We only have to avoid the big questions for the next few days, and then we can both rest easy knowing it will only get much worse.” Luna’s words were without sympathy or comfort, but they were true and the elder alicorn knew it. “It’s big news.

There will be panic. There will be fear. And I for one have to admit it is not entirely unjustified.” Luna shuffled her wings into a more comfortable position.
