[64th]

[ Cashmere's lounging at home, alone. she's usually pretty content for alone time but it's felt extremely lonely recently. ]

I know a lot of you are like me - where there's no one else from your world here. Just you. It's for the best, honestly. I could be stuck with anyone. But sometimes I miss having people around who really know me. Who understand the things I understand.

So let's get to know each other a little better. What was your family like? Did you have a happy childhood?

[ she pauses, and grins. ] And if give me a really good answer, you can come over and take a nap with me.

Comments

[puzzlingly]

Ah? Aren't all girls princesses to their father's eyes or something? I'm sure I've heard that somewhere.

[64th]

[ she laughs. ] Something like that. My parents loved me but they had high expectations.

[puzzlingly]

What kind?

[64th]

Of all kinds. If I wasn't give my very best and succeeding, they weren't happy.

[puzzlingly]

Sounds rough.

「No different to what he was used to anyway.」

Did you manage to make them happy?

[64th]

[ she nods. ] Yeah. Usually. Eventually.

They got all ever wanted me to be.

[puzzlingly]

Was that something you also wanted?

[64th]

When I was young, yes.

[puzzlingly]

「He tilts his head a little.」

Not anymore?

[64th]

Sometimes when you get what you want, you find out it's not what you expected it to be.

[puzzlingly]

「He has to give a little strained chuckle at that. Isn't that true?」

Yeah, I guess. What about this place? Are you getting what you want in here? Or has it been as disappointing?

[64th]

I think I've accepted that this is where I'm going to be for a long time. It isn't perfect, but I think I'm safe here. And I like being safe. [ which is her way of saying that in a strange way, Hadriel is exactly what she wants. ]

What about you?

[puzzlingly]

「Wait, what? Safe? Here? What kind of safe is she even talking about?」

Let's just say I wish I could say the same.

[64th]

[ ok so maybe her sense of safe is very warped. ]

Well, it's not for everyone. We don't have much of a choice, though.

[puzzlingly]

Not right now, no, 「A bit of a shrug.」 Maybe soon enough.
