[Human AU. During The Drama Arc.]
[Tiny doesn't quite know where she is, she just knows she's in some kind of building in Troodon Town. The air is strangely cold, and there's mist. The entire area feels hazy, she doesn't realize why.]
Tiny: [walking through the building, her footsteps echoing] Hello?
[Silence...]
Tiny: [continues walking around the building, hears the distant sounds of loud metallic clanging, making her jump briefly, before she turns and continues to walk. She suddenly finds herself in the the dining car of the dinosaur train, surrounded by broken machines, plates, and other broken objects.]
Tiny: ... Am I dreaming?
A very familiar voice, from behind her: You tell me.
Tiny: [eyes widen, heart pounding as she breaks into a cold sweat... before she turns and faces the figure with a glare] Chief.
Lorimer Latenivenatrix: [standing in the entryway of the coach] I thought you vowed you'd be better than me, little girl. What happened.
Tiny, taking a step back: Wha-
[A loud glass crack. Tiny looks down to see that she stepped on and broke a picture of herself and someone else, but the glass is too shattered to tell who.]
Lorimer: My have you regressed lately. I guess my lessons were successful after all.
Tiny: [bends down and picks up the picture frame, she fumbles trying to get the photo out] Shut up. I moved on.
Lorimer: Have you? Lately, you've been acting like that thirteen year old brat I liked so much.
Tiny: SHUT U-Ah! [Tiny cuts her finger on some glass and hisses, lifting her finger and sucking it in her mouth]
[Lorimer's footsteps draw closer.]
Lorimer: You're reckless. Brash. Angry, always angry. And lashing out without a second thought.
Tiny: I have the right to be angry!
Lorimer: Oh, I agree. Your brother got hurt, you dished out vengeance. It's only the right thing to do.
Tiny: [hands shaking as she starts pulling the picture out] ... Why are you saying this? What's your game now? And why do I feel so...?
Lorimer: This is your dream. You tell me.
Tiny: ... [Pulls out the picture, sees that it's a picture of her and Sonny during an Adventure Camp outing]
Tiny, feeling like a freight train just hit her, staggering slightly: IT WASN'T MY FAULT THIS TIME!!! HE STARTED IT!!!!
Lorimer: Oh, he sure did. And nobody stands in your way, right? You always do what needs to be done. Vengeance needed served.
Tiny, pale, tearing up: WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE-
Lorimer: [suddenly grabs her face and pulls her gaze up to his, standing so close she can feel his breath] Because I am the icon of your remorse. Where I am, your shame follows. How much did you always know you owed him? Tried to repay him? Way to undo it now.
[Lorimer throws her back. Tiny lands on the floor, sputtering as she starts processing the guilt her anger has been blinding this whole time.]
Tiny: SHUT UP!!!
Lorimer: I only speak the truth, don't I? You're indebted to him, ever since that day. And how do you repay him? Where is he now?
Tiny: [screams ferally and jumps up, aiming a punch for Lorimer's face] STOP IT!!!!
[Tiny's vision briefly blurs as contact is made. She hears the footsteps of the victim staggering back and feels the impact on her fist. But... the most horrible feeling.]
Tiny, vision clearing: Uncle Sonny!?
[Somehow, in Lorimer's place stands Sonny, visibly hurt and upset as he holds his cheek, looking at her.]
Sonny, in tears: Tiny... Why did you...?
Tiny, reaching out for him: No-
[Tiny's hand reaches for the empty air. She's in her bedroom, it's nighttime. Tiny is covered in sweat as she pants, tears streaming down her face.]
Tiny: Wh-what have I-urg!
[Tiny leaps out of the bed, trying to reach a garbage can, but she's too late, vomiting profusely from her guilt all over the floor.]
