Hi. You don't know me, mostly because I've been in hiding and moping intensely since the purge (don't judge, it took my mom away and basically broke my dad).
I'm Kat. Yes, I'm hella young, but I'm also one of the smartest d'ast people here. Not even bragging. I was raised and taught by Rocket, and I'm biologically the daughter of Tony flarkin' Stark. Brains are kinda a given there.
ANYWAY.
Don't beat yourself up over the purge. At all. I've been studying the gem a lot since it sent my mom back, cos I wanna try to fix it. I know people will come and go, but these purges have to stop. I don't want anyone else to hurt like I'm hurting.
Annnnd I digressed again. Anyway. My whole point is that there's no rhyme or reason to who gets yanked or when. If the gem was gonna bring you here, it was gonna do it regardless of who, if anyone, was sent away. There's (sadly) not much about the gem and how it works that I'm 100% sure of yet, but this? I'm sure of.
