Swiftcurrent Creek We could dance our tears away, emancipate ourselves

There was certainly something lacking in Reverie's ability to form bonds; not a lack of compassion, but of trust and empathy and perhaps even a true grasp on reality. That was the thing about trauma: there was a before and an after, and everything after would always be filtered through that lense. Colored, but rather than rose-tinted it was something ugly and grey.
Love, for Reverie, would always be associated with the worst kind of pain. So maybe it made sense that she could only seem to cause conflict in those she loved. It was all she really knew. Swiftcurrent Creek seems to have a lot of problems with women, Reverie teased lightly, still quite determined to forget these worries, but even her own joke only reminded her of how broken she was. She herself was arguably the most problematic woman in Swiftcurrent Creek's orbit.
