Her friends would still like her. Probably. This was fine.

"I don't need everybody to like me," she said. Not a lie, exactly. But...well....she did need some people to like her. Or at least talk to her. She hated being alone. The one good thing about the Room was that she had never been alone. Maybe that's how she could help. "Do...you want company?"


If that was true, Turov was leaps and bounds ahead of some of these other kids. Nem had even known several adults who were desperate to be liked by absolutely everyone, and as some of those had actually taught in this place, they had been fighting a losing battle from the start. All too often, Nem had seen kids' faces fall at the very idea that someone might not like them; they'd found it fascinating to witness back when they were a kid too, when it was a new discovery. By now, it had long since lost its entertainment value, but would never outlive its use.

"I don't mind, as long as you don't start asking about my summer," they said, glancing at the second year who was also hovering on the threshold. Nem moved away from the doors, and instead perched on a trunk that was waiting to be carried to whatever dormitory. "We'll be hustled inside sooner or later, I don't doubt."
