It's much easier now, even if certain images will never leave her head, she knows they never happened.
At least, she knows why they happened now. How things changed, why she was stuck there...and she knows that her dad's not dead and that Chase isn't a terrorist.
She still hasn't been spending much time in the bar, but she might go down at some point.
Slowly she's been able to get used to being around people again - but she craves silence more than she ever has before.
'You know the man in that chair wasn't your dad, stop thinking about him,' she commands her mind, but it's no use, she doesn't think she'll ever be able to erase that memory.
He looked at her not with fear but with resignation and the man standing near her, his hand touched her hair and she'd wanted to run but she couldn't move and...
'Stop thinking about it. It's not real. It didn't happen. Stop.'
She holds a few strands of hair in front of her eyes, looking at the color and hating it all over again. 'Need to get hair dye,' she thinks.

Date: 2005-05-28 08:24 pm (UTC)"I was probably just going for a run. It's funny, because when I tried to go see you earlier, you weren't in your room either."
He leans on the doorframe. "Can I come in?"

Date: 2005-05-29 08:28 pm (UTC)He closes the door quietly behind him. "Remember what?"

Date: 2005-05-29 08:58 pm (UTC)"What really happened."
no subject
Date: 2005-05-29 09:14 pm (UTC)Chase can't pretend he hasn't been insanely curious about that, but he hangs back, not wanting to upset her by asking her to retell it. "Do you want to talk about it?"
no subject
Date: 2005-05-29 09:22 pm (UTC)She realizes he misunderstood, "No, I mean...I know what really happened."
no subject
Date: 2005-05-29 09:34 pm (UTC)Is there a way Kim could maybe not tell Chase right now? Because he's been in a cheerful mood for the past two days, but if he found out that the alternate universe stuff was all his fault, massive amounts of breakage would naturally ensue. :)]
"Do you mean...how the alternate universe got to be there?"

Date: 2005-05-29 10:02 pm (UTC)He exhales with relief, gently touching her shoulder. "I'm glad," he says softly. He can't imagine how horrible it must have been to think that all the evil things that happened there were real.

Date: 2005-05-30 03:43 am (UTC)She looks at herself in the mirror, still checking her body for phantom bruises. 'They aren't there, they're healed, move on...'
After changing she re-enters the bedroom.

"Goodnight."
