Yeah.

I think she's dead.

I should be relieved. (CHUCKLES)

There's so many things I don't understand

- about my parents. - Like what?

Like why they weren't honest with me.

Why they did such horrible things.

Why wasn't she interested in me for 13 years,

and then suddenly, she was.

Why did they abandon me?

When I thought Asriel was my uncle, I idolized him.

And then I hated him.

And now, I can't forgive him, but...

I don't hate him either.

Well, he won the war.

And we get to be here, so...

I have the strangest feeling he's gone.

Which means I'm alone.

No, you're not.

I suppose I was feeling a little... daring.

You know, honestly, up until that point,

I really didn't feel like my life was lacking.

And then, I met someone.

this memory came flooding back to me.

And I realized...

I had felt this feeling before...

years ago, when I was at school.

Those butterflies in the pit of my stomach.

That ache to be close to someone.

I think I had just

been too afraid to recognize it before.

But I didn't wanna forget it this time.

I knew I couldn't go back to the convent after that.

I just couldn't bear the idea of living

without ever feeling that alive.

And I thought...

"Will anyone be better off

if I just go back to the hotel and say my prayers

and promise never to fall into temptation again?"

And the answer came back.

No...

no one will.

And I realized...

there was no one there to reward me

for being a good girl,

or no one there to punish me for being wicked.

There was no one.

And it was... It was liberating.

And it was-- it was a bit lonely. (CHUCKLES)

But I just knew I wanted to experience everything

the world had to offer. I wanted to experience love.

- And did you? - (MARY EXHALING)

Yeah.

- Were you scared? - Oh, my God, I was terrified.

I was risking everything, and I was sure I'd be rejected.

But... it was worth it.

It's rare.

When it happens,

when you feel that way, you have to grab it.

It's funny, isn't it?
