[it's a very ugly memory, one that feels like it belongs to a different person, some remnant of the girl who went into the forest and innocently wandered off the path to pick flowers and chase butterflies. a girl capable of needing her mom to help her, instead of a wolf girl who has accepted no one is going to save her and she has to be strong enough to do it herself.]
...That was hard for me, but it was probably harder for my family. You don't have to pretend it isn't bad.
It's bad for both. [ he can't deny being a little horrified that it happened. still, there's nothing he wouldn't give his teammates a pass for, for better or worse. ] That was the wolf talking to you?
...Yeah. But don't judge him too hard based on this. He's actually pretty cool. He sort of turned me into a monster and ruined my life, but in doing so also made me strong enough to fight for all of our stories. And if he hadn't done that, I probably would have just gotten eaten.
[ yeah. okay. that IS a complicated relationship. ]
I don't know. That's... [ it's still bad. he doesn't have to like ylfa's friends, but he does trust her judgment, even if she's 12. ] As long as you trust him. I wish you had a chance at a normal life.
That's the thing. That's what he did give me the chance for. I don't want to be tied to the life in my story. I want the ability to choose what kind of life I have.
Oh. I mean, we haven't gotten to do it yet, but actually - yeah. Some bad things have happened, but some really cool things have happened, too. And I made a lot of friends.
This was before I knew any of them that way, other than Mother Goose. Now that I do, I'm glad I stayed with them.
