It's curious. Every time you do this, you get a little better at pre-empting her initial pushback, the way she tries to shrug you off, and after a few loops of the same thing, it's not... exactly a sense of deja vu that's occurring here, but something more akin to feeling her defenses start to wane a little more each time, like her gut tells her to wait for someone here... even if she has no idea who it is.

Eventually there comes a loop where she's playing and you just start playing with her, and there's no words or contact- it just happens. And at the end of it, she breathes in, unsteady and says:

"It's the weirdest feeling.

It's like I know you'd be here. I don't know how I knew that, and I don't even know who you are.

But you remind me of my sister, Irene."

This is weird for her, to be so open and honest.

"I don't really tell anyone much about her, but she sent me off to school here when I was young. Lyrabar was going to hell and she wanted to keep me safe."

She shakes her head, though, and continues playing.

And in the end, she realizes how much she loves Irene and wants to her again one day.
