Summary
There are so many things AJ wants to say. Wants to air her own grievances, her own abscesses in the shape of the note passed around the student body of her deed. Her tongue feels like lead. The air is stagnant and cold. For one of the first times in her life, she finds herself speechless. Stunned in the abject horror of losing any ground.
AJ is so utterly fucked it makes her head spin.
“So… what happens now?” She dares to ask, flashing a toothy grin. Osteon raises a brow, and straightens in his chair.
—
Drift is in danger. AJ decided to intervene.

Summary
Drift shuts her eyes, squeeze her mouth shut. Goes through every stage of grief in about a minute from AJ’s guess. Then she groans, so deep and loud it makes AJ’s ears ring.
“Alright. Okay. Cool. This is how we’re doing it, huh? Sure, fine.”
Drift rolls onto her back, stares up at the ceiling with careful consideration. AJ watched the way she thinks, the way she nibbles at her lip, her eyes flickering as she sorts through each option weighing on her. They lie like that for what feels like hours, Drift looking up, thoughts circling around her head, AJ watching it all in silent revelry. Then, slowly, she rolls back, grabs back AJ’s gaze with conviction. AJ gulps.
“Two lies. One truth.”
