[ kate can be found in scawwy!

she's by the pyre in the village, looking at the posters on the noticeboard. ]

[disingenuous]

[ she slowly approaches kate and looks over some of the posters. ]

Is there anyone you miss?

[sootprints]

... Yes. A lot of them.

[ she'll look to scien's poster... ]

For one... Scien was someone who gave me advice whenever I was troubled. He was gentle, but he didn't sugarcoat things just because I'm a child. A lot of people won't talk about painful things with children, but... however scary the truth is, being left in the dark is much scarier. I think he understood that.

[ kate makes scien sound so favorable, so roxana can't help but nod along even if she wouldn't be able to stand him in reality. ]

He sounds like he treated you how you wanted to be treated but also how you should. There are some things that can't be avoided, especially when murder surrounds you. Do you think you'd have an easier time with him here?

[sootprints]

[ valid. ]

... Perhaps so. I do wish I could go and talk to him, like before.

But, maybe relying on him too much would mean I haven't grown much since then. I should try to be adaptable...

[disingenuous]

There's no shame in having someone you find comfort in. As long as you can still function when he's not around, you're fine.

Aren't you adapting right now?

[sootprints]

[ ... a nod. ]

Yes. I know that I can...

[disingenuous]

Precisely. You can lean on someone and still stand on your own. You don't have to be one or the other.

You have time to continue growing into who you want to be.
