They all left. All of them. They're gone. Mother was right.

[Right now Rapunzel isn't home. Well, the home that they gave her here. She was in her tower, in her room, on her bed. Not that that can be seen. Her PORTAL wasn't anywhere near her. It lied there, forgotten on the floor. Forgotten by her, but not Pascal. He sat beside it,

Rapunzel? You're still here?!

[Yes, he is utterly relieved.]

I thought you were gone too. So many people had left.

[...]

Are you okay?

[sun_droplet]

I am... Just leave me alone.

[meitori]

A-Are you sure?

[He pauses, whispers of worry and thinking echoing.]

Do you want to come over for tea sometime? Not now, but in a day or two?

[sun_droplet]

YES! Just leave me alone, alright?

[redhotsummers]

'punzel.

You can't--you can't think like that.

[It's how he's felt about himself for years. He can't see her getting like that, now.]

[sun_droplet]

Why shouldn't I?

[redhotsummers]

Because I did--and look what I turned into.

You don't want to end up like me, do you?

[You know, a jerk.]

[sun_droplet]

I've already grown up on my own. I've only had Pascal and my mother. I can handle it here.

[kuma_killer]

Oh hey, you're still here! I thought you might've disappeared too.

[sun_droplet]

Yeah... Of course I am.

[kuma_killer]

That's good. I was thinking everyone I'd met had just up and disappeared.

[sun_droplet]

They did. Everyone's gone. Breaking all their promises.

This place has taken everything dear to us.

But you can not let them win.

[sun_droplet]

And how is that different from anywhere else?

[godofpancakes]

It is different in my world.

You can not give up hope, young one.

[sun_droplet]

I shouldn't even have hope in the first place. Mother told me not to get close to anyone...

[screamsup]

What?

[No way. He's never seen her so upset -- it wasn't right. He's used to her being the one who's happy.]

But I'm still here. There're still a lot of people here. You can't give up like that.

[sun_droplet]

Yeah, only to leave me too. Why should I even trust you anymore?

[screamsup]

'Cause I've always been around for you. You're my friend.

[sun_droplet]

And you'll just leave too! Everyone is just going to leave me, because they have better things to do. I've never been important enough to stay. Everyone will just always betray me and leave me.
