This, Cosima, this is true tragedy.
Her expression sobers a little, then, softens, and Ruby chews the inside of her cheek. "I actually arrived the same time as a friend, so that helped. I was kind of focused on trying to get involved so I could help Emma, and... make a good impression while she was sorting some personal stuff out." The effort to smile doesn't make it too far. "She disappeared, though. I, um. I actually went on a bunch of trips and expeditions looking for her or for clues but came up with exactly nothing, so... it was really hard, after that. Working helped."
