Library [1/02]

This morning there was a closed library, there was a Karal, and there was a Firecat.

Soon after, there was an open library and a Karal with a cup of tea.

There was still a Firecat around somewhere, but he was well hidden today.

"Everyone keeps saying they don't want me to feel guilty. I just...I feel like I can't believe them. Like deep down, they'll get pissed if I'm not sorry enough," Sam said. "Is it enough to just be angry at the demon? I'm not letting anyone get hurt again because of me, I can promise that."

Oh, Sam. He couldn't help reaching forward to pat his hand, squeezing gently. "I know it's hard, but you can trust them, I promise," he said, voice absolutely certain. "It's enough to be angry. The demon deserves your anger, he's earned it, earned your hatred and rage. It was the demon who did this to you, to those you love, the demon's choice, the demon's actions. Be angry at the demon, but not at yourself."

"I can try," Sam said, staying quiet for just a second before looking up at Karal. "Do you think it's okay for me to still be scared too?"

"I'm terrified," Karal said bluntly. "I was terrified on Sunday, and I'll be terrified next time you need me. Fear is nothing to be ashamed of. It's absolutely okay."

"You did really well for someone who was terrified," Sam said with a soft smile.

He looked down at his hands. "We do what needs to be done," he said quietly.

"You still did a great thing. I know my family will always be grateful," Sam said. "And I'm glad you talked to me. I really appreciate that."

"Thank you for letting me," he replied, shrugging off the rest. "I can't seem to help worrying. And you know where I am if you need to talk, or rant, or just somewhere to be quiet."

"I...thank you," Sam said. "Hopefully I won't need either of those last two things again any time soon."

"You're very welcome." He smiled at Sam. "And I'm sure you won't."

"I should let you get back to what you were doing," Sam said. "Thanks again."

"I had best get back to it." He looked around the table and shook his head. "I think I might have bitten off more than I can chew, here, but I'll keep working."
