Zawadi Wade

Zawadi Wade is a senior citizen living (somewhere) in the Residential District, in an apartment formally occupied by Haddie Gustavsson. She wears a Blue Neocity Poncho, carries a leveled handgun with ammunition, common leveled Aid, and rare leveled Credits.

While forwarding packages to Haddie, they became pen-pals. Zawadi believes her time is coming to an end, and tasks the player with delivering a letter to Haddie. After delivering the letter, Zawadi and Haddie can be seen talking around the district.

• A Parting Gift: Deliver an old woman's letter to her penpal.

Commentary

Her greetings include:

• "I feel like I've seen all there is to see. But hopefully I've left a few things for the next life."
• "Space used to be a lot harder on my body. Now, it's mostly time."
• "No one is born good or evil. Every day, you take a step in one of those directions."
• "The scars from the Colony War are still forming. I hope they serve as a warning, and not a cause."
• [ A Parting Gift-20?]
  "I have a pen pal in Cydonia. We've been writing to each other, the old, old fashioned way."

After [ A Parting Gift+40?]:

• "Thank you for delivering that letter to Haddie."
• "I can't believe Haddie's here! And she looks so youthful!"
• "I always knew Haddie was full of vigor and life. Her words tend to leap, no, fly off the page. Every sentence is a grav jump."

If you stop speaking mid-conversation:

• "It really is a nice day, isn't it?"
• "You have the kindest eyes."
• "Every moment is a gift. Even the awkward ones, like now."
• "Did you forget what you wanted to say? Don't worry, it'll come back to you."

She will end conversations by saying:

• "Peace be with you."
• "Until we meet again."
• "Be well."

Dialogue

[Q+490?] & [ A Parting Gift+5?] | [ A Parting Gift+50?]
Have you spoken to any medical professionals about your condition?

"Yes, and the doctors tell me I don't have long. But even so, I feel it. Not in my bones, as people are wont to say."

"I feel it in my heart. A feeling of contentment. Completion."

"Like you're about to swipe the last page on a good book, turn off the lights, and go to bed."

[ A Parting Gift+50?]
"I am glad you brought my friend here, to wish me goodnight."

I understand you may be dying.

"It's fine, child. Just as a shadow cannot exist without light, death is merely proof that a person has lived."

"I lived a life in three parts. The first, was full of discovery. The second, contemplation."

"And now comes the third act, where I will finally rest."

...	Player	Response
	[Starborn?] Everything that was will be born again. Including you.	[QE490] Ah, so you have seen the light, and have returned safely. This gives me comfort, knowing I will see my friend again.
	I'm sorry to hear that.	[QE490]There is no need to apologize, child, for what is natural. I must take my leave, so that another can enter.
	I would've liked more time to get to know you better.	[QE490]Blessed child, your time is too valuable for someone like me. You have only so many minutes in your life. Guard them fiercely. Give them sparingly. But when you meet someone who truly matters, then do not be frugal.
	No surprise there. You've got to be close to a hundred.	[QE490]Haha, not quite, but I admit, I have spent many years in the sun, and not enough sitting down. I feel like I'm only now making up for lost time.

--

Can you tell me about your life?

"I'm close to eighty years old, so I will spare you the long version, haha. "

[QE480] "To put it simply, I lived, and I loved. And really, does a person need anything else?"

...	Player	Response
	[Chef?] You forgot good food. Everyone needs that.	Of course! How could I forget? Maybe it's because I tried eating Chunks the other day, and nearly swore off food forever. But it was refreshing to know that even at my age, I can still make very, very bad mistakes.
	Well yeah, I sure as hell do.	Ha, and when you get those things will you be content? Or will you suffer, wanting more? Perhaps the key to a healthy life is to treasure what you already have.
	To live and love is more than enough.	I agree. Some would say it is not enough, but if that were true, I would not be at peace.
	Life's okay, but I could do with a few more credits.	Couldn't we all. But I think you'll find that a few more credits will not make you happy. A lot of credits, maybe. But only because it gives you the time to find what really makes you happy.

What brings you out here?

"Just enjoying the view. These days, my favorite thing to do is sit and listen."

"The wind, the trees, they all have their own language. Sometimes, they even sing."

--

[Q+480?] Do you have any advice for me?

"You don't need my advice. You're alive, and you've survived everything that comes with that title."

"Which is to say, you are an achievement. A gift. Never forget that."
