[She's been quiet since she was revived at the hospital. The events of the past month seem almost like a dream - especially with the reversal of all of the building damage. It looks almost like it did before Lavos was summoned. It feels almost like it did before.
But she knows it isn't. After everything, she had returned to the inventory, but it felt strange to her now. Dangerous. It was no longer a place that was safe. The thought tugs at her from the back of her mind - she's been there for more than a year now, and she wants it to be safe, wants to keep her home there. But her final moments keep playing in her mind. Morbidly curious - she doesn't remember what happened, and she knows she doesn't want to remember but she keeps seeing the spikes in her mind, watching from her window the devastation Lavos unleashed on them. And then....?]
[The quiet is unsettling to her. She can't muster up enough energy to pretend that nothing happened, but she can talk about better things.]
...it was cute seeing a lot of people as little kids.
[And it was! Phoenix, Ace, even Giovanni (although he seemed more like her age than "little") - it makes her wonder what those who didn't change would've been like. She's not really motherly, as it were - she can't imagine herself being a very good one - but a big sister role seems to fit, well enough.]
...I've been thinking about getting more people for Inventory. Then we would...
[She wouldn't have to be there all the time. She could find someplace else. Someplace safer.]
...we could spread the responsibilities out more. It'd be nice.
