[Farrah starts off munching apple slices while she listens to him. You’d think the whole dead and rotting talk might be a little off putting for a meal, but she doesn’t seem to mind. But when he mentions losing his wife— and then his daughter, she stops. And when he brings up his own death, Farrah outright drops the slice she’d been munching on onto the floor.
She doesn’t go get it. Let Ruddiger have some floor apple as a treat later, he deserves it.
She pushes herself out of her blanket nest, tensing just slightly at the mention of her father, because she still misses him so badly, and she was so close to seeing him again, so close to being by his side once more. At what cost, though?
Benj’s right here, right in front of her. She can’t just ignore that. She can’t just forget about him, this poor man who has lost everything, even himself, yet still loved her. She’s a foolish girl, for letting her loss cloud that. And he still loves her, despite all the foolishness.
She doesn’t know how to convey all of this. Doesn’t, and can’t convey the love and loss in her heart all at once. But she can press herself against him like the lost child that she is, desperate for love and safety.]
