[Mikan's been a good patient since her return. Of course, 'good', in this case, meant very quiet. Someone's obviously quite bothered by what happened and what she saw, and doesn't really know how to react yet]

[Meryl didn't believe that at all, but she wasn't about to push it. The two were basically strangers to each-other up until this point.]

You'll feel better if you try not to think about what happened.

[Oh, well, of course, if you get told not to think about something, that's what you do. There went the dam breaking, and have a sobbing 10-year-old clinging to you, Meryl]

[It looks like she hit a nerve. She attempted to hug the girl and calm her down.]

It's all over, okay? You don't ever have to worry about that bad man or that place again.

[Would that just make it worse?]

[It's helping]

I-I don't wanna go back there!

That place is long gone. You're safe, and among friends here. Just worry about getting better, okay?

[She handed Mikan a tissue. She still looked upset, but at least she could get it out of her system now.]

[Mikan took the tissue and blew her nose and dried her eyes]

Th-thanks...
