Last Video. UN: ilikehorses
... I am back in town.
[It had been longer than she planned, really. She had a lot of things to think about — after all the harm she'd done, even if it wasn't her will to do it... It left a lot of room for uncertainty. Fear and panic for those she cared about. Part of her wondered if it would just be better, to stay out there like some little hermit child. It left room to think, though, about her time here. She's so much different, isn't she? Not in blinding ways. But she would like to hope that she's... improved. Became something bigger and better than the girl in the small cell, back in Mexico City.]
I'm back in school, too. People like Strange would be upset if I played 'hooky' anymore, even with them gone. I will — keep trying. To live like a person, to be someone. I think it is important to the people before me. It does not change what has happened... any of it. But it is making something for later, I think. That is what I've settled for, in my head.
To be better. And to not be what I was made for; I want to... think about things I can be... when I am older.
[She fidgets with the old, raggedy strap of her backpack, considerate. There's no limit of hesitancy to her voice, but even so—]
Is there something... You think changed for you? As a person?
After staying here.
Is there something you would still like to change?
... Maybe we can work on things together.
[She hopes, in the end, that it'll be enough to make her father proud of her.]

[ How is he an adult again? But having plans he can look forward to instead of sinking into such foreboding feeling is a much better plan. ]

[There's no reason to be an adult, friend; let's enjoy ourselves.]

[ No one would let him near any of those but that never stopped him before. ]
We can pet every animal we see! Make it a life goal!
[ DON'T DRAG HER INTO YOUR DANGEROUS MISSION?! ]
no subject
I would like petting a lion.
[YOU'RE GONNA GET US KICKED OUT BUT C'EST LA VIE.
So it goes, they're gonna pet dangerous animals for fun; friendships are being forged this day.]

[ Okay that might be taking it too far, but he'd do anything to make her happy. He's that sort of fool already getting attached to people.
Now let's hope it doesn't literally bite him back. ]
