i feel like we ignore the fact that canonically scully flirts by talking about weird and rare medical conditions that may have been suffered by deceased individuals. like the woman is morbid and weird and i think we do not emphasize enough how not-at-all-normal she is. if at any point she’s acting like a normal girl she’s probably just faking it because she’s learned to disguise how weird and morbid she is with most of the world in order to fit in
