Your muse is on their deathbed. They start seeing loved ones who have passed on in their life. Who is there to guide them to heaven as they die?

That depends.

Aymeric has always believed that when you die, you go off to Halone’s halls and rest there until you’re needed in life again.  Ane believes that unless someone Sends your spirit, you’re basically stuck in the in-between.  This is a big difference and, honestly, a source of a bit of stress for both of them- what happens when they die?  Do they have to move on without each other?  It’s a very real possibility that one or both will die young due to their jobs, and they both know and accept the risks, but... there’s definitely a lot of questioning here.

SO.

If Ane dies first, she’ll be the one waiting for him- if not, I’m guessing it will probably be his mother or maybe Haurchefant.  Whoever it is is going to have a very hard time getting him to go without Ane, though, so... good luck to ‘em. :D;;

~ Are there any holidays your muse cannot celebrate properly without feeling upset or lonely?

Not particularly- Aymeric’s never really been one to celebrate holidays mostly for a lack of time.  I’d say it’s quite the opposite now!  He has Ane, a handful of other close friends, and Ishgard is no longer at war- so holidays are now something he feels he can enjoy without guilt.  A bit embarrasingly for him, he’s having to learn what some of them even are- for example, he’s of course heard of St. Valentione’s, but he never paid it much heed and so he doesn’t exactly know what the specifics are.

You’re never too old to learn. :D

To go along with the theme though, I suppose All-Saint’s Wake is one he doesn’t tend to like as much, though it’s one he honors faithfully every year.  He’s lost a lot more friends over the years than he currently has, including one of his best friends (Haurchefant), so... that time of the year is understandably difficult.

~ Are there any sights or images that make your muse feel sad or lonely?

Snow, which can be somewhat problematic.  It’s not all the time, and it’s not debilitating, but... sometimes when he’s outside and it’s snowing, and it’s completely silent and there’s nobody around, there is absolutely a sense of profound loneliness instead of peace.  This usually happens to him when he’s been working a lot and is already kind of down.  He does wish Ishgard could go back to the way it was before the Calamity- but he knows that’s not likely to happen, so that increases the feeling of loneliness.
