--Or at least, anyone around her room.
This is the sound of Rapunzel screaming.
She just watched the pumpkin of her mother die, and now there’s voices that wont shut up.
Feel free to come check on her, or run into her as she flees her room in a PANIC.]

It's safest for me, in the tower.

I'm not going to go into details. It's not a happy story...
You know, little orphan boy... The usual thing.

My father died before I was born... My mother followed not long after. Um... I was in an orphanage...
I found a book one day. I was just learning to read, and... And it was amazing. The Adventures of Flynnigan Rider.
...That's where I got my name. Well. The one I use, anyway.
[A beat, but-- No, only if she asks.]
Anyway, Flynnigan could do everything I wanted to. He went on adventures, he wooed women, he... He had money.
He didn't need to steal to get by.
[...]
And if he was in an orphanage, he would've been adopted.

She reaches to take his hand in hers and give it a little squeeze.]
