I just hope it ends before it drives us all crazy.

I know.

[ continues to hold ]

Me too. Trust me, you aren't the only one who's scared.

Still... if you end up resembling the guy in your visions, that's still a positive for you, isn't it?

...I don't really know what's a positive for me anymore. I just know that I've been scared and angry, all the time, for weeks. And that I'm so sick of it, and so sick of taking it out on everyone, and so sick of feeling this way...except it's not going anywhere.

But seeing those visions helps you with it, doesn't it?

Honestly? They help me with getting used to everything being terrible. And with seeing how vision guy thinks in super scary situations.

I don't know if that's a good thing. It just seems like a better thing than being useless to everyone. Or worse.

Then I guess what I mean is - if you were to become more like him, are there at least some positives you could get from it?

[ oh ]

...yeah, there are. You're thinking about yours?

...

I can't think of a single positive trait from my guy.

[ holds tight ]

You really don't have to keep looking at them.

...I guess I figured, he seemed so normal, even if his thoughts occasionally messed with me... at least I could still catch them and remind myself, you know?

But if he's not human... I don't know if I want to risk that when I don't even know what he is.

He's not Snow. That's more than enough reason to cut him out, if you ask me.

Yeah. ...But I'd also be the only one in the family holding off of them, I think.

It just sounds kind of lonely in its own way, too.

[And pathetic, but he's not saying that part out loud.]

[ quiet a long moment. then, ]

If you ever decide you've had enough, or just want a break? I'd stop with you.

-?!

...Are you sure?

I'm 100% sure.

...You really, really don't mind it?

[ laughs and kisses him ]

I really don't mind it. I'd pick you over some fake vision guy any day of the week. Even if it's my vision guy.

And it's probably good for me to take breaks from all the visions of getting stabbed, poisoned, or drowned, with how much of it's happening for real.

[Oh, kissu. Pausing to return it.]

Well, when you put it that way...

You'd basically be doing me a favor.

Now you're just trying to make it sound kinder than it is.

Who, me?

Of course, of course.

You've always been kind in that way.

No, I think you're thinking of someone else.

But, for real — I mean it. If you ever have enough, we stop.
