reallyaduckSo what if Pique and Lilie were making a really scary face when they told her about the Prodding Bridge? There couldn't really be a mean ghost that threw people in the water -
- okay, sometimes there really were mean ghosts around town, but Pique and Lilie said people went to the bridge to ask questions all the time! So there wasn't anything to be worried about.
"Nothing to be scared of," she chants to herself, her feet keeping time as she marches along the cobblestones, "nothing to be scared of -"
But she knows that's not really true. Mytho hasn't been back to school in days and days, ever since he got the most recent heartshard back. He could be really suffering, and it could be her fault. And that's sure something to be scared of . . .
(And so is the idea of giving up her pendant and going back to being a duck forever.)
That's a different kind of scary than ghosts, though.
"I just want to be sure I know what I should do!"

Quietly: "I am still far from having loved him enough."
She walks away.

Her hand hovers over her pendant, not quite clutching at it.
But I'm just a bird, so something like that . . .
Duck thinks she cares about Mytho . . . she might even say she loved him. But there's something almost scary in Rue's face when she talks about loving Mytho that goes far, far beyond what Duck has ever felt - or what she can even understand.
Maybe it's not even being Princess Tutu that's the hard part. Maybe just this whole being a person thing has Duck in way over her head.
