Hecate@Karma: Hecate approaches with a sack dragging behind her, carried in her mouth, the young pup seemed to be bringing her a gift! "Hey pretty lady... please don't cry I brought you some pretty stuff to make you feel better!" She empties the sack revealing colorfully polished river rocks and other such knickknacks a toddler might find interesting.... an attempt was made.
Karma: Oh, thanks so much! These’re all so beautiful.
Karma: Are you from around here, dear? Why’re you out here by yourself?
Karma: Haha, she sleeps so deeply, you’d think she’s a log, huh?
Naana: She is quite rambunctious though, she reminds me of you when you were small. Such a feisty thing...I have a feeling she takes after her mother, like you do.
Karma: .....It It feels like it’s been forever since we’ve been able to talk, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to talk to you again. Being stuck in that forest, I was tempted a few times but...I didn’t want to let anything bad through accidentally, especially with so much negativity. I had to get out of there, and I had to take Doll with me. He still hasn’t woken up but, he seems to be doing alright...
Naana: It’s quite alright, I can understand. I’ve been able to watch from afar for the most part, but staying for very long would’ve taken a lot of energy. You’ve done well to have stayed this long. I know it was very difficult for you, and I’m very proud of you.
Karma: Haha...thank you...
Naana: ........................Kanha, I know you are struggling with your thoughts and feelings, but I must ask you once more of your task........
Karma: ..............Naana, I can’t go back there again. It’s hard enough just to be there as is, don’t even get me started on him. There’s just....so much, I don’t know if i can handle something like this?
Naana: I understand, I know full well that he is the last person you want to concern yourself with, but I’m afraid you are both involved in something much, much bigger than yourselves. I hate to ask so much from you but.........
Karma: ....................
Naana: .................I am sorry, my dearest child, but you must go back. You know what is at stake if you don’t.
Karma: ....................
Karma: ..............If i had listened to you in the first place, none of this mess would’ve happened, I’m sure of it. It’s been my fault from the very beginning...
Naana: You know this isn’t true--
Karma: Naana, you died because of me. I can never forgive myself for that, ever. I couldn’t even stay home because of it.
