[...!!

... She takes it and unfolds it to give it another look.]

I... I'll treasure it.

[If Rita is the hostage, it makes more sense for Estelle than he to have her likeness in a positive depiction. Small comforts matter. He'll just have to ask Lucretia's forgiveness if he ends up coming back without it.]

That's all I needed to hear.

[Even if it's something small, he wants to do what he can.]

Anything else you want to know?

[After a long look, she carefully rolls it up (not folding it, you animal) and puts it away.]

No... I think that's all I needed to ask.

I feel bad about just leaving you here, though...

[ercnerd]

[It's too late. The paper's been folded to death.]

Don't worry. You may be leaving, but others are sure to come by. They'll be wanting answers as well.

[mustbepurged]

Right... Then I won't take up any more of your time.

[She takes a step back, and bows.]

Thank you... for everything.

[ercnerd]

. . . Yeah. Take care.

[With that, he turns around to reclaim his seat on the edge of the bed.]
