Action:

[No no no no no no. No. That's not her mom. That's not her mom, and this isn't the airport, and it's another nightmare, it has to be. What else could it be? It's a dream and it's not her dream and that means she's trapped.]

[Anybody in New Bark will likely catch the sight of a little girl slowly backing away from the house she'd woken up in with wide eyes before breaking into a run and coming to a stop next to some trees to dig through her backpack. Except it's not her own backpack. And the things inside aren't what she wants or needs them to be.]

[Which is a big stressor to a kid who has no idea what to do.]


Audio, later:

Hello? Mr- Parkman? I didn't do anything, I promise.

[Spoken with the urgency of children who want to prove themselves innocent everywhere.]

Please let me out.

_{[... huh]}

... I guess.

I don't know, boys are weird.

[sincereheart]

Boys are weird. [ Giggle. ] But you've got to fall in love with someone, right?

[ What do you mean that's not everyone's ultimate life goal. ]

[video]

[walkersystem]

Well ... sure.

_{[She'll concede, for now???]}

Are you in love with someone?

[video]

[sincereheart]

Not yet! That's why I want to meet the right person! And maybe I'll meet them here!

[ A pause while she considers. ]

I do know a bunch of boys back home who are in love with me, though! Do you have anyone you like, Molly-chan?

[ THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ASCERTAIN RIGHT NOW CLEARLY ]

[video]

[walkersystem]

No ... not really. A boy tried to kiss me in school, though.

_{[Which hadn't been that bad, but she'd still laughed and shoved him off her.]}

Do you really have a lot of them who are in love with you?
