The weeks following her time in the arena have truly been the hardest that Elsa had ever experienced in her entire life. Not even losing her parents had been as painful as the knowledge that she had killed Anna. All of her life, she had avoided her sister in order to keep her safe and yet when she finally felt like she could be around Anna without hurting her. She had been wrong- her powers had returned and everything had gone horribly wrong.

Ever since then, she'd done exactly as she had her entire life; shut herself in her room and keep everyone out. It was painful and lonely, but she knew it was what she deserved for hurting Anna.

But even those who felt like they were monsters grew restless sometimes and as the days ticked by, Elsa found herself wanting to get out and explore a little. This world was new and foreign and her brief glimpses of it before had been intriguing. The technology was confusing but fascinating all at once.

Finally, the curiosity got the better of her. Late one night, after the noise outside died down and it seemed like everyone had retired for the night, Elsa made her way out of her room. It was too late for her to want to leave the building entirely, so she opted instead to go somewhere she thought she could get a small taste of what she wanted.

So eventually, she made it to the roof. It was the first breath of fresh air she'd had in weeks as she stepped out into the cool night air. Elsa stepped forward until she was near the edge of the building. The view was absolutely breathtaking, she could hardly believe what she was seeing. It was so different from Arendelle, with it's lights and large buildings- to be honest, it was a little overwhelming on top of beautiful.

Suddenly Elsa felt really small and alone. She wrapped her arms around herself and let out a small sigh, closing her eyes. There was no sense in missing Arendelle. She didn't belong there now- if they knew she had killed Anna, then they would shun her- or worse. In her opinion, now she belonged here. With the murderers and the monsters, because that was exactly what she was. If anyone deserved to go back to Arendelle, it was Anna.

Elsa continued to stare out at the twinkling, colorful lights of the Capitol, arms folded over her chest. As horrible as she'd started to feel, she didn't have any particular urge to go back to her room at the moment. So she allowed herself to zone out, imagining what each of the buildings might have in them. So lost in her thoughts, anyone could come upon her and she wouldn't notice.

If Anna was nothing else, she was very persistent. And stubborn. The little time they had spent together before everything happened in the arena? It was enough to remind her how things used to be- what little she remembered about it.

"I can't sleep," she admitted quietly. "I don't want to leave you here either."

She knows she shouldn't push Elsa anymore, but she can't help it. They need to talk... they need to not avoid each other like she's been doing her whole life. And she can't take it anymore.

Nor did she realize that she'd just said all of that out loud. Oops. Well, no time like the present to bring these things up...

Anna has an uncanny ability to push buttons harder than she should. Fists clenching and grasping at her pajamas, she frowned and took another very small step forward. She wouldn't cry, she wouldn't let this get to her....

Except a few tears were starting to brim at the corners of her eyes. "I can't handle not seeing you, Elsa... You're one of the few people I know here, that I can trust. Please-- What happened at the Arena, it was an accident... and it was all my fault."
