Darius's ex-wife? Someone allowed her a public platform?
I've had the good fortune not to interact with her in years, but that horrible woman is the one who introduced me to Madeline. That sort of rhetoric doesn't surprise me, considering the source.
If anything is wrong with the world, it's people like her who use their voices to protect their positions of privilege. [...] A tirade from which I'll refrain. I think I wouldn't be saying anything new to your ears.
I never did meet Senan's mother, but I've heard nothing but good of her over the years. I remember how hard it was for him when she died.
For the rest -
I'm honored you feel soothed by me, and proud of you, Nova. My Vevay, how fortunate I am to know you and know that you take my words to heart.
I'd like that moment, malaise and reassurance, to be the shape of any sorrow you feel. If you'll let me, as I'll let you, be a reason for comfort.

You mentioned locales you've inhabited; it's no tangent. It's to do with you, and I want to know all of you if you'll share with me.
We can talk of anything you like, as long as I have words from my Vevay.
