Heron Lake Plateau we'll be back again someday

Sequoia listened as intently as she could (which was to say, she listened very intently). There was, again, the thought that somebody leaving was the worst thing that could ever happen, and Sequoia bit her lip. She had left, but at least she had told Daddy Dio she was leaving. She still didn't quite know how he felt about it because she hadn't waited around for his reaction. Probably because she feared it. She knew her mother would have sent her off with a blessing... right? Momma Portia had always been so kind, so caring.

But that wasn't the focus of this thought train, and Seq tried to undo the derailment.

I left home, too. We all did. I know Wildfire was sad, but... sometimes life just takes you in a direction, and you don't really intend to hurt anybody along the way. Sequoia was completely ignorant of the havoc she had wrecked on her family back in Drageda, thank goodness. Maybe... it's just hard to say sorry. She offered Kiwi a sympathetic look, hoping she was making at least a lick of sense. She wanted both Kiwi and Bat to be happy, to be siblings again like they had before. This was rather hypocritical of her, considering she had left her siblings far, far behind.
