[021. We are broken, we can't fix it]
[She watched Allison's announcement. First with a horrifying fear that she was leaving to go back home, to die. She almost interjected then. She almost told her she'd leave herself if Allison wanted to stay.
But then she explained and Lydia let it go. She could understand needing space, needing time. This is the reason why she's been sitting up on the deck by herself since their argument. Hiding, afterall.
And while she's not done with her quiet time, she'd not done thinking about everything she said to Allison, and Allison said to her, she knows she needs to reach out to the others and tell them what she knows.]
[Video - Pack, no Allison]
[Her face is pale when she starts the video, and eyes might still be red, but she's not crying anymore. Her voice is flat when she speaks, though.]
Someone needs to talk to her. Make sure this place is safe. [Lydia hesitates and takes a deep breath.]
What happened at the other Barge-- she's not thinking straight. [And Lydia apparently just made it a lot worse.]
[Video - Zane]
[She'll just get straight to the point with this one.]
What is this place you suggested for Allison?

When I was there, the most frightened I saw anyone was a maid who wasn't watching and let Alrianne's daughter get near the edge of a balcony. And then she was only frightened of Alrianne.
You would like her, too. She's loyal and brave, and she loves dresses. Pink dresses. She didn't like me at all, at first - she made me go through hoops before she would trust me anywhere near the people she loved.

Would she be willing to look after Allison while she's there? Can you make sure she could stay with your friend?
Maybe-- you could go with her.

I hope it's good for her.

Me too.
It was the only thing I could think of. I was like that, here, once, and I went away for six months. Six months of helping people, and saving rare flowers, and talking to God.
[ He means this literally. ]
...The last one won't happen to Allison, but Alrianne will bring her to balls and make her play with the baby.

So when Zane mentions talking to God, she doesn't question. Even if he sounds like he means literally.]
That sounds nice, like a good break from all she's been through. [And Lydia wishes she could come with them. Spend some time alone with Allison. Seeing her best friend happy again. But right now, she knows she shouldn't be around her.]
