"I'd figure just lookin' around you would prove that." It's not said with any sarcasm or humour; just a simple statement of fact. Susan sighs, and her smile is a little sadder as she looks down at her beer. She knows, after all, how it feels to be alone. Maybe that's why they're all here, in the end - her and Nadine and Eponine, and for all she knows, Lloyd and Julie too. (Flagg, out of respect for Roland's warning, is shunted off the list of possibilities. She does have some loyalty left.) Maybe they've all just been on their own too much. Not that surprising, really, from what she's heard of Nadine's world. Still, it's a shock to the system to find that she, who's always thought of herself as more or less alone, is the one here who's had the most people on her side. At least she had her father for a time, even if he was gone too soon. At least she knows what love's supposed to look like.

She has a sneaking suspicion, the longer she stays with them, that she might be the only one here who does.

"People need people." She can't think what else to say, but to agree. "I just wish she'd quit pushing 'em away. Ye ken?"
