[A pause, and then she nods, as if deciding something.] Things have changed for the better.

[Her eyes tilt up to the sky. It's gray today too, but it seems less dismal than the morning she'd fallen from the tree. This gray seems calm, almost peaceful...] If you've changed, maybe your friend will change too. [And here she smiles.] I think so.
