[ it's difficult at times to be happy for the fortune of someone else. it's no small comfort to have others you love and trust with you in uncertain and foreign places, and while violet would prefer that she and her siblings were in a safe and familiar place together, she wishes they could be with her here and now.
her smile is a struggle, but it is there. violet collects herself and answers, ] I am, but— [ she reaches forward to pick up a piece of wood and offers her hammer to dipper ] —maybe we can all be less alone, if you want to help me with this sled? [ she is hopeful, just as she and her siblings were hopeful, that one can find friends even in the darkest of places. ]
