[In hindsight, she's at least grateful for the statues. Without them, her train of thought would have likely concluded the Queen had abducted two persons of some importance, and erased their memory of them. She can't confirm or deny whether the latter is true, but the statues would not be there if the bodies they represented were still in the castle.

Whoever they were, they're not here. There's no one to rescue, just someone to move on from.

Rin doesn't like being angry for long. She doesn't like that deep hurt of grieving. If it's painful, wouldn't life be better learning your lesson and getting on with it?

Since Leo showed up, she feels a bit more like her productive self again. Missions in the castle are getting back underway, and lining out a clear purpose. Seeing a chance to start fresh, Rin began March with the goal of cheering herself up. She cooked exciting things. Secretly made a birthday cake for her sister. While looking for a change of bedsheets, she stumbled across those old unfinished Christmas projects too and set to completing them, spending all of today delivering them and clearing those metaphorical cobwebs out of her heart.

The skates she finished as well. Bringing them here was the last task she had set for herself to bring this chapter to a close. It's hurt her long enough already, she feels entitled to some measure of selfish catharsis. Using a wind spell, she moves around the faint layers of dust that have begun to settle in the room, so that they might brush against the ice skates as well. Make them look like they've always belonged here.]
