"What? How was he that much older?" Setsuna asks, eyes wide. "But yeah, after that, I guess a few years older is no big deal."

He worries his bottom lip for a little bit.

"Sometimes we all gotta do that, I guess. As long as you're happy, that's the more important thing."

"It's ... a really long story. Maybe I'll tell you on the way down."

She takes a breath as she considers. She wouldn't say she's happy necessarily. But she is getting there. She's finding her way, and that's the important thing.

"I think I'm getting there."

"Tell me," Setsuna prods, but he smiles after. He isn't going to push her if Josie doesn't want to delve into it.

"Getting there is good enough. Means you gotta be doing something right, right?"

[polydeukes]

She would like to do better. She would like to feel better. And hopefully one day she'll get there.

"But anyway. My mom and Stefan ..."

And as they venture down to the club, she'll spin the short lived love story of Caroline Forbes and Stefan Salvatore, and take a little more time to bond before Josie disappears from Hell.
