Loneliness is a blessing for Zelda. No dramas to be tied into. No listening to the bullshit story over and over again. The one time she tries to converse with the others, it was just the same old shit that she heard the day before. All about me me me, despite none of them seeming like an interesting main character in their tales of bullshit. It is why she has nothing to say, no words to force as there is simply nothing that interests her about them. Lips sealed and ears wandering from the conversation, barely remembering a single sentence that has been vomited into her direction.

It is the loneliness that has enabled Zelda to fine tune her talent. Nobody has ever been there to catch her fall. Always the one to pick herself up, even when she was a little kid. Kissing her own bruised knees even after Nurse Kim tended to them. Zelda only needs herself, the whole adoption thing just seems so unnecessary.

Allies are sparse in her life not that she needs them, Zelda has had to settle for the spider that lives in the corner of the ceiling above her bed. A nest is slowly building, and she just hopes she manages to relocate the hundreds of babies before Mr Charlie digs out some bottles of pest poison. Though maybe the eight-legged friend is not the only one. Ulrik always has the best voice. The best things to say that do not make her ears wander. He never smirks when she stutters and never tries to finish her sentences. It is just so hard to not push him away after growing so attached to her independence, his presence just ruins what she has built over the years. But he always seems to keep coming back…
