What... still here?

Hanako puffed out as sigh as she stared at out the world beyond her den, her gaze lingering on the rain, how it greyed out the world and made it all seem so dull, lifeless. She knew she was allowed to go outside within reason, that Azure's companions would trail after her like a pair of unwelcome shadows, but when the weather was like this she wanted nothing more than to stay warm and dry. To close her eyes and blatantly ignore the mounting turmoil that stirred within her, whether she acknowledged it or not things were always going to happen. She just had to go with the flow of it all, not fight against the current lest she wear herself out for no good reason.
Still, she wasn't happy to be here, being stuck in the past. Like her paw was enveloped in quicksand, dragging her further down, faster and faster the more she struggled. So what was she supposed to do? Fall back on old habits and let life wash over her? It was bad but she didn't hate the idea, didn't entirely mourn the sense of progress she'd lost so far. Change was not a thing appreciated in these parts, the Fatalis way was set in stone and as far as everyone seemed concerned her fate had been sealed the moment she'd been brought into the fold.
If someone had told her that from the start would it have made any difference? Hanako just didn't know.
