She's never been smart but she's not completely stupid, and there are enough things left behind in the castle scattered about in the way you might spread someone's ashes that... it's not hard to imagine.
It's not hard to guess. ]
... I'm glad.
[ She swallows again. ]
You don't... have to tell me anything, just because I decided to tell you the truth. Maybe once I do, you'll decide you don't want anything to do with me at all. But if you decide you want to... it's only fair if I listen too.
