Friends Only

There was a girl today. A girl I could have helped. But I didn't. She couldn't speak because she was too full of water. And I didn't help her. Louise still won't talk to me. She's here. I know because I can hear when Gavin talks. But she won't say a thing

Perhaps you'll get another chance to help the girl. I'm sure you could find her again.

Is Louise not talking to you since the girl? Or since Amaris...?

It's still so soon after everything... I think it's perfectly understandable that things aren't relaxed yet. Perhaps once you've been there a little longer, things will seem to calm down. Everything's going to be alright here. Maybe now things will seem better there, too. Do you think you'll look for the girl? It might be good to have something to focus on.

[lavannah]

Since you.

I don't want to look for her, she's scary. Her mouth was a waterfall.

I'm sorry that what I did caused Louise to go quiet. Do you think it would help if I talked to her?

Well, you certainly don't have to go looking for her. For now, I think you need only do what you need to make things better.

[lavannah]

No! Leave her alone.

I don't know what I need.

None of us can help everyone all the time, as much as we might want to. You can't spend your time beating yourself up over those who slipped away. Instead, remember all those you have helped, and the gratitude they feel, the peace you've brought. You're a good person, Lavannah. One of the best. I trust that in the end, things with you will be right.

[lavannah]

But maybe it is the end?

A time like this may well prove to be an ending. That doesn't mean there won't be a beginning, though. All our lives have eras. Mine certainly has. I know the changes we go through well.

Mary...why can't I just go away with you?
