*not convinced by the tree's answer*
*watches*

<----Archangelica

*looks around* But you're alive, so...

*shakes her head*

I'm sorry, Arachne, honey. It's just me left. It's been a year. And, as far as I can tell, the rest of it was true too.

*wonders if the newly arrived lady could be someone like her, Flower*

<----- Annanagram

*stick head out*
You listened?

<----Archangelica/Arachne

*tries the name out* Arachne... yes. My god, Semolina, I forgot my name! My name!

*feels embarrassed* I should apologise.

*calls out* Annanagram! Are you still there? I'm sorry I didn't believe you! *still wonders why she believes it so easily coming from Semolina* I'm sure you can understand, none of it sounded very likely!

Of course I listened.

<----- Annanagram

Nothing here sounds very likely ... but you always believed me ... You saw that flower woman, isn't that unbelievable, too?

<----Archangelica/Arachne

*looks at semolina then back toward where Annanagram is, in the dark*

I suppose I should probably believe you when you say that.

<----- Annanagram

*still depressed* Oh, nevermind. No need to believe me. At least you're not alone anymore. *leave the tree and walk back to the camp*

*jumps aside as the cat jumps down from above her*

<----Archangelica/Arachne

*confused by annanagram's behaviour*

*turns back to Semolina* Thomas too?

<----- Annanagram

*walk into the lab*
*jump onto Angelica's cot*
*curl up there*
*don't really know why but just wait*

*nods, becoming quite hazy and difficult to see in the shadows of the forest*

I'm sorry, Arachne.

*gradually becomes hazier until it's impossible to see her against the shadows*

<-----Archangelica/Arachne

*reaches out but touches nothing*

Wait! Don't go!

*watches as her friend vanishes away*

*red eyed and teary, stumbles back to the camp*
