But she... doesn't belong here. Even if she doesn't know why that's true. And getting to go see new things, and not be so alone...
Jane ducks her head, biting her tongue like she's really thinking about it. All the while, the shadows watching. Finally, she looks up again, scared but determined.]
Okay. I can show you around.
[She'll put her hand in hers.
And of course, that's where things start to fall apart.
The whispers, previously unable to be understood, swell in intensity to be understood, a mangle of voices of she's leaving, where could she go, she is here, she js ours. Jane's eyes go wide, looking back at Kayo and keeping their hands clasped.

Hopefully she remembers where the exit is.]
