I get it. You were just being cautious, right? It's...difficult, sometimes, when you know your situation's a little different than other people's.
[it's a concept she's fairly familiar with, considering.]
It's a lot to take in all at once. I think it took us most of our first week here to really get into the swing of things, and even by then new things started appearing and changing. It's always a little jarring, too, when you wake up after something like dying. [and of course there's the fact kate was very much a monster, and while the implication of that is in her words, she doesn't outright bring it up yet. everything turned out fine.]
[ a small nod... ] I think it would be understandable for anyone to be frightened by the sight of someone with no face.
[ everyone here is used to kate now. many of them accepted her surprisingly quickly. the thought of starting at square one again is a little daunting. ]
... It is jarring. But everyone has been very kind and helpful.
Still. [understandable or not, she does think it's a little rough that kate has to even think of how to handle that kind of situation in the first place. but that's life, she supposes. and she knows the people here have been kind, and grown to love her, so the idea of having to face it again would be scary. she doesn't have to verbalize it for aerith to think it.]
We've all had time here to get used to things which probably helps. Everybody wakes up in the coffins, and everybody's unsure of what's going on. Some of us wake up on Saturdays before the trials begin and then it's a whole day of watching that side. Others wake up like you did, after the last ritual. Most of us want to help ease people in and make the transition as painless as possible, I think.

[ Aerith never treated her strangely, but Kate knows that people aren't necessarily the same when they're children. ]
... I'm getting used to it, I think.
