conversations.value:  “No.” May clung to Claire, who stumbled, at which point Aleah tackled her. “Run away.”
conversations.prefix: May:

conversations.value:  “Run away…” At some point in time, the rules to our tag game had changed, and May and Aleah had become “it” together, both chasing Claire. You can’t underestimate kids. They had boundless energy.

conversations.value:  Claire had smiled at first, but they had rapidly exhausted her. She was really relying on the reserves built up by her years of training in self-defense and ballroom dancing.

conversations.value:  “Let’s take a break, girls." I called out to them. I had been making snacks in the kitchen since they left me out. I had tea in a pitcher, and my plan was to entice them with sweets.

conversations.value:  “We want this…” The girls had already grown attached to Claire. I struggled to pretend not to be jealous.

conversations.value:  “Aleah, you mustn’t call people ‘this,'" Claire says, crouching before them like I had taught her.
conversations.prefix: Claire:

conversations.prefix: Aleah:

conversations.prefix: Claire:

conversations.value:  “Polite?”
conversations.prefix: Aleah:

conversations.value:  “That’s right. People shouldn’t be treated as objects. Treating them poorly is just as shameful as not wearing clothes.”
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  I was sure the girls didn’t understand everything Claire was saying to them, but Aleah nodded in response anyway.
conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.value:  “Then what do I call you?” Aleah asked.
conversations.prefix: Aleah:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “We don’t know your name.”
conversations.prefix: May:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  Oh dear. They were right. I didn’t remember telling them our names. Due to their circumstances, we had completely forgotten that formality. “I am Claire. She is Rae.”
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “Let’s be friends, both of you.”
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  They nodded—far less tentatively than before.
conversations.prefix: Aleah and May:

conversations.value:  “Then let’s play tag again.”
conversations.prefix: Claire:

conversations.value:  “Huh? Miss Claire, are you all right? You look so tired.”
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “I’m not, no—but apply some of your recovery magic and I’ll be fine.”
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  I hadn’t thought of that. I quickly cast some of the requested water magic on Claire, and her body rejuvenated.
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “Claire, are you okay?”
conversations.prefix: Aleah:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “Can you still play?”
conversations.prefix: May:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “I can! This time, I’m going to chase you. You better run, run away!” The girls took off, and Claire pelted after them.
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “They look like they’re having so much fun…” I murmured. It was a simple game, but the girls seemed to be having the time of their lives. Their expressions were still completely void of emotion, but there was something lighter in the air that made me suspect they were feeling better. They probably enjoyed Claire’s reactions. I certainly understood that feeling. In that case, I would set up the snacks and let them play as much as they wanted.
