cw: voices

( at first, there's a quick look of panic to hear her father wincing, but it melts away when he settles next to her. shit. what if he is getting worse while they're sitting here? but she is also afraid to move him too. maybe she can venture off around the beach and seek for help, although... would it be wise to leave him alone in this condition? maybe it's better to just follow silco's lead, because only he knows how well he's faring and what he's feeling. but it won't be long until she craves food again and that will be an annoyance on its own.

but being attentive to his words and his thoughts, it becomes a little clearer to her that maybe her mind wasn't twisted by thinking vi might had been drawn to mizuki due to the likeness after all. sure, vi was here alone, mizuki was here, and they became friends. she'd be squared away with that if that was it. but was them living together really necessary? the rooms weren't crowded until recently, after all. even when jinx explained her frustration to why them living together bothered her, vi didn't seem to get it. family stick together, they live together, and yet they're not living together like families should be. instead, she is with this girl and the enforcer in the same damn room... with her snuggling up against caitlyn or mizuki or both -- while she's been alone with her endless nightmares.

and it's true, vi did throw the suggestion of all four of them to live together, but why is she an afterthought of this whole ordeal? like silco said, she is her little sister. mizuki came before her, fine. but she and caitlyn both got here at the same time, so why did she picked caitlyn over her? why does she keep picking people before her?

'because you're different.'

the voice sounded similar to mylo's but mixed with some unknown one too. and it's that comment alone that has all her meekness and uncertainty dissolve, and mold into the fire her father use to see a lot in her eyes. and speaking of them, they glisten pretty heavily as she stares off into the ocean -- leaning a little further into silco with her forearm to his. jinx doesn't reply back to any of his questions, not that she can answer them anyway.
