( It's yet another striking reminder of the years that Rose lost with Sharon β all that time between her daughter being that wide-eyed, timid little girl to becoming a young woman capable of defending herself and others. Sharon reassures her, tells her that it's okay, and it makes Rose's heart clench painfully tight all over again. Sharon is still her little girl no matter what, and it's hard not to dwell on the fact that she's been absent in her life, both recently and back when she was a little girl, when she apparently stayed behind in Silent Hill while Sharon escaped.
But she can't dwell on that, or her guilt and horror and loss. She nods, closing her eyes tightly shut for a moment before opening them again. )
I'm here. ( She repeats, meaning it in more way than one. She's here, she found Sharon, she isn't going anywhere again. And she's also here, in that school, the survival area. Quickly, Rose nods once more, and turns the device in her hands to pan around the forest. Survival area, Sharon calls it. )
Yes β I've moved to where the forest starts. I'm not far from the main part of the school, I think.
( Her heart pounds as she moves closer to it, so that she'll hopefully be able to see Sharon approaching her. )
