The thing that struck me about Kate, as soon as I met her, is that she's... like me. She's frightened. She doesn't want to be seen as a monster, or hunted down.
She wanted you to wait and find another way for Camille.
[which. in retrospect. must have been a horrible conversation.]
If she must die, then she must die. But let's see.
I was always looking for another way. We made plans together....
[ but it was herself she was talking about. god ]
The revival stopped Camille's current affliction. But there's... nothing to say she won't get possessed again. Or killed. But Famine also doesn't know what would happen if--- Kate survived until the end of this, and went home still afflicted.
[ this is something that has been on yuffie's mind a lot, and that permeates through emoshare ]
I trust you. And I care for you. And I'm going to protect you, just as you would protect me. I promise that much. [she really doesn't mean this in any sense that yuffie isn't capable, just. she can be a bit cowardly sometimes, but not for the people she really loves.]
[ it is really a testament to how much she loves and trusts laudna and also bla bla sad feelings that she does not take any amount of offense to this ]
I know, Laudna.
[ she knows what laudna's trying to say..... sniffs a bit ]
[ there is gratitude for the trust, since yuffie won't explain all the reasons ]
He won't do anything rash. He might have some ideas for what to do. And.... you know I'm on board for doing what the person who is actually afflicted wants to do.

...Yes. There are a few options. But let's not be hasty. And whatever has to happen, it doesn't need to be your doing.
no subject
This is like... the worst possible outcome, Laudna. And she's been --- we've been letting her--- damn it!
no subject
It's a very bad outcome. And I feel very foolish for not seeing it.
no subject
So do I. Of course.... no one would go into her room to throw glitter on her.....
Shit. Shit, shit.
[ taking some deep breaths ]
We can't.... we gotta figure this out. What would she want?

Anyway -- look. Neither you or her will ever be monsters to me. Just know that. Mmkay?

I know, Laudna.
[ she knows what laudna's trying to say..... sniffs a bit ]
I couldn't have made it this far without you.
no subject
[she's not a particularly strong or brave person, but it's easier to try when she knows there are brave people who care what happens to her.]
no subject
I'm gonna talk to Kate and Lavi. Aside from that.... I don't think we should tell anyone else until we've figured out what to do. And even then....
[ there's like one person she'd trust with this information and it's gale ]
no subject
[she's nervous, but... there's trust there, too.]
I trust Lavi. I don't want to put him in a terrible position, but I trust him.
no subject

He won't do anything rash. He might have some ideas for what to do. And.... you know I'm on board for doing what the person who is actually afflicted wants to do.
[ since they've talked about this ]
no subject
[she didn't want to risk making a mistake here, but she overall thinks very highly of lavi.]
Poor thing. I know how badly he wanted answers. I don't think they'll improve matters for him.
no subject
It didn't make me feel better. But... I think it helps, a little, knowing.Just... in terms of not obsessing over and over again something missed.
[ she speaks from experience ]
So after we talk to Kate and find out what she wants... let's try to make a plan. Okay?
