( Emilia finds her own state of being less important at the moment. She meets every day with the ferocious understanding she'll survive it, no matter how unbearable. There is no other option if she means to accomplish her goals, means to get them out of here.
But Kamala has answered her in earnest, and Emilia wants to do the same, wants her to feel that her voice matters and she has the right to ask questions, too. It's tricky, being just the right amount of honest while keeping the true burden where it belongs:
On her own shoulders. Not a young girl who shouldn't have to fight these wars. )
I'm tired and I feel a little heavy. I'm also worried about you, but I understand I'm far from the only one and that in itself must be overwhelming.
The long day may not be over yet, but it will end, and we're still here. Sometimes I think that is the hardest thing. To dare to dream of better days. To choose to live and flourish despite the bad. But it is one of the most important things we can do in the face of undeath.
( A powerful and life-affirming thing. In that sense, she doesn't worry much about Kamala at all. )
