[Just a shot of snow, which would be pristine if she hadn't written on it by dragging a stick through, deeply enough to show dead leaves underneath. The words are visible enough, but it's just this one part which is in frame.]

[That's not like, a very familiar list or anything. Nope.]

Fun curse, isn't it? I had it last year.

[Defensive.]

I came back for the last ones. So you know.

[After one of them came after her and guilted her. At length.]

Good. [Not facetious. Honestly, that's a good thing. It's more than he did.] That helps.

I run away from things. People. I have to, all right? Sometimes you can't come back.

[Still defensive. ...she's trying not to feel guilty. Also the words have had more loose snow blown over them.]

[am_i_being_rude]

[Seriously it's almost like he's talking to himself. Not sure how to help with the guilty. He's not gotten rid of that either.]

Well, sometimes it is the best way to handle something. Particularly when they start piling on top of each other.

[azhdarchidae]

It's better like this. [Probably.] Anyway, it's useless to get sick over something you can't change. I don't want to think about it, I don't want to talk about it, it doesn't do me any good.

[am_i_being_rude]

In that case, you might want to brush some more snow over that list.

[azhdarchidae]

[She would, but right now has a stubborn reluctance to appear as if she does what people say.]

The important stuff's covered.

[am_i_being_rude]

That's not the important stuff?

[azhdarchidae]

It's important enough, but it's already out, it's recorded, there's not much point in pretending it's not. The rest is gone.
