[Text] From Late Night

[matchbreaker]

[ I mean she's still out in Magatus but there's a thought which has sort of lingered in the back of her mind for a while now and as such more to clear her mind from thoughts of wolves and the thoughts of her own son (including of all things puns, why??? she's going to put out vaguepost in the form of: ]

So does anyone else have children in the memories they've been getting?

To answer my own question the woman I am in my memories has a son and then her son has three children as well.

[ So this tbh pretty young looking 41 year old is a grandmother in her memories but that's beside the point. ]

Is there...?

[matchbreaker]

I think?

The memories are a blurr, but I'm not sure I recall the name of the girl she almost killed.

One would think these things would be a bit more important than Retrospec seems to deem them.

[matchbreaker]

Honestly.

It was a very dramatic moment... the hatred she felt, it lingers with me.

[manufactured]

I understand. I've had a few similar experiences; it's always a little surreal when the emotional state is strong enough to stay with you.

Obviously, the worst in that regard was what you saw in October, once I was able to process it in my head.

But it really is strange. On the whole, I do think she wasn't a terrible person. Hurt, and that made her strike out. But then there's other times when I need to temper that with the knowledge she did try to kill that girl and I'm not sure if vampires leave a body count behind.

That latter part isn't anything that can be helped, one way or another.

[ . . . Yes, it can. But she would be a hypocrite to say that to Albert. ]

It's still a worry I have, honestly. What happens when I finally change

[manufactured]

We'll find a way to handle it, Elda. I promise you.

[ . . . She smiles at that, even though she knows he's out there beyond the cave they're in, it makes her feel close. ]

I know. I believe in us.

[ But it's... honestly really nice to hear that, and she realizes that might not be explicit in text so she then adds, ]

Thank you.

[manufactured]

Of course.
