We Tried (afterparty)

[outsidethecircle]

[A couple hours after the trial there may be a note slipped under your bedroom door reading simply in very formal handwriting (actually it's very amazingly neat for someone of her age you might think it's the other Anna)--

I made sandwiches. They're in the lounge if you want them.

-Anna

Anna herself will be found in the study after seeing everyone has enough sandwiches. Where she very sulkily is drawing a boat.]

I've seen a lot of nasty things. But nothing as heartless as that.

[That was a whole new level, so... so horrid... whoever would do that to another person might not be redeemable.]

I don't know what to think of the ghosts that live here. But whoever was responsible for what happened to her... may not be someone we ever want to meet.

[ She nods, wrapping her arms around herself. ]

How could they be so cruel...? I don't think Mulan meant any of us harm, but... they didn't care.

[ Her arms tighten around herself. ]

I don't like this at all, Sophie.

my love extends beyond the grave

[heartofold]

They couldn't care less.

[It's harsh, but... it's the only truth she's confidant in right now.]

That's why we need to take care of each other. Our hosts might not care, but we have each other. There might not be much we can do, but... if you need anything, you can come to us. Okay? You don't have to face this alone.

... I know.

[ It's not confrontational, just... resigned. ]

Sophie... You're all so kind. I...

[ She's not sure she deserves that. ]
