( oh- that's a familiar feeling, one nene was trying very hard to ignore, actually. but that wouldn't help the other girl right now, would it? being told everything is fine when there was an actually reasonable concern or hang-up is the worst, after all. )

Yeah, I know how that is... The most I've been away is sleepovers, or study camps for a couple days. And even then, my home was still in walking distance. ... But... I think so long as I stay safe, Momma and Daddy would want me to make the most of it.

( and if it's a dream, then... they'd be there when they woke up. right? )
