Optimism is writing the discharge summary before the whole team has rounded on the patient.
A Senior Resident
Violet Baudelaire, on the shores of Briny Beach. With her field-glass, she spied for a submarine that never peeked from beneath the still waters, and remembered a time when a friend of hers sent a telegram to Queequeg, requesting that they meet at this particular beach.
Quite expectedly, picnicking at Briny Beach had very much lost its joy since her teenage years.
Dated five years after the first and last time she had the displeasure of being in the Gorgonian Grotto.
Sunny Baudelaire, walking through the halls of the renovated Baudelaire Mansion. Her memories of her infancy and early childhood are extremely hazy, though she does recall the most prominent figure that had plagued her and her siblings’ lives for almost two years. It is to be noted, however, that she has yet to disclose just how much she remembers to Violet and Klaus Baudelaire.
Dated three years after her escape from The Island.
Isadora Quagmire, pausing mid-couplet to reminisce about her two brothers.
Dated two years after she last saw Quigley and Duncan Quagmire.
Violet Baudelaire, reading a book and enjoying her ability to exist as a carefree young adult - a phrase which here means “a person who has newly surpassed adolescence and the fear of being killed by vengeful distant relatives and their hooligans”.
Dated to a few minutes before she was forced to reassess the above statement.
Violet Baudelaire and Isadora Quagmire, enjoying a spring-time picnic.
Dated to Isadora’s 20th birthday.
Kit Snicket and Beatrice Baudelaires, posing in the backyard of the once-esteemed VFD academy.
Purportedly, when the Baudelaire children found this photograph, they were taken aback by how much Violet resembled their late mother in her teenage years.
Dated to a time when the talk of a schism was nothing more than paranoid gossip.
Georgina Orwell, posing as the newly appointed representative of the student council at Prufrock Prep.
Dated to a time when Dr. Orwell was still a student and not the perpetrator of questionable medical operations.

”’I can only hope that the right guests will come to our party, lest the cake be too sweet and the tea withoutsugar,’ says locally beloved visionary frock designer, Mrs. Denouement, in an interview pertaining to the upcoming birthday of her triplet sons, leaving the small crowd of gathered citizens justifiably confused. The nature of this strange statement in regards to the family’s subsequent perishing in the Denouement Fire has been highly speculated as of late (see next page for details).” -The Daily Punctilio
Violet Baudelaire, standing outside a jovial party hall to regain her senses. A particular couple had reminded her of a past love whom she never saw again after a dread-inducing separation, and she admitted to our resources that at that moment, a heart-tugging nostalgia had seized her, forcing wistful ‘what-ifs’ into her mind.
Dated five years after the last time she had seen Quigley Quagmire.
A creative volunteer, enjoying an enchanted winter in the now demolished VFD academy, wherein she worked as a part time instructor for the young initiates, providing an education in the form of dramas which she has both written and acted. However, most of her time was spent traveling the world in search of long lost plays and poems; an endeavor which she claimed was vital to the cultural enrichment of humanity as a whole. She could often be seen with other well-known volunteers, some of whom were part of the theater group as well. Much to her concern and dismay, her once tight-knit group of friends saw a rising tide of internal animosity, as both ideals and personal relationships clashed. Her closest friend, Kit Snicket, was especially distraught by a certain fight between her and a member who would go on to become a fire-starter.
Dated to a year before the schism.
