The Principal's Office

[tailor_made]

The door to the principal’s office is open at all hours, although you will only find Hester at the receptionist’s desk from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. This is primarily where you can have private conversations with her. Though there’s an actual office in the back, it is always closed and locked.

I know. I trust you.

[And she does. More than anyone else she's ever met. He'd taken her in, showed her things she couldn't even have dreamed and how broken everything had become- and he'd asked her to help him fix it! Her, little Hester who'd had no one for so long suddenly has the most powerful man in the universe taking her under his wing.

How could she not trust him?]

I'm...a little nervous about it. I know it should be fine but they were all so angry and I wasn't sure how to answer some of their questions and... [She trails off, anxiously fiddling with her necklace.] I'm so afraid of messing it all up.

[Will smiles.]

You won't mess it up.

[At least this time, he can be confident about that much.

It shouldn't really matter, but some things just come naturally even after all this time - he goes on:]

Tell me if they say anything like that to you during office hours. I know they're upset, but this still needs to happen. You don't have to tolerate that kind of behavior.
