E-Escape:
Imagination and bravery.
Both were Rosette's strong points, and both had helped her and Joshua come to terms with what had happened to their parents, and where they were now. There wasn't anything wrong with the orphanage, it was the label that came with it: orphan. No parents, just caretakers who did their best to take a parent's place, and siblings that would one day leave and change their last name forever.
Her bravery led Joshua and reminded him of the sister he had, his last remaining family. She could see him growing weaker everyday from things that she couldn't control so she had to be brave, both for him and for herself.
Her imagination brought Joshua out of his depression and into a world neither one of them had seen. She would tell him stories, and play pretend with him and the other children of the orphanage who were very much like them, yet so different. The blonde did her best to make sure that Joshua saw as much as the world as he could both of this one and the one no adult could see, all with a smile on her face.
And then Chrno came.
The demon came into the sibling's lives and showed the two of them that Rosette's stories were in fact real and she couldn't have been happier. Now Joshua could have something different from the others back at the orphanage, he could live a life no one else would in the short time he would have on earth and see things that others hadn't even dreamed of.
Yes, Chrno was an escape.
When she was with him, it felt like she was in an entirely different world, like something from a book. He gave adventure to their lives, and helped Rosette realize that there was something out there more then the life she had come from; there was a bigger world just waiting for her to come and change it.
Though out the days and weeks that the trio hung out with one another, the more Rosette noticed a chance in Joshua. He started to speak of the future more, and of the adventures he wanted to go on with Rosette when the two got older. Good or bad Rosette didn't know, especially since his fits had been more intense. He wanted to do so many things in life and yet there were days where he couldn't even keep up with her and Chrno.
It was a rash reality that she was going to have to face sooner or later: Joshua's body could give out randomly, any day. She tried not to think about it, and, for some reason, it always bothered her the least when she was around Chrno and Joshua. Chrno gave her hope that her brother would survive, she had no idea why, he just did. Maybe it was his smile or the way he told stories, or maybe it was because he promised a better future by simply existing.
R&R please!
