[ Navia listens to Frieda in silence, her brows widening as she talks. Even in the whole of her tale, there are some strange similarities to that of the people of Fontaineβthe transformation into something other than human, the memories of the sin taken away from all but oneβ
She doesn't say any of that, though. She's told their story, even if she didn't go into quite the same detail. Right now, Frieda needs her chance to share, to express her pain.
And what a lot of pain it has to be.
It's like her people's story but worse. Like the people of Fontaine were villains, once upon a time, and the memories were taken, making them believe they were innocent. And then for Frieda to be a descendant of the person who made it all happen...
Navia takes the other girl's hands firmly in her own, squeezing them as she listens. ]
The world truly blames you for something you had no hand in? You can't help being his descendant any more than you can help being born a woman. You didn't get to choose something like that.
