Yes, as long as I can remember it, I can choose to project it.
So it seems. Rotti introduced her to me just last week...Nathan had told me that she'd died with Marni, but he's been hiding her away this entire time. I never knew.
....I don't have anything under control. I don't know what to do about any of this.
I hope you don't mind that I think that's a more than a little freaky, there. Kinda neat, but pretty freaky all the same.
That's messed up. Why would he lie to you about something like that?
Alright. Okay. That's alright. You've just gotta figure things out. I'll help in any way that I can, you know that. Let's just get down to the basics. What is there that you're worried about?
It's fine. You're not the only one to find it strange.
I don't know. Mello says he thinks he was trying to protect her from the outside world, so that's why she was hidden away.
I'm worried because I don't want to leave her here with Nathan treating her like a captive and Rotti probably trying to use her. But I've already told him I'm leaving, and I don't know if I can take her with me.
Mag, only crazy people do something like that. I mean, yeah, your world is a lot darker than most, especially for children, but. I mean, you're her godmother. Why would he keep her a secret from even you?
Oh. Well... Could you at least ask her? If she wanted to come along, that is. Because, I mean. I don't condone people stealing kids away from their parents, but from what I can see, the situation that she's in isn't really all that healthy.
Maybe she'll say no. But maybe she'll say yes. It'd be her life, her choice, like it should be. She's, what, seventeen, then? She's got to understand that things are less than perfect on that world. Even if it's going to be one of the hardest choices she'll have to make in her life, seventeen is old enough to make these kinds of big decisions, if she's mature enough to do so. She seemed to be, from that video that posted. You've just gotta stress the facts to her, especially the pros of leaving and the cons of staying, yeah?
I'll do the best I can. I want her to come with me, or at least do something to get out of that house and away from Rotti and her father. But it's still asking her to abandon her entire life. Hopefully she'll decide to anyway, but its not something easy to ask of anyone.
Of course it's not easy. From what I can tell, nothing is easy over there for any of you guys. But you should at least help her to see the whole truth, and then support her in any decision she makes from there, right?
I hope that her showing up won't make you think twice about moving, Mag. I know that things just got really complicated for you over there, and I'd understand if it did, but. It's really not a healthy situation you've got going on. I'm understanding that more and more, now.
...I can't help but rethink it over. I want to go, God knows I can't stay here any longer, and even if I asked for Rotti to take me back I'd still hate it. But I don't want to abandon her here, especially when it seems like no one is looking out for her properly.
It's your own life, Mag, and I respect that, but really. If it comes down to a question of your safety versus her safety, there should be no question. There's no way you can help her if you still have to be looking out for yourself. Even if she doesn't decide to come with you, you can still keep an eye on her from here, can't you? Show her that this place's got more good points and all that?
I can try. If there's a way to keep in touch with her from your world, then that's what I'll do. If I can still call her and be there for her in some way, it'd be a load off my mind.

Mag. What's going on over there? Just. Tell me that you've got things under control?
