Octavia starts recalling their memories when they were teenagers. She cannot help but have flashes of good memories with them. 

"Several women throw at her weirdly enough because those traits of her being quietly mysterious and not talking much—I envy that side of her, but I'm the very opposite side of it," Octavia said, giving Katarina some peace of information at her like in a teased way.

"Octavia, I am all aware that she's like that, and I don't mind at all; I see Oliv in my own very ways," Katarina clarifies. 

"I understand her and her past, and as you also mentioned, she's not Olivine the way she used to before," Katarina is emphasizing. 

"Well, I don't blame her, why she's like that. Considering she loved her wife that much and suddenly taken away from her quickly," Katarina showed a more understanding side for her as Octavia continues teasing in a good way. 

"If you wanted to know more about her, go to her best friend, Otara. I don't like to talk to her; she's like a zombie to me; she matches Olivine's freak mind," she giggles, shaking her head.

"Anyways jokes aside, but the good thing is you see my cousin in your own ways, Katarina... and by that, I really admire you," Octavia complimented, looking down. 

"We lost all of our parents in a single snap, and some of us can't handle the tragic event," Octavia paused. 

"The most affected members are the younger siblings, also those who are only children. We stopped teasing and bullying each other after the incident, knowing her. I also have a younger sibling just like her," Octavia said, Katarina simply listening to her. 

"I'm so sorry, Octavia," Katarina replied. 

"Me too, Katarina; life is very unfair in so many ways," she added.

"Can I say something?" Katarina held her arm. Octavia is surprised looking at it. 

"I'm sorry what Olivine did to you; that time you checked my bruises, and thank you for not pressing charges on it." Katarina looked at her sincerely. 

"Sure, I consider Olivine on that, so let's continue, shall we?" she said, pointing where to sign. 

Looking at Katarina, she starts checking and reads a few of the papers presented. 

"And kindly, please sign it here," Octavia said, giving instructions and taking a closer look at the papers. 

"I also want to inform you that all these are all original copies. I need to file it immediately," she said. 

"Apologies, I came here unannounced," she said, giving a warm smile to her. 
 
After Octavia pulled the last paper document, she showed them to her.

"Katarina, now everything is completely signed; I am happy to give this to you." Octavia placed the last piece of paper in front of her. 

Katarina held it and paused in confusion, looking at her, then she started reading it. While she reads it, her tears start showing in her eyelids. And it dropped quickly before she blinks, giving her the tears of joy afterwards. Octavia started comforting, and she hugged her tight. 

"Oh god! Thank you so much," Katarina whispered, hugging her tight even more. She tried to contain her excitement, but it overwhelmed her. Wiping her tears running on her cheeks while she has a smile on her face—a tears of joy that almost cost her life. 

"Okay... okay... I think we should stop; might she see us?" Octavia said, gently tapping her back to avoid more conflicts. 

"I'll explain what's going on if she sees us." Katarina released herself, wiping her tears filled with joy knowing she's finally free from him.
