T-Tia. I wanna say she isn't the type to just run off like that, but..." She stops, biting her fingernails some. "I k-know how she is, but she should've come back b-by now! She loved her family, she loved them. She made them proud, she was treated so well! I-I don't understand why she'd ever run away from that. I've seen the sacrifices Charlotte made for her, sacrifices that costed her sleep and hang-outs and school...! She really loved her, a l-lot. I really loved her too. When Charlotte was busy, I walked her home from school and she was always the brightest part of my day. I wish I had that... that optimism to smile through the worst things in life. If I were in her situation, without my vision-- I don't even k-know what I'd do. Her smile is different from Nina's... I can tell Tia means hers. S-She really does love the things she does, so... tell me w-why she'd run away?!"
"Tia... and so soon after Nina. It's sad, you know. This is the beginning of something awful. How many more mothers have to lose their babies before something's done...?" She takes a sip of her tea, putting it down with a sigh. "It's odd, I never thought Tia and Louis had all that close of a connection, and yet it seems Louis is grieving as heavily over Tia as he did for Nina...? Perhaps the situation is re-opening that freshly cut wound. I can't say I'm exactly doing all too well."
"H-Huh? What? Oh, Tia..." His expression sank. "Yeah, it's a sick thing that happened... so soon after Nina, too." There's a long pause. "What more is there to say? She was Harmony's child, I can't imagine the grief she's going through."
"I don't know- she was- she was- she is nice, I guess, always caught up in her own weird world.. And gullible, she's sooo gullible! ..No wonder she's.." He was on the verge of tears.
