Rebecca can't even begin to wrap her around all that. And here Fiona sees it, all in one go? And some of the stuff was ridiculous. Breaking Clyde's heart, for one thing. Others...they had already happened.

She doubted her father would ever listen. She didn't want to think about betraying Paradigm, which was great to hear with Aaron right next to them. Real nice. Right along with the terrorists bits, though those could be anyone at any point in time.

"What's that?"

She stares in disbelief.

"That is the one constant out of my entire life?"

She busts out laughing.

"Constant."

She nods.

"Fair enough." She runs one hand through her hair, the other one letting the dust of her letter fall free.

"At least I can always count on that." At least, until she got her power under control, whenever that might be.

Aaron was still there but was busying himself with reading his letter.

Considering going. He felt awkward being the third wheel in this whole thing.

...Actually, not entirely true. When he heard something about betraying Paradigm, he'd looked up, and now he was watching them intently. Sure, he didn't want to interrupt, but he couldn't help being curious. Fiona had accurately predicted "tragedy" after all.

She smiled before shivering. Bending backward to look at Aaron.

"You're upset still."

She pouted. The letter didn't work.

"It'll just take some time."

It didn't not work, but he couldn't flip a switch and not be upset any more. He wasn't Fiona. "At least I got my thoughts down, though."

She'd let herself fall fully backward so she was laying on the grass. Extending her hand upward she'd stare at her hand.

Happy to turn the focus of the conversation away from herself, Rebecca looks over at Aaron when Fiona does, letting him speak for himself.

"It usually does."

"Ever wonder how you will die?"

She asked, her fingers slowly wiggling in front of the sun.

"Not really." She reaches her arms upward, sighing as she forces out some of the stiffness. "Well, maybe. I used to."

There's a difference between her own vague admission and Fiona's words, which say outright what Rebecca doesn't. She frowns, but nods as she looks at the other girl.

"Thanks, Fiona." This was awkward. It was nice to hear her say, but she wished they were alone for it. At least Aaron was quiet. "I...yeah. Thanks. I'd like to move away from my secrets now."

"I came to Paradigm for a reason besides helping people."

She shrugged and curled her legs up closer to her body.

"Now my family is free of my burden."

There's a lot she could say to that, but doesn't. Not right away.

"Are you happy here, at least?"

Fair enough. Rebecca would have to reword her question.

"Then have the experiences you've had here and the people you've met made being here worth it?"

Might as well keep sticking her foot in her mouth at this rate. Rebecca shrugs.

"I don't know you, Fiona. I don't know what your opinion of anything you've experienced here is. Some people think it's worthwhile, some don't. Some leave, some stay." Some die, and some live.
