Raven & OTA
Raven did a lot of reflecting as she watched the fire. She mostly thought about what was going on back home, and all the horrible things she and her friends had been through. It was only natural that she would choose to come to this place over the hell back home. This seemed like a much healthier way to deal with her pain, both physical and mental, than whatever it was Jaha was preaching back at Arkadia.
She was grateful to take the paradise offer instead. Besides, everything was so messed up at home. Her friends were pretty scattered. Then there were those making horrible decisions that could only spell trouble for everyone else. She got out at the right time, it seemed. Sitting around at a bonfire still reminded her of her time on the ground when she first arrived. Bonfires were pretty much their only source of light and warmth at night. This place wasn't all that different in some ways. Back home, they were basically rebuilding a new society, just like here.
Only here, there wasn't so much death, destruction, and heartache. She'd had enough of all of those things for one lifetime...and she was only nineteen. Yeah, she was definitely looking at this new place as chance to start over.
