-The voice on the other end is... tired. Weak from fasting. But probably from spending days upon days crying in her room as well. No one is keeping score.-

If my miracle powers were working... I could solve this famine. Why won't they work? Why can't I do any good here?

... I really am just taking up space, aren't I? A waste of everyone's time...

So rest and regroup. What are your options if you give up?

[hihou]

I just want to die.

[reverentresistance]

D-don't do that.

[hihou]

Why not?

[reverentresistance]

Because you matter.

[hihou]

Do I really?

[reverentresistance]

Of course.

You don't need to be able to save everyone for that to be the case. It's...more than enough that you'd be willing to try. That's all that can be asked of us, and you're clearly a good person.

[hihou]

... Somehow that doesn't make me feel any better.

[reverentresistance]

I'm sorry.

Is there anything I can do that would?

[hihou]

I'm sorry... but I don't think there is. Not right now.

[reverentresistance]

If you can think of anything, I'll be here.
