[ What a strange thought; even White Rum had flippantly accused her of harboring a darkness no one could ignore. But here, a priest was telling her she could be good, even with this hunger]
You speak with such certainty.
[She hangs onto that hand]
I wanted to be good for so long. But every person since I got sealed only wanted me to kill or ruin lives of good people.
You're not the first I have encountered with "hunger".
[And she won't be the last. Hansa offers a gentle squeeze of her fingers.]
Just because you were surrounded by awful people doesn't mean you're the same. A diamond still shines when it has been thrown in the trash. You just need to find a place that accepts you for who you are.
I had a place once. It was beautiful, even in the endless rain. I loved everyone there. But they're gone now. Every single person I loved. [Hunger had come back with a vengeance then, until she could think of nothing but.] It feels easier to just run away to a place where no one can find me. I don't want to start again.
