"A little?"

"Can you imagine if, uh, that you, who was happy, was magically here, now, expecting a baby -"

She's quiet for a while, trying to think of a scenario that satisfies this. It's very hard. She isn't very good at imagining scenarios. But she tries. Eventually she pictures the other her outside herself, standing across the room. But when she pictures her she isn't happy, being in this room, she's angry and disappointed and upset. She tries removing herself from the scenario. Tries removing Hagan. Puts the old Hagan back. Now the other her can be happy, a little bit.

 

"Maybe."

"What can we do to get that."

- well, there's nothing, in this scenario, she had to take them both away.

" - I don't know. I don't have her anymore."

Permalink

"That seems bad!"

Permalink

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you wanted her."

Permalink

 

"Wow. Well. Okay. Is this helping, or no -"

Permalink

" - helping how - "

Permalink

"At, uh, reminding you of how to be happy."

Permalink

"I don't - I don't know what that would be - "

Permalink

"Okay. That's okay. I ...I think the baby will help. Fazil thinks so too."

Permalink

"With being happy?"

Permalink

"Yeah. Or, with getting your sense of yourself back, which I think will in turn help with figuring out what you need to be happy."

Permalink

"Oh.

"Making a baby makes people sadder, a lot of the time, at first, but I guess I wouldn't know whether I was one of those."

Permalink

"I think that mostly happens if you don't have enough help and aren't getting enough sleep."

Permalink

 

"I guess I have the ring."

Permalink

"And all the help you'll need, right, if you only have it in you to look after him for a little bit every day then we can arrange that."

Permalink

"Okay."

Permalink

"And once he's older you can move out of the palace, maybe, if you want. I know it's a horrible place."

Permalink

Nod. She's so tired.

"I'm sorry I'm not the person you wanted."

Permalink

"Oh, Korva, no. You're wonderful and the best wife that anyone could possibly ask for, and I don't deserve you, and I love you. I just want to help you recover, now that we're hopefully done with this awful nightmare of having to set all that aside and get an heir -"

Permalink

"I don't know how. I don't remember what that means."

Permalink

"Well. I will try to remind you."

Permalink

 

"Okay."
