❛❛ jeepers, you have no idea, nat. ❜❜ daphne rubs at the soreness behind her eyes –– it’s like an itch, a sensation of sickness numbing everything the socket touches. she dreads to think what she even looks like right now, her hair a mess and her skin dry and flaking. at night, she still sleeps with her make-up bag next to her, like it’s the answer to her problems. ❛❛ well, I guess you probably do, ❜❜ she amends, offering her a small, weary smile.
❛❛ I feel bad about this morning... I didn’t mean to scream so loud. ❜❜ a cute little fun fact she’d never hoped to explain about herself was the paralysis that came in the morning, with dawn, or in the night, as the pitch-black descended and her eyes fluttered open to find a horned man at the foot of her bed, long sickly-fingers reaching for her. daphne had woken up everyone and their mother with her frenetic cries for help. could still feel everyone eyeing her like any moment now, she’d start screaming again. ❛❛ there’s only so much misty’s herbal tea can do, you know? ugh, I miss you, modern medicine. ❜❜
