cabin in the woods (yonaka & scarlett)

[ascapegoat]

Continued from here.

...no. I don't have to be either.

[If Scarlett were to be honest...if this really is outside The House (which surely it must be at this point) then she's similarly glad to be away. After all her failure, after all the people she had hurt...it was for the best.

At the same time she also felt guilty and hoped that everyone else had been freed to. Out of everyone she was the one who deserved freedom the least.]

If I may ask, where exactly are you from?

[That's true. Or sometimes they could be a hindrance. She just hopes she won't end up being that for Yonaka.]

Is this sort of thing normal? [Come to think of it, Yonaka having mentioned Tokyo made Scarlett assume she cam from the True Realm--but who could be sure? There certainly weren't any Mogekos from what she recalled. And who could really know what it was like now. For all she knew it could be but one year since she existed in The House, or hundreds of years could have passed.] Waking up in a different place, I mean.

I don't think I'm a good judge of 'normal' anymore.

[If she ever was. "An ordinary high school girl," but things had been wrong even before she found herself in Mogeko Castle.]

But I don't think most people wake up in strange worlds? Definitely not twice in their lives.

[ascapegoat]

[She didn't think so. At the very least, the memories she had of True Realm didn't indicate as such, but Scarlett wasn't really sure what to believe these days...or if things had changed drastically since Charles lived]

Whatever the case may be, we'll make the best of it. [Maybe, this one time--this singular time, she could actually help someone.]

[chasescenes]

Right. It is what it is.

...But I'm really glad I'm not alone this time.

[That's one way this is already so much better than the castle.]
