[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. ]
