[ Using her comm while she's the size she is now is a tad difficult so she simply defaults to voice with the text reader on so she doesn't have to mess with the tiny screen. ]

I'm sorry, Konoha. [ She feels bad that she fed into that hope as much as she did. ]

I know others have already answered, but I don't think it was ever meant to be a real child. Or may it was but something in the magic went wrong so it never developed as a child? I don't know, I wish I could help...

[lumberlady]

but was never real child inside? never having heartbeat or spirit? always flower egg?

answer changes action... i must know.

[ragingnature]

[ She's quiet for a moment. ]

It felt more like what I'm familiar working with than a living being. I haven't been around many pregnant women in my life so I didn't know how that life was supposed to feel but knowing what we know now...

[ She sighs softly. ] I'm so sorry.

[lumberlady]

PERSEPHONE is no required to apologize.

i was much happy. was wanting to believe muchly.

if was always flower... is less cruel.

[but still cruel]

[ragingnature]

I know b-but I still can't help but feel bad.

[ There's a short pause. ]

Is there anything you need or I could bring you? I'm kind of really big right now but after the Triple Moon...

[lumberlady]

is alright.

LUNATIA make me believe, not PERSEPHONE or other people. i had much fun with others, when was thinking it was child.

[she's always looked forward to that part of pregnancy, to the soft slide of palm along belly seeking proof of a kick, the press of an ear to her side, the tender expression on her husband's face-]

no need to come for work or bring. i think i just spend some time with GONTA.

[because she wasn't the only disappointed one.]

[ragingnature]

I was really excited for you.

[ She would have been there in a heartbeat to babysit even if she doesn't know the first thing about caring for a child. ]

Still, I'd like to make something for you and Gonta. Whatever you want. I won't interrupt, I could just leave it by the door for you.

[lumberlady]

i too.

cannot have what i want, so i no want anything right now. live on farm, so. food is all having. is fine.

[ragingnature]

[ She sits in silence for a few moments, the sound of the wind and distant birdsong can be heard. She hates feeling so useless. She just wants to look after the people she cares about and make them happy. ]

O-okay. If you need anything let me know.

[ She's such a hypocrite telling others she'll be there to help them when she won't ever reach out for help herself. ]

[lumberlady]

[Thankfully, Konoha has no problems reaching out for help when she needs it. But right now... the help she needs most comes from a little closer to home. Still-]

thank you, PERSEPHONE. i appreciate kind thoughts.

just will rest now. then back to work in some time. i see you then.
