[ she lifts her chin at that. ]

Then... you can be free from her?

I think, if I'm clever in how I make the wish, I might be able to be.

[it shouldn't be hard at all, she's just nervous to do it.]

Gale is helping me think of how to do it.

Oh...!

That's wonderful news. It's been terrible, hasn't it? But now your life can be all your own.

I hope so.

[I don't want to disappoint all of you. I don't know if I'm strong enough to do this.]

Are you still deciding whether to approach your partner?

[sootprints]

I approached the person who I think must be my partner... but they weren't ready to confirm. They asked me to wait until Friday for their decision.

I see. Well - that's rather thoughtful of them, perhaps.

[sure sounds like a death flag to me.]

I want you to know that upon partnering with someone, you obtain a secondary power. Ours is quite useful. We can learn what happens in a particular location on Thursday night.

Oh...! That sounds very useful, especially when we keep having cases overlap.

I think we did a good job of separating them each time, but it takes a lot of time and work.

Yes. I hope we'll be able to help a little. If we find anything, I'll tell you.

[sootprints]

Thank you. And I will tell you if I end up matching with my partner.

Please do. I do hope you're able to get your wish, too.
