open / @valpostart where / on the ferris wheel at da festival
she regrets ever going on this ferris wheel. or trying to be outgoing and going on it with someone she didn't know very well. it was fun, until the big metal death circle came to a grinding halt when they let one person off and just ... never started back up again. ximena's breathing is still even but her nerves show in the way she wrings her hands together, cringing away from the edge of the gondola. of course they ended up at the top, " um — wow, we're really high up, aren't we ? " a pause, " we won't die up here, right ? i think i just figured out i have a fear of heights. "
