[a good bit of banging and clanging, and perhaps a bit of vocalized frustration, before a defeated Sheena sits down in a kitchen chair]

I didn't think it'd ever be this hard to make a sandwich. Geez.

[of course she has no idea she's left the book open. She can't see it]

Adapting is what I'm trying to do in the first place!

...But I think I got some of my memories straightened out.

[wise_maiden]

You have a tendency to work yourself up and give up easily.

... Did you?

[voice // locked]

[corrinesbell]

...Did you talk to Regal?

Yeah, maybe. I think I recognize some people.

[voice // locked]

[wise_maiden]

Hm? No, I haven't spoken to him in some time now.

That's good. It's a start.

[voice // locked]

[corrinesbell]

Oh. Okay, never mind.

...I was kinda hoping that when I started to remember stuff, I'd start seeing too.

[voice // locked]

[wise_maiden]

You still have quite a few memories to go. It probably just needs a little more time. And... patience.

[corrinesbell]

Quit sounding like you don't think I'm gonna deal with it.

[voice // locked]

[wise_maiden]

That's not what I was saying.

[voice // locked]

[corrinesbell]

It's what your voice was saying. You sound just as frustrated with me as I am with this.

[voice // locked]

[wise_maiden]

[Actually, she's just speaking calmly as usual.]

I apologize if you got that impression. If I do sound frustrated, it is more at the lack of things I can do to help you with the situation, rather than you, yourself.

[corrinesbell]

[Sheena may possibly perhaps be reading into things a bit. Oh yes.]

...Sorry.

[wise_maiden]

It's fine. I understand that you're at a block right now. But jumping to conclusions about people's motivations... will only increase the block, instead of making it smaller.

[voice // locked]

[corrinesbell]

I can't stand this sitting around and waiting for something to happen.

[voice // locked]

[wise_maiden]

You're not just sitting around.

[voice // locked]

[corrinesbell]

Then what else am I doing?

[voice // locked]

[wise_maiden]

You're working on gathering your memories, and trying to make sandwiches. It's something.

[voice // locked]

[corrinesbell]

The sandwich just pretty much proved I'm useless, y'know.

[voice // locked]

[wise_maiden]

You're getting too frustrated with it. Take your time. Say out loud what you're doing, step by step.

[voice // locked]

[corrinesbell]

I'd sound like an idiot.

[voice // locked]

[wise_maiden]

I guess you really don't want that sandwich. It's a shame; I'm sure it would have tasted even better with success.

[voice // locked]

[corrinesbell]

You're not gonna get me to do it by trying to taunt me, Raine.

[voice // locked]

[wise_maiden]

I think you're a little too preoccupied with how you seem to others. I know you don't remember how things ... can be here, right now, but no one is going to be looking to laugh at you for no reason, especially if they know what you're dealing with.

[she can't exactly put into words what the issue is: she doesn't know what will happen to her in this strange place if she shows any weakness]
