[Talk - Vasundhara]

Vasundhara's door.

I knocked quietly on Vasundhara’s door. Silence, for a few seconds. But just as I turned to leave, the door opened a crack and two watery eyes peeped down at me.

Tim sighs.
Timaeus
Yeah, I just– I wanted to tell you that, um, so you don’t have to worry about it… I was the one who…
Vasundhara gasps.

Vasundhara’s eyes went wide with fear, and I hurried to finish my sentence before she had the chance to work herself up into a panic attack.

Tim yelps.
Timaeus
B-but I didn’t tell anyone! And I won’t tell– I’m sure there’s an explanation, right? Y-you wouldn’t… hurt anyone on purpose.
Vash looks miserable.
Vasundhara

She nodded silently.

Tim smiles gently.
Timaeus

Vasundhara nods.
Vasundhara

She smiled at me, just barely, before closing the door.
