Aaranya kept pressing against the lone tree, more for emotional than physical need at this point. She stayed a still silent statue for a moment.

[color=f49ac2]"...I don't know,"[/color] she murmured. [color=f49ac2]"I did everything I was supposed to. I did my best."[/color]

Aaranya gazed off to the horizon. A slice of orange danced with mid-dawn blue. Soon more would rise and roam the roads.

The bedraggled woman lightly pushed off the tree and resumed her original path home. She passed by Danielle with barely a glance. As Aaranya shuffled a few feet past, she kept her eyes straight on the road while speaking to the woman behind.

[color=f49ac2]"I have to go home. If you want to follow, I can't stop you. But be quiet."[/color]
