So it's... i-it's all over. Everything is.

But is it really... better now?

I still hear people SCREAMING. Are they just in my Hell? In my head?

Or are they r-really out there?

...

It's quieter now. I think I like it w-when it's quieter.

Then I can think. Think. How I want.

Yet... for some reason, I'm n-not sure what I want to think... now that I can.

Yes, it is.

...? Chrona... [A pause] A lot of new people are being brought to this city. They're lost and confused, just like I used to be. I... don't know if that is what you hear, but I'm here if it scares you. Don't worry.

Why don't you think about something that makes you happy? That's what I like to do when its quiet, or I try to help or practice my sewing a little more. Though I'm still not very good at all...

You... miss me? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be away for so long. But... I'm home now. Soren came back and escorted me to Latimir from Gohl. I can come and see you anytime, if you like.

[timid_dementia]

New... people? So now there are even m-more...

Ah... I d-don't like that...

...

It w-would make me happy if... if you came over...

I wouldn't h-have to listen to the screaming.

I'm afraid so. The scientists must have decided to bring them here...

Does that worry you?

If that's all it would take to make you happy, then I'd be glad to come over, Chrona. After all, no one should feel like they have to be left alone and unhappy. Especially not you.

The... screaming?

[timid_dementia]

It... does. Lots of p-people... scare me... especially when they're a-all together at the same time.

The screaming in my head. It's always-- always there--

But you make it quiet. It's better. All better when you're there.

[onceahuman]

I think anything's better than how things were before...

[timid_dementia]

... y... yes.

I c-can't imagine it being... much worse...

[onceahuman]

I don't want to, either.
