The woman sitting in the rather small guestroom had brown, curling hair, and light blue eyes that had not even the slightest sign of happiness or whatsoever in them. Her dress, a lilac coloured one, was obviously worn and secondhand. Her skin had unhealthy pale colour due to the lack of sunlight, which she could only see at a short moment of the day, when the sun was in such a position in the sky that it managed to shine through the window. Watching as her sister wrote something down, she read the words quietly. She nodded simply as she watched her sister leave and let out a soft, sad sigh. She had never known any better than this loneliness, but at some days, it was terrible and depressing, or felt like it could drive her crazy. Especially after hearing all the stories Ada had to tell, about things that happened outside of Ariana's room, outside of these four walls and this room that was the only part of the world she had ever seen during her entire life. She stared out of the window, wondering what it would be like out there, in the world that was always wide open, rather than her always closed room, but looked away when those thoughts only saddened her, once the realisation hit her once again that she would never find out. She always enjoyed Ada's visits, she was the only company Ariana had, her only contact with the world. If it wasn't for her, Ariana would never be able to see someone, to talk to someone, to actually do something other than effortlessly trying to fill up her lonely days. Her other siblings never visited, but that was because they didn't know. Both Katherine and Helena were not even a little bit aware of Ariana's existence. Ariana didn't know anything better than this life, a life of silence and loneliness. It was the only life she had ever known, and sure she was curious about what the world was like, what it was like to hear things, to not live a life merely existing out of rotting away in a room. And sometimes, Ada would tell her about the outside world, other people and whatnot, which always interested Ariana. And though she was used to this life, it at some days just made her feel miserable. Today was one of these days. Staring out of the window again, Ariana just couldn't help but feeling sad. She wasn't even sure why or how she felt sad over things she hardly knew anything about, but still, she just did sometimes.
