the air is tense, an apparently common feeling deep underground, but it’s thickened tenfold today. people aren’t looking at her. people can’t stop looking at her. she wants to claw her skin off, though she knows all that will do is place her back deeply under the hospital’s watchful eye - the bracelet around her wrist BURNS like a brand. ( mentally unbalanced… poor mad girl… mad mermaid… crazy cresta ) johanna’s face keeps her mind from skittering away, grabs and holds her to the present whether she wants it to or not. something CATCHES in annie’s chest, a fist wrapping around her heart and pulling hard. she shouldn’t have fallen asleep, she shouldn’t have. but she’s been so exhausted lately. nausea lurks in the back of her throat, like an old friend. “ what? ” her voice is tight, brittle, but there’s a note of resignation to it. “ johanna what is it? ”
