[Everything goes white, almost blindingly, as you enter Eveningstar's heart.... it's so overwhelming that you forget, for a moment, what you're doing, why you're here, and details about yourself start to slip---]

[but then it all stops, abruptly, and your senses return to you]

[oh no hugs!!

she smiles, though she tenses a bit]

[acemedium]

[she pulls back a bit, her expression pained but genuine]

You're... Lace, right? From Dawon.

[bloodbiter]

[she nods]

I'm sorry I was so angry. Ah, about the potato.

[acemedium]

[she shakes her head]

No.... it's nothing, really.

Did you really come all the way here for me....?

[bloodbiter]

We wanted to help you.

[acemedium]

[she breaks out into a warm, grateful smile]

Thank you.

[bloodbiter]

Of course.

I apologize if we, ah, intruded anywhere you did not want us to.

[acemedium]

No.... you don't have to apologize. I'm sorry that I caused you so much trouble.

[bloodbiter]

[shakes her head]

It was hardly a trouble. Besides, we are healed now.

[acemedium]

[speaking of which, is she bleeding? Yes, yes she is]

It's the least I could do.

[bloodbiter]

[gasps when she notices]

But we have to get you out of here! We can find someone to tend to your wounds.

[acemedium]

It's okay... I'll be fine. All of you are here with me, after all.

[bloodbiter]

And once we leave and get you help, we will be with you once still. Now come.

[acemedium]

I want to talk a little more, if that's okay.

[She seems pretty content, despite the obvious pain that she's in]

[bloodbiter]

If you're certain... What would you like to speak about?

[acemedium]

I want to know more about you.

Is that okay?

[bloodbiter]

Of course. What would you like to know?

[acemedium]

We're friends, right? Tell me about you.

[bloodbiter]

I'm not certain where to start. As you said, my name is Lace, and I am from Dawon. I have been here for around a month now. Mm, from my memories, I know that... I have a sister whom I care for very much.

[acemedium]

... Me, too. But mine is gone now.

[bloodbiter]

[pauses]

Mine... may be. And like you, one of my parents has died and one is hardly there. So, do not feel as though you are alone. I believe I know how you feel.

[acemedium]

Mine have both been gone for as long as I remember. My sister left a long time ago.... and then she was murdered. At home... I don't have anyone else.

[....]

Is it like that for you, too?

[bloodbiter]

My mother died when I was a toddler, and my father... is not around. My sister and I are close, though.

But for me... There may be a chance she pulls through. I'm so sorry you don't have that hope, even if it's small.

[acemedium]

What's wrong with her?

I... I don't want to be alone...

[bloodbiter]

Mm, she's sick. With the same illness that took my mother.

You aren't alone. We are all here for you, and... Even if it's not the same, I think I know how you feel.
