Author's Notes:

Cayt: This was a really difficult sequence to get right, but I am very proud of how it came out. Trying to get across that Kira can be scary, showing the different kinds of emotional turmoil the two are dealing with, and trying to get across what Cur has been wrestling with internally while also starting to bring down the Consequences Hammerℱ was a difficult balance to strike. There's more to come, of course, but I'm very happy with this setup. Ari and I worked our butts off on it. Incidentally, happy 150th page of this chapter! @_@

Ari: And we begin to really see the full extent of the damage that this system has brought on the children of Treehollow. Tamberlane, like Cur, found herself alone, without a guiding hand of a parent, but unlike Cur, she found a safe place to land in Belfry. How might things have turned out differently if Cur was able to open his heart again? It's so hard to trust again once you've been betrayed. I'm so proud of this sequence and what's coming after it. And yes, happy 150th of this chapter!!!

Transcript

CUR: Yeah.

Page 465

KIRA: No.
[SFX: RIP!]

CUR: O-oi! Why'd you...
KIRA: You don't get to do that.
KIRA: You don't get to just sneak off.

CUR: You don't get to tell me what I can't do!
CUR: I have to leave! I keep hurting
KIRA: What? What're you gonna say, Cur?

KIRA: You gonna say, "Ohh, I'm no good?"
KIRA: "I hurt creatures, ohh, I'm just th' worst, erryone hates me??"

KIRA: Well, that's YOUR FAULT!
KIRA: We told you to stop 'fore it got bad, Cur!

Page 466

KIRA: But you kept goin' at Tamberlane no matter what we said!
CUR: Oh, don't gimme that!
CUR: When we was goin' back on the cart, you blamed her! Loudly!!

KIRA: Because I was protecting you, stupid! So's they didn't know the truth!
CUR: What truth?!

KIRA: The truth that you did it.

KIRA: The truth that you nearly kilt Jonas and Tamberlane by bein' selfish.

KIRA: The truth that you got Jonas's leg chopped off.
CUR: His what...??

Page 467

KIRA: We said we'd stick together no matter what, Cur! You and me and Jonas!
CUR: W-wait, they chopped off his leg??

KIRA: Yeah, and now you're talking about leaving, right after you hurt him so bad it can never get fixed!!
CUR: Then I have to go. Before something worse happens!
KIRA: WE CAN'T LEAVE!

KIRA: If we leave, if we're banished, Jonas's gonna be all alone!
CUR: Hold up, who said anything about we?

CUR: It's always been my mistakes! The two of you can have yer cozy life in Treehollow without me around ruining everything!

KIRA: What do you MEAN, ruining everything?! We're FAMILY!
KIRA: You don't just LEAVE family!

CUR: YES! YOU DO!

Page 468

CUR: It doesn't matter if they gave birth to you! It doesn't matter how good you are!

CUR: It doesn't matter if they feed you or change your stupid nappies because you're their little baby and they'll love you forever.

CUR: One day you're s'posed to grow up and if you don't, they hate you, and when you do, they LEAVE!

CUR: But at least you're a grown-up when they go.

CUR: Our parents decided it wasn't worth waiting for us to grow up.
YOUNG CUR: ...Daddy...?
CUR: They just left.

CUR: You're my friend, Kira, but you'll never be my family.

CUR: Because I HATE my family.

KIRA : T-Tu


KIRA : Tu

[Bruitage : reniflement]

CABOT : Ouais.

Page 465

KIRA : Non.
[Bruitage : DÉCHIRE !]

CABOT : H-HĂ© ! Pourquoi tu

KIRA : T'as pas le droit de faire ça.
KIRA : T'as pas le droit de filer comme ça.

CABOT : Toi t'as pas le droit de me dire ce que je ne peux pas faire !
CABOT : Je dois partir ! J'arrĂȘte pas de faire du mal.
KIRA : Quoi ? Qu'est-c' tu vas dire, Cabot ?

KIRA : Tu vas dire : « Oh, je ne vaux rien » ?
KIRA : « Je fais du mal aux crĂ©atures, ohh, j'suis vraiment l'pire, tout l'monde me dĂ©teste » ?

KIRA : Eh bien, c'est TA FAUTE !
KIRA : On t'avait dit d'arrĂȘter avant qu'ça dĂ©gĂ©nĂšre, Cabot !

Page 466

KIRA : Mais t'as continuĂ© Ă  t'en prendre Ă  Tamberlane, quoi qu'on te dise !
CABOT : Oh, me sors pas ça !
CABOT : Quand on a retournĂ©s en charrette, tu l'as accusĂ©e ! À voix haute !!

KIRA : Parce que je te protĂ©geais, imbĂ©cile ! Pour qu'ils ne sachent pas la vĂ©ritĂ© !
CABOT : Quelle vĂ©ritĂ© ?!

KIRA : La vĂ©ritĂ©, c'est que c'est toi qui l'as fait.

KIRA : La vĂ©ritĂ©, c'est que tu as failli tuer Jonas et Tamberlane par Ă©goĂŻsme.

KIRA : La vĂ©ritĂ©, c'est que tu as fait couper la jambe de Jonas.
CABOT : Sa quoi
 ?

Page 467

KIRA : On avait dit qu'on resterait ensemble quoi qu'il arrive, Cabot ! Toi, moi et Jonas !
CABOT : A-Attends, ils lui ont coupĂ© la jambe ?!

KIRA : Ouais, et maintenant tu parles de partir, juste aprĂšs l'avoir blessĂ© au point que ça pourra jamais ĂȘtre rĂ©parĂ© !!
CABOT : Alors je dois partir. Avant que quelque chose de pire n'arrive !
KIRA : ON NE PEUT PAS PARTIR !

KIRA : Si on part, si on est bannis, Jonas sera tout seul !
CABOT : Attends, qui a parlĂ© de nous ?

CABOT : Ça a toujours Ă©tĂ© mes erreurs ! Vous deux pouvez vivre votre vie tranquille Ă  Treehollow sans que je sois lĂ  Ă  tout gĂącher !

KIRA : COMMENT ÇA, tout gĂącher ?! On est une FAMILLE !
KIRA : On ne QUITTE pas sa famille comme ça !

CABOT : SI ! ON LE FAIT !

Page 468

CABOT : Peu importe qu'ils t'aient mis au monde ! Peu importe Ă  quel point tu es bon !

CABOT : Peu importe qu'ils te nourrissent ou te changent tes stupides couches parce que tu es leur petit bĂ©bĂ© et ils t'aimeront pour toujours.

CABOT : Un jour, t'es censĂ© grandir, et si tu ne l'fais pas, ils te dĂ©testent. Et quand tu tu l'fais, ils PARTENT !

CABOT : Mais au moins, t'es un grand quand ils partent.

CABOT : Nos parents ont dĂ©cidĂ© que ça ne valait pas la peine d'attendre qu'on grandisse.
JEUNE CABOT : 
Papa
 ?
CABOT : Ils sont juste partis.

CABOT : Tu es mon amie, Kira, mais tu ne seras jamais ma famille.

CABOT : Parce que je HAIS ma famille.
