[ freyja nearly drops her player when she hears a familiar voice speaks up. it seemed like she was so caught up by her own thoughts that she didn't pick up the sound of footsteps.

"love will save this worldー" the music is cut off short as the hologram fades away. freyja turns around to put on a half-hearted smile at the other teen, her rune flashes blue. she isn't sure if damian has heard what she was saying before, or at least, she hoped he wasn't. it was better this way, she still doesn't know how to talk to people, much less about last month. ]

And here I thought I was by myself here. Didja come to feel the wind here, too?

[ her legs start to swing anxiously, as if she's ready to jump and run off at any given minute. ]

[He shakes his head. He's aware that he startled her, he can't quite help it. At least she didn't fall off. He jumps off his own branch and latches onto the tree she's sitting on, climbing up beside her.]

I found my... sister around here a while ago. [She wasn't his sister by the point she remembers, but that's what she is. Even if she wasn't... well, Shiva trained him since he was little, so that's another complicating factor.] I've added it to my patrol route.

[She glances down at her.]

...Are you okay? [There's a beat of about half a second before he continues...] Stupid question, I know but...

[ she files the mention of a sister for another time as she grows silent from his question. the more freyja blinks, the more watery her eyes feel.

before she answers him, she brings up her bandaged hand to wipe away the tears. ]

Remember when I talked about the Var Syndrome in the app? I guess the whole werewolf thing got me thinking 'bout it.

[ the similarities between both conditions hadn't gone unnoticed to her, between the uncontrolled aggression and the physical effects. the possible body count.

It wasn't like I never thought about how people felt after they realized what their body forced them to do because of mind control. It's- It's a lot to take when you experience it at first hand.

[ her eyes flicker back to her music player, absent-mindedly rubbing the aged electronic. her rune starts to pale until there's no color left. ]

I can't go back to town any more.
