During the Outburst Incident (Zia’s incident, curtesy of @handlelevine60!) she ran away. Yup. Just fucked… ALLLLL the way off.
So this post that you’re seeing here is like an aftermath to this in a way!
*During the Outburst Incident, and where Lu ran tf away to*
Lu: *Heavy panting and sobbing, running away as fast as she can* Need to find somewhere to hide… need to… *huff* to… contact Father… n-need to… … to…
*Lu slowed down and found a safe space to sit herself down*
Lu: *Sigh of relief* Need t-to… to rest… I can contact Father when I’m more calm.
*As Lu sat to catch her breath and calm herself down, she began to hear familiar footsteps. And when she looked up…*
Cypher: LuLu? Are you okay?
Lu: … *Snf* … *Hic* … CYE!!!
*Cypher sat down next to her, and Lu instantly hugged her the moment she did. Cypher hugged her back immediately on pure instinct. She comforted her younger cousin for a while, before giving her time to breathe and regain composure*
Cypher: Are you calmer now?
Lu: A little bit. My sincerest gratitude, dear Cypher.
Cypher: Not a problem, Lu. Now, what’s going on? Why are you on the floor? And why were you crying?
Lu: It’s Zia… she’s having an outburst… and- and- … and- and TCF Agents are in the process of containing her…
Lu: Yeah… I wanted to contact Father about it because he was very worried about where she could’ve been… but I don’t have a mobile phone or anything…
Cypher: I don’t either. But worry not! I can take you to my Mama and Papa and they can contact MAD for you! Does that sound good?
Lu: Yeah. That sounds good to me!
Cypher: Awesome! Let’s go!
*Cypher helps Lu up, and they both make their way to her house*
(And that is how Cypher found out about what happened with Zia during the time that she was missing!)
