In the oxygen gardens Ai is sitting off to the side, she's still in view though and she seems to be staring at a butterfly in her hands. It looks like a real butterfly ...up until it lifts off her hand and then vanishes in front of her.

She watches it fade dispassionately. And then another appears on her hand.

"They were killed because of me. ...when the villagers found out what they had done.

I have nightmares of being buried alive again with their bodies. My cousin betrayed me in the end and then ran away.

They killed me and my family. So I came back and killed them all."

This is said with almost serene calmness, but she is clutching her knees so hard her fingers are white.

Hayley notices the tenseness that comes across from the girl. "The feeling of loss, of needing to make things right - I know that feeling." She had blood on her hands as well, the pack that had sold her out - that had traded away the life of her child for their own ability to control their shifting. Something that werewolves had been dealing with for centuries - that had been part of them. To press a value to that, to make it a simple exchange. She didn't regret what she did, but she did feel remorse for the lives that were lost for such a selfish reason.

"Are any of them here?" She tries to press a small bit, just hoping to see if she can try to dispel some of her nightmares with the thought that they won't be here to take action against her.

She blinks slightly because....she never even thought of them showing up here...or what she would do if they did. ....what if her cousin showed up....what if....

She tries to calm herself. Because they aren't here. No one is.

"No. There is no one from my world here."

[consequence]

Hayley nods, "Then that's a start. Knowing that you're safe here, that there's no one that'll wish you hard - does that help ease your mind any?"

"They wouldn't be able to hurt me if they were here....not physically.....

It wouldn't go well if they did."

She's thinking about this too much now.

[consequence]

"Strength is a good thing to have, but so are people you can trust. The fact that you're talking to me about this - it's a good thing. It might hurt, but it helps to have someone to tell things to."

[shallbeavenged]

She nods slightly.

"Trust....is hard."

[consequence]

"It's not meant to be easy," Hayley replies.

"Nothing worth having is ever easy."

[shallbeavenged]

There's a pause and she nods again. And...

"Thank you."

[consequence]

"Of course," she replies, easily.
