— race to the finish
everything happening before her feels like a nightmare.
gelatin limbs force themselves to move as the jilted, disjointed world rocks slightly and her ears ring with something beyond the sounds of screams, curses and destruction; nonetheless, the girl pushes on, trying to swallow the taste of acid in her mouth. she doesn't know when she starts clinging onto soojung's hand, or when the crowds become such a force that she loses sight of the x-men and fellow mutants they had come to the city with--all she manages is to notice all of this, far, far too late.
trying to find them would be a waste of time--it doesn't take much thought to realise this.
"do you want to find them?" she asks soojung, voice stupidly quiet amidst the cacophony. repeats, louder--but not without a tremor--"if you want to go find them... go."
