What will you need?

["I'm sorry" isn't enough. He isn't even sure she'll reply; it's more than possible she will decide he didn't try hard enough to save her.]

[diarists]

[she wants to bare teeth, wants to snap back, wants to ignore it, but -- the wilderness was a death she knew, the shape of it's teeth comfortable around her throat. she knew what would kill her, if it came out there.

here -- she doesn't know. the rules are different. the game's changed. it doesn't have any power here, and it's darling, it's daughter, shauna shipman, doesn't either.

so:]

i'm so scared

[mygoodsir]

I know, my dear. But we will look after you as best we can.

[diarists]

saber died in there. we woke up saturday and he was dead.
you can't stop that, if it happens.

[mygoodsir]

We've no reason to think that will happen again.

[diarists]

but we don't know.
YOU don't know.

[mygoodsir]

No. I don't.

[diarists]

do you think i did it?

[mygoodsir]

I don't think you killed Natalie, no. I can't make sense of the idea at all. You girls are a team.

[diarists]

[it's not a no, but -- harry's confirmed the important part.]

it wasn't nat.
it wouldn't matter as much if she'd said someone else, but
not nat.

[mygoodsir]

I don't think we've enough evidence that you killed anyone, really. You've the capability, and Misty's actions made you all look guilty, but it's not as if we found you covered in blood.

And I understand. It would be like if they accused me of killing Tim.

[diarists]

it's more that
they think it was her. that i'd hurt her.

yeah. it's like that.

[mygoodsir]

I know in my heart that you would not do that.

Shauna, I promise you I will do all I can to see justice served.

[diarists]

some people think it's already been served.

but it won't be, not until whoever killed nat's answered for what they did.

[mygoodsir]

Endure, my dear.
