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,

[meitori]

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?

[meitori]

I'm just worried, okay? I'll be in my room if you want to come down.

[He pauses for a moment.]

I'm not going anywhere. I promise.

[sun_droplet]

Fine, but I'm not I'm not in that place anymore. I don't want to be there anymore.

[meitori]

[...]

Are you in your tower then? You can go to my garden if you want, if you want a change of scenery... I'll just be staying here for now.

[sun_droplet]

I DON'T WANT TO! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!

[meitori]

[...]

I'm sorry.

[sun_droplet]

I just want to be alone... forever.

[meitori]

You don't want that. Trust me. I've... I've been there. Sort of.

[sun_droplet]

I do. Everyone's just going to leave me. I'm sick of being hurt. My mother was right.

[meitori]

I don't blame you. From what you've told me... a lot of people have done that.

[Has he?]

[sun_droplet]

Just leave me alone. Forget about me... just like everyone else.

Promises mean nothing.

[meitori]

I won't. I'm not promising, I'm telling you I won't.

So if you need me, I'll be here.

[sun_droplet]

Fine.

[She doesn't believe you. You'll probably just leave too.]
