[Actually, it is Essek who is looking for Kate when he finds her! He offers a nod of greeting. Frumpkin is here! The cat chirps while bobbing for Kate which makes the noises stutter.]
It's okay. There was a lot happening, and I did make myself scarce for a little while...
[ being surrounded by strangers is a bit daunting when you are a tiny cryptid. she hesitates a moment, then bends down to offer gentle pets to frumpkin. ]
[NOT THE MASSIVE CAT DEATH. It's fine. Frumpkin will relieve all worries by purring loudly.]
As someone who retained a great deal of luxuries and autonomy, it is more like my first time. I believe the rest of you have it much worse here. You have earned your dues; I feel no need for an audit.
Lacking my abilities and my comforts, yes. I'm adjusting. But the motions we're going through... They are familiar, thankfully. I suppose we shall see weeks of hijinks, effects, curses, spells, items, and then... perhaps being locked in somewhere, forced to sleep through a murder.
Finding them, the trial. Et cetera. I'm not sure why going through all of this again will somehow prove we deserve the outcome the first time. I'm a bit wary something may be different.
I wonder about that, too. All of this seems a little too "open." If we rely only on our previous experiences, we might end up missing something important.

Hello, Frumpkin.

[IT'S FINE TO RUN AWAY FROM ALL OF THIS AFTER THE FIRST TIME. Frumpkin arches and waddles back and forth through the petting.]
...I am sorry you are in another place like this again.

... It's horrible. But it's the same for all of us. It surely isn't easy for you, either...

It means more to hear that from you than it would from some "auditor."
... I suppose it will be an adjustment for you, being on this side of it... though it's not as if you were so far removed from it before.
[ you did get murdered.... ]
