[7rings] catchall for grace

im crying. im canonblind. give me that sweet sweet cr so i know what kind of images to look for for visuals

Mm... right now, no. When I first woke up, it felt like there was something pressing down on me for hours, but...

[she waves a hand]

It's over now! It's all over. I never have to think about any of that ever again.

[that's a lie, she'll have nightmares about it.]

[ grace understands going haha what trauma and so she nods ]

More than over, you're completely healed and it's a cube now. So let's talk about something else! [ so smooth ] You can't get drunk, but at least there's fresh air here now. That's something, right?

It is, it is! And it's really beautiful here.

[she smiles and waves a hand at the flowers.]

It almost feels like we're outdoors.

It'd be kind of nice if we could be. [ pensive as she leans and looks at the flowers ] A lot of people think we're deep in space, though, so I guess a walk outside isn't an option.

I guess not... that's a shame. It—

[literally i've just been rnging for whether or not the memory comes up each tag, and well, it's time.

except it's not just a single memory. it's dozens of them, one after another in quick succession, and in some cases it's difficult to tell where one ends and one begins. even the things she can't consciously remember because they were too long ago, or because she was too young at the time, come through crystal clear.

fear and terror builds and builds, as time passes, and it lingers when they come out of it. shi qingxuan sits there, frozen, her face drained of color.]

[ grace looks shocked, seeing through the dozens upon dozens of memories all at once. she waits until the fear as lingered out of her (for the most part-- she feels her hand shaking still) before reaching into her pocket and looking at her phone ]

Um, wow, look at that? I got a text and I have to go now? Thanks for the conversation Shi I'll talk to you later!

[ she'd planned on doing it from the start, figure out a way to get a memory without sharing one back, but this is somehow the worse option! wow! bye!!! she marches right on out of there. ]

[ although, later, sqx will receive a text: ]

I won't tell anyone. Don't worry.

[i'm still cackling over the idea of grace just immediately peacing out after seeing sqx's trauma

anyway, grace gets a text back a little bit after that: ]

thank you
