I Agree. Thats What I Try To Do As The Magpie. Be Something They Cant Ignore And Make Them Think. Just

“I agree. That’s what I try to do as the Magpie. Be something they can’t ignore and make them think. Just make them think if that mentality’s such a good thing and everything else about the COG. That and so that no one like Jean suffers dying alone.”

She feels that a burden had been lifted as her secrets and heart’s open. To find someone in her situation who doesn’t fit into the mentality. To pour out her vulnerability in an environment where she’s not afraid to say it. It’s a relief to get all the stones out of her stomach.

“I think that’s a valid thing to feel. You don’t know how they’re gonna react. You care for him, and you’re scared to never see him again right? So that’s normal to think that. I used to be scared shitless thinking of Jean rejecting me.”

 “I don’t know enough about him so I couldn’t give you an answer. But I know he cares. He wants to make things better. So I think there’s that chance. I didn’t get the chance to tell Jean how I felt. But you do, and I think you should tell him.”

“And I’m willing to help with that, if you’ll allow me to.”

“Start over my darling. Be brave enough to find the life you want, and courageous enough to chase it.”

“It’s ok I’m pretty sure you had no intention of getting stabbed tonight,” She assures. “Just be a little more careful next time.”

“But yeah. It was difficult. I spent a lot of time trying to hide who I was and making sure nobody knew about it. I spent a lot of time avoiding people after that. I started thinking that I was cursed, that if anyone started caring and loving me then they’d get hurt too.”

“Hence,” She continued as she used the back of her sleeve to wipe the prosthetic makeup on her face. It revealed burns she had suffered from that night. “Why I graduated in Prosthetic Makeup Effects in college.” 

She also took out the contact lens in her eye, and it revealed a dull black colored eye contrasting the other eye, one that had vibrant blues swirling. It wasn’t a matter of showing the full extent, but rather that the contact in her eye was starting to bug her to an extent that couldn’t be ignored as she slides the contact back into a case.

“I have more of these on my left arm, but I won’t bore you with that,” She concludes as she pulls out her own phone, offering it to him.

“What should I do about Jason though? If you dad comes I mean.”

She breaks out in a chuckle. “I hope so too.” Internally she hoped the same thing, a plan to come up with. 

But before she starts to leave, she reaches out to him again placing a hand on his shoulder. “Hey. Thanks for telling me the truth. That means a lot to me. I want you to know that.”

She finds he’s the bravest person alive right now. Having this talk, seeing him spill his vulnerability out in front of her and having herself do the same for him. Even though it was draining, it was definitely worth this outcome. To find someone she could relate to. Together right now, they’re probably the bravest people alive right now.
