or get too attached.

I'm just saying it

for your sake.

You okay?

Do you like your new room?

Another girl..

Another girl

used to live here, but..

..She left.

Well, we we can talk

about that another time.

Did you try any of

your new clothes on?

Do you wanna go

and buy some more?

Do you want to have

a quick wash?

No.

Okay, well..

..That doesn't matter.

Dinner will be ready

in about an hour,

If you want to go outside

for a breath of fresh air.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Just looking out the window.

Do you want

a glass of water?

Can't you sleep?

I don't know.

Tell me if you're too hot,

or you're too cold,

Or you need, ah,

thinner blankets.

if you're frightened,

You can come in

and sleep with us.

Or I can come in

and sleep here with you,

If you prefer.

Okay.

Good night, then.

It was a long war.

They didn't fight

like we do nowadays.

Look at those weapons.

What do you call

that long blade with the handle?

See the soldier

standing up

In the center of the picture?

Don't worry, neve.

You've only missed

the first few days.

You'll soon catch up.

Shush.

I haven't heard the bell yet.

It's a sword.

A sword.

Okay?

Turn to the next page..

morons, you stink!

Morons.

Eww!

I thought it might be nice

If we ate lunch together

from time to time.

Just the two of us.

What do you think?

And what about

the other children?

Are they nice?

I don't know.

And is everything going okay

with nat and lucas?

And ryan and lucy,

do you get on?

Oh, you're still very sad.

That's normal.

Do you want to talk

about your parents

And your brother?

Not necessarily about

what happened.

We can talk about before.

Your own memories.

Did I tell you

about the day

I ate all the caviar

My parents had put aside

for an important dinner?

Do you know

what caviar is?

Ow!

Neve.

Are you okay, sweetheart?

Is something the matter?

Tell me.

They're silly, aren't they?

When I'm finished

with these two,

I'll give you a bath, okay?

But not with them,

Because you're a big girl

now.

Is is lucas home yet?

That's enough, you two.

Come on, now.

You know, neve,

you really must have a wash.

I've left towels and soap

in your room,

But you haven't touched them.

It's been too long now,

really.

It can't go on like this.

It can't.

I I'll help you.

Okay.

Head back so it doesn't

sting your eyes.

Your'e it!

You be it.

Come on, kids.

Come on, stop fooling around,

you need to get dressed now.

Lucy, you.. Ryan!

he didn't touch me!

Neve?

Neve?

What is going on?

I can't have this.

I'm sorry, neve.

This is ridiculous.

Come on, get up.

Stand up.

Neve..

No!

Come on.

Neve, the water is not clean.
