*Marin found herself in the woods. It was misty and eerie, all she wanted to do was get out. However, as she was walking through, she began to hear sniffling. Coming closer she found her*
*Scarlet sat there, holding something bloody and mangled like it was a stuffed toy. She was pawing at the dirt, patting it as if checking how deep she was digging. Her clothes were torn and Cedar's mask was far from her, the wood surrounding the eyes cracked.*
*then Marin stepped on a twig*
*Scarlet turned to look, and Marin couldn't help but gasp. Where she remembered seeing pink eyes were replaced by pools of golden light. The same cracks on the mask surrounded her eyes, yet were made of light, as well as all of her scars she ever had, and her larger veins were glowing gold. Her face was plain other than the tears of pure light that gently fell down her face. She just kept staring, her long ears flicking around*

Marin was… surprised, to say the least.
“I— Scarlet? Scarlet, are… what happened?”
*she perked up a little when she heard Marin, then looked at the bundle in her arms. It looked to be a gross resemblance of a young child, quite possibly Song's age*
…what’s the bundle.?
*Scarlet looked... In her general direction, then very slowly signed with one hand*
*'C-H-I-L-D'*
Child…? Where did you find them? Are they ok?
*she simply shakes her head*
They’re… not ok?
(She sat down by the child.)
Whatvhapppened?
*she looks down numbly, then points to herself and mimes smashing a rock down on what used to be the child's head*
(She stared.)
Who… who did this-?
*Scarlet went still before very slowly pointing to herself, then going back to pawing at the dirt, looking both frustrated and guilty*
Why? Why did you… You have to be lying.
(She wasn’t about to believe this. Jt had to be a tall tale.)
.... *"He told me to"*
Who did?
*'R-I-B-B-O-N'*
*she keeps digging*
Ribbon? Is that it? Surely you’re… huh?
*Scarlet's ear flicks as she keeps digging, cradling the child close as if they were sobbing*
