gonna pretend this convo is after the network thread with Vanya in Buzz's post

[Woody's got a few first impressions.]

I've only met two.

Stacia's young but seems to be weathering this in a way where she's able to give comfort to other people and ask for it herself. That's a good sign she's at least got some coping skills. She offered first, though, so it seems like a situation where people need to check in in case she's not as good at asking.

[She seems like a tough cookie, though.]

And Steven is...upbeat. [He squints.] Almost too upbeat. Stacia's a little subdued, which is what you'd expect of a kid trying to survive a bad situation like this. Not that it's bad for a kid to be cheerful, or use it as a coping mechanism, but it feels a little off. Makes me wonder if he feels comfortable expressing negative things.

[A pause.]

Then there's Vanya. She admitted she was mistreated by her father and gets choked up if you're the tiniest bit kind. She's an adult but I think she might need some kindness to make up for what she should've gotten as a child.

[A special case.]
