[ The puppet show has her entranced, and she suspects no magic behind it, because -- because she remembers, the times before, her own father always so busy with his sword school business. His absences that she would complain about to mother. The same way she did the night her life turned upside down.
And it didn't end with her running away, but it ended with death nonetheless.
So in the end, the tears she sheds are her own, flowing freely from her eyes. They sting her skin in the chilly air.
A fiery resolve forms in her then; she will get to the bottom of whatever separated Cosette and her father. Of course she can't know -- she can't know if there really was that much love between them. So she has to find out.
She wipes her face with her sleeve, squeezes her eyes shut for a moment to clear her mind. Right. The only clue she has is that Matthias "felt" Cosette's presence somewhere in this bazaar. Time to look around.
Right now, the girl is nowhere to be seen. But instead, her gaze falls upon someone she recognizes from her party. Maybe they're here for the same reason. Rin steps closer. ]
Ah, hello... you're from the group that seeks the beacons, too, right?
