It all happened in what felt like an instant. Her arm raising and shattering the glass of the mirror, watching her reflection fall into broken fragments and make hollow noises against the floor until nothing was staring back at her but the grey backboard.
Stunned, it took several moments before she felt the blood trickling down her hand in an almost alarming gush, over her neatly polished and well maintained fingers. Then she was running--
Down the stairs out of the house, going to the one person who she thought might understand. Away from the family that thought she should be nothing but proud.
Her reflection just reminded her; all that she'd done, all that she'd lost.
It wasn't a few minutes later and she was rapping on Cutter's door with her non-bloodied hand, stepping back and looking up at him with an expression that she only hoped he would interpret as she cradled her injury.
"Can you help me with this?.."
