The others all went out of their way to avoid the both of us for quite some time before she came to the academy, and they still largely avoid me even now. They're concerned—no, bothered by the mistakes I made and what she appears to be, and they won't care if she distances herself even more, nor do I think they would if I did so myself.
As far as I'm concerned, she's made the right choice.
[Desidera had initially looked mildly surprised at how easily Marise had accepted that news, but that awkwardness shifted into something else—a bit of discomfort at the thought that most of her family wanted nothing to do with her—before showing a bit of obvious relief when she heard it said that her decision was the correct one.]

[Marise was silent for a moment. She already understood from what Gunvolt said that they were friends, so hearing her daughter say that (and furthermore: indicate that it was important) clearly meant something else.]
Oh, well, isn't this a surprise! [Judging by the tone, it's a good surprise.]
