“ you did all you could do ” // FOR NORA
“What do you mean, I did all I could do?”
hands fist in her own hair, pupils constricted --
“Oscar’s gone, Ren’s not talking to me, Jaune’s wallowing in deep self guilt, and Salem’s here, and we’re wanted by the government and --”
spiraling, spiraling -- bent half over and looking unseeing at the ground, her own future narrowing into tunnel vision-- all the negative what ifs pop into her brain, because... she ... she... she had done what? she’d done what, exactly? mantle was in shambles, the relic was gone, and --?
“aaaaah.”
...
“AAAAAAAAH!”
she shouts, then collapses face down on the ground.
“ruuuuuuby....maybe this is a dream....”
wake up, nora.
