I haven't seen the cult before now. But I know that food presented as banquets or parties in this place tends to be unsafe, more often than not.

It was that way when I got here, nearly half a year ago.

a good warning to heed
thank you
i'm sorry you've been here so long

[hylights]

Thank you, but I'm hardly worse off than anyone else. Others have been here much longer.

someone who has been shot in a non-fatal place has still been shot

[hylights]

I... suppose so. Not that I would put it that way.

i'm just saying
even if people have it worse
it doesn't mean your own pain is less in the face of it

That's very kind of you to say, Amara.

[And true. She would tell her friends the same thing, really.]

I hope I get to meet you in person sometime.
