[ she looks up for a second and then just. scoots over a little to make room for her. ]

... How are you doing? Honestly.

[ This poor child has cried so much?? ]

[ she is SO dehydrated rn

she looks up at Otome and thinks...she's nice. she helps heal everyone, and is even teaching Mabel to do the same. and she can't recall her amongst the voices at the trial...so if there's anyone she thinks might understand, it'd be Otome.

she sniffles and looks down at her feet. ]

...I-I thought people here were nice! And friendly! And I could trust them! But--but the second we knew Caiman did it, it's like everyone turned on him, even though we knew he didn't want to, and he needed help too!

[ Otome reaches out to rest a hand on her hair, quiet for a minute. ]

Your initial impressions aren't wrong. And I'm not pleased that people lashed out at him, or at you. I just know that grief and rage can make us say or do things that we can't entirely control. And Mollymauk's death was... brutal. So many people were already on edge.

This place... doesn't allow for kindness, I've noticed.

But... [ sniffles ] ...doesn't that just mean we should make up for it?

[momming]

Yes. I think now more than ever is when we need to come together.

I just also think it's going to take some time... and I know the closer we grow, the more it will hurt if we lose someone.

[ well. just throws herself at Otome for a hug. ]

...it's not going to be "if", is it.

[momming]

[ That's fine, Otome will fold her into her arms and hold her tightly. ]

... I'm afraid not.
