Just continuing my project from the week. [Ah, here we go, this paper's thinner, this will work better for bulk... time to take some of this for his Basket 2.0.] I'd hoped to have people write down something important to them, and entrust with another. Like our "engagement", but more purposeful towards how to remember one another.
It wasn't entirely popular, so I've had to adapt it a little. But I still think it's important.
There's only so much to be done, Dehya. If we shouldered every tragedy that happened, we would lose our spark to live. [Guilt was a heavy, heavy thing to hold, twice over when circumstance was the culprit.]
The most we can do now is to remember her for who she was, what she meant to those around her, so that we might bring her back.
I know that, it's just frustrating to not even have a chance! [Hand hands ball into fists.] Being forced to play our stupid parts--if I wasn't being knocked unconscious every curfew, there'd be something I actually could do.
[This place has robbed her freedom, and given nothing not pain in return. She wants to turn the whole thing upside down.]
Then we will find it, in time. So long as we keep looking.
[It's an even timber against her rise of (understandable) temper.]
If she returns like the rest, she is going to need someone there to give her courage when she might not have any. To remember her will be the best we can do, Dehya.
We may have very little control, but it's all the more reason to cling very hard to what is still ours, even if it's simpler than we'd like.
I know it's the best I can do right now, what I'm saying is I want to do more! [She puts her hand to her head with an aggrieved growl.] This isn't me stopping and looking, Solomon. If anything, it's even more important we find a way to get everyone out of here, including who died.

Her smile is equally thin and brief.] Just picking up some stuff for embroidery. Thought I'd work on it at my dorm.
no subject
For fun, or do you have something specific in mind?
no subject
[That's not breaking shit, anyway. And it's important they don't lose their memories of people here, so that they can come back.] What about you?

...
Was your embroidery what was found with Annette?

Though then Solomon moves onto that question. Dehya nods slowly.] Yeah... looks she was holding onto all the things she got for the task.
[Hers, Don's... whoever was passing out papers with ink splotches.]

She was a very lonely girl. [Quiet.] I'm sure it meant a great deal to her, to be trusted with something special.

It would be easier if it were tangible. If it worked the way we expected.
It's hard not to feel like we're failing them all by not pushing outwardly with everything we have.
Perhaps that's how Father or Sika want it. For us to feel despair in this.
no subject
[She assumes that's what he's trying to do.] We're not going to give into that despair. If we do, we really never will get out. What I am is angry.
