Warning for grief and survivor’s guilt.
[name_f]Emmadine[/name_f] ’ [name_f]Emma[/name_f] ’ [name_f]Hnin[/name_f] [name_m]Han[/name_m] (18) is Liza’s new buddy and potential student-to-be at the university Liza’s attending. As much as she’s excited to go to college and to graduate next month, she’s saddened the majority of her immediate family won’t be seeing her walk to get her diploma. This bothers [name_f]Emma[/name_f] a lot because she knows this is the first time they will miss out on seeing a special event. Liza’s friend, who had also lost a sibling years prior, has also given [name_f]Emma[/name_f] support during this while also supporting [name_u]Romy[/name_u] and [name_f]Liza[/name_f]. People see Romy’s last name and jokingly ask if Emma’s full name is truly " [name_f]Emma[/name_f] Watson". It’s not - [name_f]Emma[/name_f] finds this hilarious but in actuality, she comes from Burmese origins. She loves humour and uses it to cope with what she’s gone through. She knows not having them around is devastating but she sees it like she “deserves” to be unhappy. Why did she survive the catastrophe but nobody else did? Everyone had their seatbelts buckled and nobody was being reckless so it wasn’t fair that everyone else had to lose their lives. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] doesn’t think she “deserves to die”, given she’s still adamant that nobody does, but she hates the reminder.
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] is currently making herself more available comforting [name_f]Liza[/name_f] and [name_u]Romy[/name_u] and feels she should use her second chance at survival to bring good into the world and help people. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is good friends with Anuli’s eldest child and feels a great deal of support while also having lighthearted friendly activities. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] tries to be smart and mature but her biggest weaknesses are being too hard on herself and getting worried too often. She finds Liza’s roommates like surrogate elder siblings and it’s made her more motivated to attend that college as the atmosphere is very nice. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] loves playing clarinet and is an expert at cooking traditional Burmese food, her two fave hobbies. Although [name_f]Emma[/name_f] isn’t interested in dating, she and [name_u]Romy[/name_u] are both very close. They still study and are opening back up to watching movies, but at a slower pace and not every weekend like they used to.
