Well, think.

Do you want Marlene to be traveling with Hiro when she's an NPC and not something I'm going to be doing?

The post was deleted, but you read it; You know I intended for her to be sent towards the capital in awhile, after getting back on her feet. There's no need for you to deal with her; The plan with Marlene is remaining the same, she'll probably be the last to the capital.  She's pretty much a second Perdy now except on friendlier terms with the others.
