They're back! And now #Trending is going to do something that most young people don't do: Get involved in politics at a local level.

Whether by choice or not, three people become their greatest selves and present themselves before the caretaker of irreplaceable souls. They then plead their case to the First of the Caretaken, for the secret to preventing The End can only be given by a broken heart. Dearest listener, this was a rough one, emotionally, for all four of us. Multiple recesses were taken, and all the tears were real. For your own wellbeing and safety, I'd recommend you be in a safe, comfortable place, possibly with a person of comfort nearby if you are in an especially emotionally vulerable state, when it comes time to talk to The Lover.
