'Then I decide. You all know my thoughts on the matter.']
No, [Delight counters, her voice wavering slightly. Arguing with Sorrow is always a little intimidating.] We all decide together. Tranquility doesn't want to go, and everyone else here is keeping something in place- everyone except for me.
[There's a brief silence. When Delight speaks again, her voice is hardened, resolute.]
I'm volunteering to go. They picked me. Send me alone or-

It's funny, she thinks, how everyone talks about how terrible the gods are. How terrible it is to be here. And yet, for Rose, they've been kinder and better for her than almost anyone in this cave yet. They've made her feel important and like she's doing something good, which is a purpose she's happy to work for. ]
Okay, I can definitely do that. I'll try to keep the others in high spirits too!
