Okay? [ Almost frantically, she shakes her head, speaking quickly. ] No, I-- no. I failed... I failed and I couldn't...! [ Again she shakes her head, like she's trying to clear it, and puts a hand over her heart--
Then abruptly goes blank so fast you'd think she'd been slapped. A moment later, the distress starts right back up, but she also leans away again, quickly standing without taking the journal with her.
Fortunately, she doesn't go far and shouldn't be hard to find, on account of the large number of ripped-out journal pages draped all over the ground in the vicinity. She's pretty much the picture of misery though, sitting and shivering on the steps of one of the playground structures with her Brand partially covered- at first, it might even look like it's gone entirely, but really, it's just all white instead of black and red now. As if it's been burned away. ]
