_____She stepped out from the tall doorway of the mansion into the cool rain and pulled the door to behind her with a faint click. The fact that it was damp outside yet another day didn't deter her any, there was much to be done. Corona had been spending a little more time scoping out parts of Inferni, getting a better bearing of the terrain that was beginning to seem a bit more like home. Or that was at least what she was trying to resolve it to, because that what it was going to be home. You belong with me, and with your family, were the very words that Gabriel had said and they had stuck with her.
_____As she meandered through the forest, she sifted through her jumbled thoughts and tried to organise them once again. Between needing to head back to Esper Hollow to check up on everyone and still keeping an eye on Talitha (even though Andrezej was dead and gone), she had let a lot of things go to waste in the past days. Like Andrezej, for instance. She had only met him once and the second time she met him it was when he was meeting death at the hands of his own family. They had stripped him of his life and of his name, but it had still affected her in ways that she didn't quite grasp.
_____It wasn't him so much that she thought about as it was her own mother, who had become the elusive ghost. Corona had assumed she had gone away to die, her body simply too taxed and too tired to keep hanging on and fighting the good fight, but sometimes she couldn't help but wonder. She plopped down at the water's edge and sat cross-legged, letting her arms drape over her legs to toy with the damp sand. Her bangs fell into her line of sight but it didn't matter much, because Corona wasn't paying attention to her surroundings, just thinking. Pondering those millions of what ifs.
