[she's glad for the update on clarissa's well being following seeing her jump out a window from jonas. unfortunately, clarissa is kind of a bitch. also, she feels bad for doing their cute little joke about swimability when alex mentioned drowning before. yikes.]
...Oh, Alex. She's so mean. That's not your fault whatsoever!
It's alright. Like, I know they were just jokes. It's... It's whatever.
[ she doesn't really like for it to be something that overtakes good things. michael was a good swimmer. alex still likes swimming, sort of, or she thinks of herself as someone who does. ]
They were dating. So. I—I do get why she wanted someone to blame.
Yeah. I more meant when you brought it up in a serious way.
[making silly jokes is one thing, but she was pretty insensitive when alex was trying to talk to her and make her feel better and mentioned someone drowning. but she'll let her wave it off, she gets not wanting to make a big deal out of it.]
Sure. I think everybody wants someone to blame when someone dies, but that doesn't make it right.
I miss my grandma a lot, too. And a lot of other people, also, but it's sort of different, when it's just a normal sad thing that happened and not some crazy horror thing or an afterlife destiny murder game.
[a wolf eating your grandma is just a normal thing to happen.]
I know what you mean. My friends—kept dying. Because of the ghosts. But then they'd be fine the next minute, so, I almost got used to it...? And then here it's like, I'm not used to it used to it, but...
...Yeah. I'm not used to it, either, but it feels different when they could come back. Not less sad, but like - I dunno. It's so serious and dramatic and stuff, with the trials. And everybody's upset.

[ hard for her to say without too many details. but she generally thinks parents just fail their children. that's just how that works. ]

Never stray from the path or a wolf will eat your grandma is hard advice to incorporate on a good day.
no subject
But uh, yeah, in practice that's way too specific. And stifling. And plus, like, bad things just happen sometimes. On or off the... path. Or whatever.

I really can't believe they blamed you like that.
