Sure, sure. [the smile gets a bit of a shy grin in return.]
And fair enough. I don't think anybody is expecting you to speed through shit this week. Well. Us, anyway, the staff is a bunch of assholes. "Not a charity" - yeah, no kidding.
[huff.] Are you doing okay? I didn't... see the end. Sorry.
This is gonna sound like a platitude, and I know I'm probably not going to change your mind or anything, but. You were forced to be up there. You didn't do it on purpose.
[she sounds like she feels very strongly about this.] It was you, sure, but under your own power, and under your own - ethics, you wouldn't. It's not your fault.
[it's the kind of firm that comes from experience.]
That's fair. Yeah. I get that. [she tilts her head back a bit.] That's a good goal. To never have anybody feel that way again. I don't think I'm like, optimistic enough to think it won't, but we can try.
It's - you know, the normal stuff, right? Where it's just go to class, get some hot chocolate, hang out with people, get to know them! And then worry about them being murdered! It's fucked up.
Mm... that's it, exactly. The fact that they expect us to try and lead normal lives knowing what happened and also knowing it could very well happen again...
[oh, she loves her friends she's EXCITED about this]
Well - I guess Jester, she's a tiefling? Like Molly. But she's blue, and she's real cute. She likes sweets and playing pranks, and she's really fucking strong. [...] Or Yasha, she's, uh. She's real tall, and she looks like she could snap your neck but she'd never. She's really gentle.

... Hey. Good to see you up.

Thank you! Ah, for the sentiment as well as the drink. [ And she takes the hot chocolate. ]
I thought I shouldn't press my luck and miss classes. I just have to take things a little slower this week.

... I just... don't want to forget it. How it felt.
Because I never want to feel that way again. I don't want anyone to have to feel that way.

I know there's a lot we don't know yet. But I do know that there's a cruelty to this that I can't forgive.

The dissonance is the cruel part.
