β¬ β @mouffete asked : β pauvre petit ! how has settling in treating you so far ? I have been hearing that your first day was, ah... rough. β
IT COMES AND GOES. the fear. the dread. the weight that crushes her every single time she's reminded that she's forever in this β this agonizing cage. there's no time nor logic nor a single drop of NORMALITY and it eats at her , god , does it eat her alive. settling in ? like a cinderblock to the skull. like quicksand.
no exit. no exit. it's a chant in her mind , perfectly underlined with that same jingle in the background. her eyes burn. sometimes she closes them and sees AFTERIMAGES of the structures , the colors too vibrant for her to bear.
understatement. she holds onto the question , but it's just a reminder of this reality. she feels her heart shatter , thinking about it again. words are like bracken water at the back of her throat. the room feels so much smaller.
β itβs . . . everything is so loud. and bright. itβs everything- and itβs not even th-the worst part about all of this. β she wanted to scream. she finds she can't. sheβd just scare the stranger away. but at least it's someone new. another face , but another prisoner nonetheless. β this can't be it. but β but it is and i have to look at it all every single day- ! β
she does hug herself then. tight. she trembles , curls up like a pillbug. let her cave in on herself , let her constrict into nothing. β i want to go home , a-and i don't even know what or . . . where home is. β
how can you miss something you barely remember ? a void in your heart , in your head ?
β p-people have been . . . nice. β she sighs.
