she swallows hard, saliva pooling in the bottom of her mouth. lucy can't tell if it's nausea or something worse. perhaps it's disgust— not directed toward zosia, of course. all disgust has been internalized. it's nice to feel something other than pure happiness for once after a long, long time.

there are times he misses it, of course, but he misses the connection of the hive. there was something nice in knowing you weren't alone. now lucy's disconnected, floating away into the vastness of space once again. she's done it once before. she'll deal with the loneliness again.

all she had known was who lucy was during the hive, the contrast could be stark and even with the words of assurance that are directed towards her. she wonders if there's a lingering effect of the connection she shared and if her feelings towards her will change without the promise of the hive guiding her.

i wanted you. repeats in her mind, it's clear and void of hesitation, unlike it was when she said it as part of the hive and she wants to believe it because of her own selfish desires that reign over her. she wasn't prepared to be alone again when the hive betrayed her for their final time and she wasn't prepared to face it now that lucy had the option to leave on her own and find more.

brown eyes soften at the request and nods, "of course you can, i don't need you to do anything. it's an adjustment for both of us, i want you here." she had done more than enough throughout her time as her chaperone, gone above and beyond to please her. there was no obligation for lucy to stay, those that were released from the hive had had a guarantee of homes and assets without a second thought as compensation for the toll being part of the collective had on their individual bodies.

this home wasn't zosia's, but the person that owned it would never return to collect it after their passing with the joining, with lucy it started to feel like hers. "you can sleep in the bedroom or the guest bedroom, your choice. i only want to know you're safe." it was all that mattered to her now, she couldn't guarantee anything else, but if she was here, she could try to stop it from happening again.
