"Oh," Viola's voice fell. In retrospect, she should have seen that coming, the fact that some people came here to deal with pain and forget pasts. Despite her recent adventure of nearly being 'eaten' in some vague, metaphoric way and having to send one of her maids to jail, Viola was nowhere near carrying that level of burden. At least not recently...?
"I suppose I just wanted a break." Viola said, feeling almost lame. "One of the few friends I had turned out to be anything *but*, but I was saved by the others. A nightmare was going to eat me... it wound up eating that ex-friend instead."
A moment passed. With a less heavy voice, she added. "But it was partially curiosity too. Until recently, I didn't get out of the house much."
