-enter it, and as they fall back out of the Lost Place, they are attacked by doppels of themselves.

 Its work done, the Nix has vanished for now, but the party notices a trail of breadcrumbs it seems to have left for them. Before they can think about making their way back through the woods, however, they have the matter of two Sevs to deal with. Moving one out of sight of the other, they wake it up and proceed to question it, hoping that they’ll be able to establish the “real” Sev through its memories. It gives a concise account of their recent escapades and insists that they are harming consensus by bringing it back. Registering its responses as inconclusive,​ they return for the other one, only to discover that it has… gone. Its work done, the Nix has vanished for now, but the party notices a trail of breadcrumbs it seems to have left for them.
