Poor Licorice: she can't be trusted. (Or did she just remember where she put her spear?)
Licorice is looking for happiness. She doesn't know where to find it, she just knows it's not here.
It will take her many years to figure out she had it within her all along.
I agree. But now we must ask where Licorice could have took off to in such a hurry and why, and what that could entail for Tanya.
She's afraid if she doesn't leave, she will be stuck there forever. Sometimes you've got to go.
