( @zydrations ) ∎ no, that medicine beeping thing of yours means you should probably go. do you even know what part of town we're in?
he's right — she knows it, as medicine reminder beeps repetitively, demanding attention. the world that surrounds is strange, unrecognizable, only bits & pieces look like that of what she's seen on t.v., the air breathed in carrying an unfamiliar burn. hastily, she searches through bag's stuff for pill bottle, knowing it's only a matter of time before her dad's scolding voice rings out. almost able to count down the seconds, “ it's fine, ” spoken after her gulp, quickly washing down the pill with nothing. attention turned back to the man, eyes flashing with brief panic that bleeds into a lingering nervousness. maybe trust is misplaced in this stranger, but it feels safer than being alone. “ can we keep going? there's so much i haven't seen yet. please? ”
