Fine. [ The response is a reflex, automatic. Lifeless. This place finally well and truly broke her. ]

[coinstar]

That wasn't even a little believable.

[sangreine]

Well I can't afford to try and say the truth, because I'll never stop screaming. So you're getting the unbelievable lie.

[coinstar]

If you need to scream that's fine. Let it out.

[sangreine]

If one scream would get it out, I'd have done it.

...Being up there must have been awful.

[coinstar]

It was hard not being able to do anything. Watching you two have to take on mystery punishments was rough.

[sangreine]

At least for me, I'd take on almost every punishment there is if you and Doctor would have been safe. I would have wanted to keep Dia from them too, but she's quick when she wants to be. And I did promise to make these decisions with the rest of you.

[coinstar]

It's weirdly something I appreciate but also struggle to accept. Dia did down those first pills quickly, I was shocked. Still, I'm glad we're sticking to trying to discuss as a unit in these situations. Well, as best we can anyways.

[sangreine]

...You should know that if it came down to it, if you and Doctor were about to drown or boil or whatever, I'd have done what I had to do no matter what.

[ There's only so much willpower she has ]

[coinstar]

I know you would. If it had been the other way around I'd have done the same for you.

[sangreine]

[ She looks about to say something very dumb and very stubborn, but instead her eyelids flutter and she stumbles, half falling before she rights herself, swaying on her feet. ]

I think I need to get back to the dorm.

[coinstar]

[reaching out to steady her if need be]

Right, let's get out of here.

[sangreine]

[ uh one tiny thing ]

So you're not shocked later, when I get like this it means I need blood. Doctor's going to give me a transfusion, I don't think I could stomach drinking from a donor.

[coinstar]

Got it. Well, let's get you somewhere comfortable then.

[sangreine]

Mm. I'm going.

[ She's -- trying. Mostly she's stumbling and grabbing at his arm. (Usually she's incredibly graceful, this is a dramatic change. She's also cool to the touch.) ]

Sorry.

[coinstar]

Nope, you're fine. You're gonna lean on me, OK?

[shifting to wrap an arm around her so she can be supported more easily]

[sangreine]

Okay. Thanks.

[ No complaints. Also he's warm which is nice, she's not used to being cold. ]

Of course they had to pull me into this game a whole ten seconds after being unchained. Good thing there was no fighting.
