[The feed opens to the view of Olivine beach, held by its owner as she records the horizon and ocean for a while. It records silence for a few moments before the owner speaks up, sounding hesitant.]

... if you've done something wrong in the past that hurt a lot of people, and every one of them said that it was alright and that they didn't blame you...

... but... you still feel guilty over it...

... how do you go about forgiving yourself?

[There's more silence and then an audible sigh, before there's an elephant trumpet sound, and Namine giggles as a Phanpy clambers and obscures half the view of the camera.]

No, this isn't for playing. Come on.

[The feed cuts off.]

It might be ambitious, but...

I want to try.

... I know.

It might work out, or it might not. But I want to make the effort. I'm ready for what the future might bring.

Good. We wouldn't want you to end up burned now, would we?

[voice, private]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

And what if I make it? What if... I prove that I can be something apart from a witch?

No one can forget what they are.
