what if reader went missing isntead of javi, nat would spiral enough to actually believe lotties juju
THIS IS SO SAD she would increasingly become more and more desperate as it turned to winter and then as winger kept coming that’s when she would start to believe lottie’s stuff but in the back of her mind she knew that it was illogical for you to be alive and everytime lottie was like “she’s alive” nat wanted to believe her SO bad but she just couldn’t she just couldn’t keep getting her hopes up only to come back empty handed each day then she eventually just accepts it and stops looking for you
and when you finally come back??? OH MY GODDDDD SHES SO GUILTY!!!!! no matter if you are or aren’t talking she just keeps imagining you freezing in the cold without her and she’s SICK
she’s just constantly holding you and fussing over you and asking if you’re warm even if she doesn’t know if she’ll get an answer
she will literally have a death grip on you the entire night and probably has to sleep with her head on your chest or just some way she can hear your heartbeat and remind herself that you’re here and not dead
and if by some miracle you manage to roll away from her whether on purpose or accidentally she’ll just randomly wake up and like freak out until she rolls over and finds you again
“y-you can’t do that. you have to stay with me. i can’t… i can’t feel like i’ve lost you again, okay?”
