I don't think I ever told you, Catra... but I'm a spirit medium. My power is to call the spirits of the dead into my body. For weeks, I've been trying to get my powers back..... but I've been told it's impossible.
[ .... ]
At first I thought.... that there was just something wrong with me, but the more the information came out about the dead and the daycare.... the more it made sense to me.
[she chokes up a bit at that, another wave of guilt directed at Maya overwhemling her. after all, she was a complete jerk during the trial, and she knows it]
[but she also looks like she's about to cry?? so???]
[yeah okay, she is crying. hunching over Maya's hand, a sense of overwhelmed. . . something filling the vicinity. it's not negative!! it's hard to put a name to the emotion, though]

I-- the. Daycare, right?
no subject
Yeah. I found a few pieces of evidence pointing towards that.
I, um, I'm bidding on that auction, too.... to talk to the dead. So... maybe we'll know more next week.

Everyone really does believe they're just. . . there. Don't they?
[she doesn't believe it. not completely. she hopes for it, especially now, but. . .]

Why did it. . . make sense?
[listening now, though there are still flickers of disbelief in her emotions. the dead!! don't just!! talk to people!! do they?]
no subject
... That they're not really dead, right? At least, not the way we think.
[ maya is pretty resolute in her beliefs ]

[a small spattering of hope]
Yeah. Maybe. Everyone is so confident they can come back, I just--
[it's just. . . hard for her to believe]
[even though. . . she wants to]
no subject
[ maya knows it's easier for her to believe things like this than anyone else... after all, she knows that death isn't quite the end. ]
[ that's why it's so important for her to have hope. maybe it will help someone else have hope, too. ]
There are a lot of dead people walking around right now, you know?
[ so there's that. ]
But it's hard. I understand. There's something else I wanted to tell you, actually.

no subject
.... No matter what happens, I'm really happy that I met you. Thank you for being my friend.
