[It has been a few days since things have settled back into relative quiet, leaving behind only memories of those she has so recently encountered. Memories of having her daughter back. After the latest Spectavi broadcast, she's certain this has been simply another cruel trick of their overseers. Her message is simple, quiet; she doesn't have much else to say.]

Perhaps their goal truly is to torture us.

[Turning off the recording, she slips the communicator into her pocket, heading for the door. Perhaps a walk is in order.]

[She shakes her head.] Not crazy. But perhaps a bit optimistic, for my tastes.

[meilihua]

Sorry, sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Taiwan! Nice to meet you!

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

Helen Magnus. It's a pleasure to meet you, as well.

[meilihua]

T-that's one thing, isn't it? {her optimism can get cloying sometimes, feel free to dump cold water over her] I've met so many wonderful people here that I...don't think I ever would have met before.

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

[She hates to take away that optimism, so she simply smiles.]

Yes, I suppose it is.

[Video]

[meilihua]

Have you been here very long? [She really doesn't go out much]

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

A month, perhaps.

[Video]

[meilihua]

W-well, some people stay here for only about that long... Maybe you'll be going home soon?

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

Unfortunately, that wouldn't change this loss.

[Video]

[meilihua]

W-what do you mean? [Did something happen to her? Did a friend here die...?]

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

My daughter. She was here.

[Video]

[meilihua]

But...isn't that a good thing? Are the two of you...not on good terms?

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

She's gone now.

[Video]

[meilihua]

[Awkward...] OH! ...I'm so sorry to hear that...

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

You couldn't have known

[Video]

[meilihua]

Do you...not get to see your daughter when you're at home...?

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

No. Not anymore. [A pause.] She's gone.

[Video]

[meilihua]

How old was she...?

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

24.

[Video]

[meilihua]

So young-! What...what happened...?

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

I made enemies. And she paid the price.

[Video]

[meilihua]

When did this happen...?

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

Three years ago.

[Video]

[meilihua]

So seeing her here was...

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

Difficult.
