... Yes, I think it would be strange to bring a child along for that task.
[ she thinks about that question... ]
Famine is the only person I've talked to about this. They say they'll try to help, and I believe them.
However, they've also been upfront about the fact that, as overseer, they have to advise others to look for the "unknown threat." So right now... they're working both with and against me. I appreciate that they don't bother with deception, at least.
... If I had to tell anyone, it would be Laudna. I think she's the one person who would understand.
It makes sense. Their hands are tied. [A beat.] And Laudna, yeah. She's a good person. I think...I don't know if anyone can ever say for sure that someone can be trusted, but she's been through enough that she might be more understanding.
Just don't rush into it. And don't make a drastic move while you're feeling desperate. I let the panic get to me on Saturday. We might be in a shitty situation, but we're not out of options. Where there's a will, there's a way.

[So what to do?]
...Is there anyone you would trust to help you?

[It would be nice if she could buy that herself.]

I'll ask the overseers for help... Maybe they can lock me in one of those coffins overnight. Nobody stays at the mortuary on Thursdays.
And Alfyn... maybe he can make a potent sleeping medicine, and then we won't be a threat to anyone.
