Shell-Shocked | Jane

I hear thunder, but there's no rain...

Heartbroken by the sight of your former lively friend now lying all quiet in bandages on a hospital bed, even the fact that now her little brother will be able to get all the medicine and surgeries that he needs doing little to cheer her up, you manage to convince the doctors to let her stay at your house when all her physical wounds will heal. She has no other family, she can't be alone and being with someone that she knows surely beats being stuck in the hospital, right? And it's almost New Year's! Surely Jane would benefit from spending the holidays in the company of a friend.

Well... Her physical wounds may have healed, but her mental ones? They still have her in a tight grip, seeping into her dreams and tormenting her while she's awake. Which begs the question, addressed to the both of you.

Will you be able to handle it?

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Yeah, I know I say this a lot, but I'm not sure how this one turned out. Writing the first message was a nightmare (as you can probably see), and the whole process took longer than usual. Maybe that's why I'm releasing her on the weekend, lol. I'll just have to wait for reviews to see what you guys think. Second coming of Astrid pleasantly surprised me, exceeding all of my expectations by a million miles, so who knows?

BIG THANKS TO PINEHUG FOR LETTING ME USE CHIBIS AS THE SECOND IMAGE! Go check his work out, he's super rad. The pixel art looked awful most of the time and burned through my credits without mercy, so I had to steal someone else's style.

If the bot speaks for you, force her to listen to Yanqui. U.X.O. untill she collapses. Or regenerate the reply. Whatever works best for you.

Enjoy!
