SHE STILL FEELS LIKE SHE'S IN A FOG. like nothing is real, somewhere between awake and a dream. she spent most of the morning being poked and prodded for the millionth time while they all spoke in hushed tones, everyone dancing around an uncomfortable truth. they sent someone into the room who gave her some pamphlets and assured her that she would remember ⏤ in pieces, in time, when she's ready. told her not to push it, not to be too hard on herself. but how could she not be? how could she sit in the car with them and drive down streets that don't feel familiar and feel okay with any of this? and she doesn't want to know how they feel about it all. if they're upset with her for not being able to remember anything about them. they walk into an apartment they tell her is hers, but it feels just as unfamiliar as everything else. but the first thing she does is shower and raid the closet and change into clothes that must be her own. when she walks out into the kitchen and sees they're still there, lexi doesn't really know what to do. "you don't have to stay," she says quietly, "i'll be okay, i'll just get some sleep."
