[she closes her eyes.]

I don't want to hurt anyone else.

[supercatty]

[hesitation]

[and then. . . she finally reaches out, resting her hand against Byleth's arm. but she's still not looking at her!!]

[divineimpulse]

[ah.

she slides her arm out from under catra's and

takes her hand.

so now they're just sitting, holding each other's hands on the log.]

Thank you, Catra.

[supercatty]

[THEY ARE HOLDING HANDS ON THIS LOG. . . Catra's grip is loose, but she sure isn't pulling away]

Um. . .

[another pause. she doesn't really want to talk about the murders anymore, even though she still has so many questions]

Why are you out here, and not back at Summer?

[divineimpulse]

I thought it best if I stay out of people's sight and mind for a little while.

[supercatty]

[immediately--]

That's dumb.

I bet Sally and everyone are worried about you in a super obnoxious and slightly overbearing way.

[divineimpulse]

I try not to bother her too much.

I think she has enough on her plate as it is.

[supercatty]

Sally and everyone.

[NOT JUST SALLY!!!]

[divineimpulse]

I think I'm a bit of a Summer dormitory disappointment.

[supercatty]

[. . . . . . . . .]

[GOSH DOES SHE KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE A DISAPPOINTMENT!!]

. . .

Byleth-- [what does she even say to that??]

[divineimpulse]

[she shakes her head.]

These are just the consequences of my own actions.

If I want them to improve, I have to atone for them.
