I feel the same way. A promise made should be a promise kept.

[she looks down at her hands.]

...I've lived my whole life that way. Thinking that we deserve more than what we were born to. And now I am here, and I am told that I must be "better" than I was in order to go back. Does that mean belieivng that was wrong? If I have to simply accept my lot in life... [she shakes her head.] I do not know that I can.

[ frowns a bit.... ]

To be honest, that is the thing that I find confusing here... I don't know what makes a person "better" by what standards. I think everyone is probably trying their best as they are.

But... maybe it's something besides that, Waner. Maybe there's another aspect in which you should approach your redemption, because I don't think settling for less is the right way.

[jiaohua]

I just wish I knew what that other aspect was.

[she drops her gaze to her hands.]

Although, I imagine we are all grappling with something similar. Since we don't know how our growth is being measured, precisely...

[noirges]

Did you get a chance to talk to the angels about it...?

[jiaohua]

Yes, when we first met them, but they did not seem to have a strict rubric either...

[noirges]

[ smiles gently ]

It's okay. We'll be here a while, so I'm sure you'll have time to figure it out - and then you'll be back home with your mother in no time.

[jiaohua]

...I truly hope you are right, Yves.

[noirges]

[ places a hand on her shoulder ]

And if there's anything I can do to help, just say the word, okay? I'll come running.

[jiaohua]

Thank you.

[she smiles faintly at that. i think we can wrap here? good lord this week got away from me]
