They're both young. It's not something Ange often thinks of, when it feels like her eightteen lived years were more like a thousand, and when Toph is so good at acting all tough and capable, but it's something she's reminded of a lot in this moment. Ange feels lost when talking about this, and Toph sounds a little lost too.
How could they ever hope to solve the problem that is Ange's dumpster fire of a life? It's only in this moment that Ange realizes Toph is trying to solve it in the ways she can - with affection. With being kind, in her own way. With offers of taking her away from it.
It makes her only appreciate it more. Even as Ange answers, quietly: ]
Dead. Disppeared. [ It doesn't sound like those two are the same thing - like she's talking about separate instances. ] In this place it's more often the latter. Sometimes people here say they want to be friends with me, and then whatever's behind this place just..
[ She's quiet for a moment, and then adds: ]
.. takes them away.
[ It might explain some of her reluctance when it comes to the whole friendship deal. It's hard to keep believing in it when you keep losing it. Sometimes it feels like a cruel joke, especially when she considers the crime this place decided she's here for. ]
