Oh, you mean this silly game. I could care less about that.
[ she is not in any rush to return to the war left behind. at least not right now — so far, the guilt hasn't yet outweighed the relief for a reprieve. ]

Oh, I see.
[There's a twinge of something- while she hadn't sent this message with that intent she is also someone who thinks deeply about the benefits of every relationship. Could she be doing something harmful with her idle interest?]

[ though manuela supposes her priorities always skewed a little too much towards the romantic side of things, for however practical she was always forced to be. blame the artist in her. ]

What is your name? Mine is Manuela — that much of the profile is certainly true.
[Maybe someday she'd be able to picture someone who wanted her for her- but she'd also have to start contextualizing herself as more than a pile of traumas and skills. Baby steps.]
My name is Clara. I've only recently arrived here but I'm currently staying on the floor with the Rank 8 suites.

Lovely, I'm newly arrived myself. I believe I'm a floor above you. Feel free to stop by if you're ever in need of subpar company.
