...She's been abandoned for so long that it's easier too disconnect than reconnect. She get so angry, feels so betrayed by even the slightest things...
[He's rubbing his temples. He has to calm down some. He holds onto the music still.]
It's not about whether someone loves her, it's about how she's practically looking for a reason not to trust people anymore.
The candles on the model of the cake flicker, very much alive and active. As soon as you touch the model, you receive a memory. As the memory progresses, you keep waiting for the other shoe to drop… But when it does, that doesn’t stop it from hurting. You’re so ashamed and embarrassed and angry that it’s hard to speak.]
[As you make your way to the back of the closet, you see a hand mirror laying on the ground. It gives off a slight gleam.
Just standing it near it makes you feel hopeful. There’s a place where everyone can see if you choose to let yourself be seen, a place where people care about you and value you. Even the people who you feel have disappointed you or betrayed you are doing their best, and you know this. They’ve helped show you that not everyone will leave you behind.]
[As you take hold of the mirror, its light shines towards the wall. Gradually, you can make out what looks to be a door. You feel very strongly that you should take the mirror with you should you choose to enter.
Will you go through, or will you explore the room more?]

Yeah, well, you don't gotta go saying that out loud. We get it.
no subject
Basically. I don't think we all need to play show and tell with the things we've seen here. We should just find a way to move on.
no subject
Jeez.
[Well, looks like they've at least gotten through the other objects, let's dig into the closet again - there was something back there, right?]

Not a good time for introductions, but in case we need it... Coyote.
[ But that welcoming mirror seems like a good place to pick it up. Maybe this is what we need to move on? ]
no subject
But... we can't just ignore this shit, either. Ignoring it isn't gonna do her any good.

We can ignore it for now. It's up to her if she wants anyone bringing it up - how'd you feel if all your feelings were out on display like this?
Should we keep going? [gestures to the door]
no subject
[A weary sigh.]
Not gonna fight over it, though, let's keep moving.
[IF COYOTE HAS THE MIRROR, he's heading for the door. He's also keeping the music sheets - they seem at least a Little Important.]

I've had plenty out for display that I'd rather not have been put up there, so I'm not about to drag her dirty laundry out, either.
