Most high schools are more or less the same once you get beyond things like which mascot is on the wall and how strict they are with their rules.
Gossip is one of those near-constants. The current rumor spreading around is that there is a real ghost that wanders along a certain stretch of bike path in a state park, some evenings.
"My dad actually hired her once," one girl claims, "She used to be Terrana Hastings, that healer person. How creepy is that?"
"I'll help you and other people and you'll also help more people if I restore you."
She smiles.
She - flickers. "This is - tiring. Conversation. Not tiring exactly. But that's the best word I can think of."
"Okay. You said you could have years, or maybe months—do you have a way to tell more accurately?"
"When I forget my name and my mission, I'm almost done. But I'm Terrana. And I healed all comers."
She nods.
"I'll come visit you every day, and I'll research more about who you were and I'll remind you."
"- Actually, that may be a risk. The dissonance if I cannot recall something you say is true..."
"It is, but sometimes good for the soul. Is there anything in particular you want me to do, or maybe bring?"
Here, data degradation is her enemy. Monsters' decay auras especially like information, after all. A lot of the newspapers in the archives literally fall apart when the librarian tries to get them. Online research doesn't reveal too much more.
It seems like she was sued for transitioning someone, and then sued a bunch more by people not happy with their post-healing state, but Kaede can't find any actual legal documents.
This is terrible. Ugh.
Okay... she can't really take care of a kitten, but... what if the next day she goes to a shelter and asks to, like, borrow one for a while for a very very sick friend?
Shelters don't really loan out kittens. All sorts of problems with that. No, sorry.
Weeelllll does she know anyone who has a kitten and would be willing to do that...?
