It's a lot better now. You all believed in me and forgave me and cared about me when I needed it the most, and that was what I feared I'd lost. But... there's still some problems I'm going to have to deal with, with my own two fists.
[ and as such, there's still plenty of light in this room--a comfortable level. with a feeling of ... potential. ]
But as long as I keep all that in heart--the belief that you all had in me here, and my own strength.... Well, winter's not forever, and someday, it's going to be spring again. I just have to keep working hard until then, making lots of light and melting out the snow.
[ at this moment, natalie's cat is going to come walking in from a cat door to the left. it comes over and leaps on top of the table, as though it was meant to be there--but some things have changed about it. aside from the change in attitude, gone is the indecisively teal collar: she now sports a brand new collar, magenta in color, and new tags. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ]
[she's listening so intently that she doesn't notice the cat initially, not until it jumps onto the table. she leans over to read the collar, smiling despite herself]
I think you're more than capable of making enough light to melt any snow that comes up. I wasn't kidding, what I said a while ago... You really are one of the kindest people I've met.
I'm really glad I met you, Natalie. And I'm glad that Nightingale has such a fierce person in her life to help look after her and show her the love she's missed.
I'm not the best at talking about stuff like this now, let alone when you wake up, but... I'll try not to be too distant anymore. It's just - not easy for me.

Is there anything else you want to ask me or tell me or anything?

You say that like you two are the lucky ones.

I think that's about it as far as things I wanted to say goes, though.
