Ume: The whole reason why everything is jacked up is because of what happened to Fox. If I can just give her some closure, maybe… she’ll go back to being how she used to be.

Cupid: Look, don’t get me wrong. What happened was tragic, just awful. That kid didn’t deserve to die like that, but the trail is dead. We had one suspect and that’s a dead end.

Ume: He could still be connected somehow. Valerian Nova is the only person who had any real motive.

Cupid: He also has an airtight alibi, so good luck proving that.

Ume: You could help me?’

Cupid: Do you even know what can of worms you’re getting ready to open by digging this all up?

Ume: What do you mean?

Ume: No way! Do you know how hard it is to find a good one of those? There’s so many to things to think about. Child to teacher ratios, curriculum, what is their policy on snacks–

Cupid: Geeze, sorry I asked. I get it, trust me. But is it really bad when you consider Provence’s current situation? Being bounced between your friends whenever her mother is too unstable to take care of her isn’t exactly ideal.

Ume: …I see your point. That’s why I feel like solving Fox’s case is my only option…

Cupid: [shakes head] I hate to break it to you, but will it really do any good?

Ume: Worse… she’s regressing again. 

Cupid: How bad is it this time?

Ume: She hasn’t left her room since Sunday. She won’t even come out to see Provence anymore. I had to take her to the Harp’s this morning.

Cupid: Maybe it’s time to look into daycare?
