⠀⠀⠀⠀wonderful . now ˒ i'm afraid i must leave you . i need to finish this bottle before attending to my morning shift ﹙...﹚

[✧ 𝕞𝕠𝕚𝕣𝕒 @foircean]

you are a hypocrite .

[ the last word is spoken with hatred . she can name it because she knows it to be true . another betrayal guised as benevolence . she sneers , the accusatory finger falling . ]

you are a hypocrite & you belong in overwatch . do not lament to me .

[✧ 𝕞𝕠𝕚𝕣𝕒 @foircean]

hah !

[ an indignant laugh erupts from the elder , her marred hand snapping back to her side . she takes a step backwards , then folds her arms across her chest . of course ! the arrogance , the pride — she was not their only possessor . if angela possessed the audacity ↘︎

pride for a single moment ! you come to me like this , feigning concern , & demand I whisk you away to the shadows so that none may bear witness .

[ it is a pattern of behaviour that has gone on for years —dr . ziegler preserving her own reputation while destroying hers . ] ↘︎

⠀⠀⠀⠀my vices should not be a surprise ˒ all things considering . a cherry depressant is simply sweeter than coffee at the moment .

[✧ 𝕞𝕠𝕚𝕣𝕒 @foircean]

. . . I see . personally , I find coffee to be a better stimulant than a cherry depressant . you surprise me , doctor .

⠀⠀⠀⠀já . something to stave off the exhaustion ˒ considering some of us do not sleep consistently .

a sleeve covers up to her wrist , but the hand alone is a twisted , scarred & rotting thing — the cells degenerate & regenerate at an equal pace . blackened & purple veins spread from her wrist , diving under an engineered mechanic nestled in her palm . ]

go on then .

[ she nearly parrots the word back , but it dies upon her tongue : ‘suffering’ . another bold claim . endless nights spent under the fluorescents of a laboratory , progress made , discoveries unfurled from strands of mnra - reduced to a pathetic , single word . ] ↘︎

The rabbit will not flee from the fox; she meets her head-on with practiced calmness, restraint, and kindness.
