"I'm not done, I think, but I see the start of a path."

"...I - still don't. Not one for me." She's been instead pretty aggressively avoiding thinking about certain topics. It's - refreshingly a lot easier than it used to be. 

"If you need anything, Anakin, anything at all..."

"I don't - know what you can provide." What Elesse would be actually willing to do.

"Whatever you need."

She stares at Elesse, overwhelmed - by the offer, and by the enormous task of evaluating if it's true. (Not just if Elesse means it - if there's things she hasn't thought of that she wouldn't try to provide - but if Elesse would. Be able to. Because Anakin is... Pretty sure Elesse can't actually do everything Anakin needs. Let alone everything Anakin wants. And she doesn't know how to even start defining what she needs.)

"And if it's anything I can't do personally, I will find whoever or whatever can."

"...How do you know you mean it?" she asks, hesitantly, quietly.

"The path I mentioned. This is it."

"Doing - whatever I want?"

"Whatever you need me to."

"...Where's the line between need and want, here?"

"I think," Elesse says, "that is something that we will need to work on together."

"There's - a lot of stuff I want. But I'm not... Really sure what I need."

"We can work on that. In the meantime... you can always, always ask."

"...I want to talk about what happened. I - think I might need that. But... Once I start thinking about it, it'll be hard to stop, so - I want to talk about everything. If you're - ready."

She should've asked Elesse for something sexual, that'd be petty and fraught but less scary.

"I am, I think."

"Okay."

"I - I don't know where to start..."

"Neither do I."

"...I could possess you and then - think about that - and you could. I guess follow things?"

"If you would like to."

"I think so..." And she steps into Elesse - her head is a scattered mess right now. 

Maybe Elesse's calm can help.

Yeah. It does. A lot. 

She needs it, because - even without her body screaming at her all the time, even without her mind eating itself, even without the insistent voices berating her - even having left the military - even having Elesse's attention back - 

A lot of the reasons she killed herself still exist, and the reasons that don't still exist - left scars. Pretty deep ones. 

Can she tell Elesse about some of those scars?
