Post-Masquerade Psyche
After the horrific turn-out at the masquerade, and her evidently incompetent response during and after the fact, she was beyond conflicted. She carried on for a week, maybe two; right after the hospital dismissed her, she returned to the underground lair to input as much of her genius into the digital systems of the agency in an attempt to catch up with the culprits.
She pushed, and pushed, pretended she did not live the trauma first hand, pretended that she did not lag in the midst of the fire, pretended that she did not need to be saved... until she couldn’t any longer.
She shut down, and shut everyone out.
She locked herself up in her apartment, puppeteered by her fear, engulfed by her demons, and tortured by her nightmares.
It’s been a month since she had last set foot in headquarters, but perhaps it’s time to set things straight once more.
[ Little does she know, that she owes her neighbour and friend @spxjonghyun for having explained her situation to the agency after checking on her. ]
