[Rapunzel had spent the last few days trying her hardest to remember who she was, where she had come from, and why she was here - or even...where she was.

But now...

Now she remembered.

And she wished that she didn't.]

I....I remember. I remember everything.

[That's all she says and then the book is slammed shut. She's out in the orchard, sitting under

[You know, the quickest way to repel Logan is to cry. He'll turn tail and get the hell out of dodge the minute he hears it. But damn she sounds so young and before he can stop himself, he's heading over to her.]

Hey, hey. Stop that.

[70ftandcounting]

[She doesn't mean to be sobbing :( She can't help it - she died a horrible, painful death after terrifying hallucinations and it was all alone.]

I...I'm s-sorry...

[She sniffs, and looks up, eyes red rimmed and wide.]

[knife_envy]

[At first, Logan looks everywhere but at her. He should leave. She's stopped crying. But when he does look at her, he sighs a little. He's going to regret this isn't he?]

It's okay, Kid. Stop crying.

[She's still sniffling, but the waterworks have mostly stopped.

...In surprise, really - because who is this person.]

I can't...help it.

[She DIED Logan, God.]

[knife_envy]

[Look, Logan doesn't know what to do with a hysterical teenager. Calm it down, Rapunzel. To help with this, Logan decides to change the subject.]

You got a name?

[70ftandcounting]

[She's trying, if only because you are...kind of scary.]

It's...it's Rapunzel. [She stared up at him with watery but curious eyes.]

What's yours?

[knife_envy]

Logan.

[Don't be afraid of the scary man. It's not like he has claws...oh wait.]

Where you from, Rapunzel?

[He'll just sit down here with her and hopefully he'll be a little less intimidating if he's on the same level as her.]

[70ftandcounting]

[Well, that's at least a little better. He's not towering over her anymore.]

I'm...[What do she doesn't even really know what her home is called.]

I live in the forest. Away from anything. It's...it's pretty.

[And she misses it and her mother and her eyes well up again because now she's thinking about her mother and Flynn and everything back home.]

[knife_envy]

[No. Nooooo. This is the opposite of what Logan was going for.]

Hey, don't start crying again.

[70ftandcounting]

I'm sorry.

[She swallows - she can do this. She doesn't have to keep falling to pieces like this.]

It's just...I...I died. And I keep...I keep thinking about it.
