[Friend. What a strange, weighty word for human relationships. It's easy to feel like she doesn't have friends because "allies" creates a level of distance. It's a promise to be there, to watch someone's back, to help them out, and friends has that too, but it's also different. It's a level of care and concern that's scary because when they're hurt, they're upset, it hurts too.
Ginia is good at lying to herself. Aren't the presents appearing for her today a sign of the friendships she's made, of how much people care for her because she cares in return?]
I guess.
[There's a brief pause before adding on, more honestly:]
I don't regret helping him. But I don't know if I can do another ablution either. Not for someone I don't know.
