"Mama? It's me. Jane. I'm home."

"No."

"RUN!"

"Breathe."

"RUN!"

"Three to the right, four to the left."

"Breathe."

"Sunflower."

"Rainbow."

"Three to the right."

"RUN!"

"Four fifty."

"RUN!"

"Rainbow."

"Three to the right."

"RUN!"

El rips the blindfold off her eyes in panic, her breathing heavy and uneven. As she is brought back to reality she looks up at her mother in her rocking chair. There are tears in her eyes and she is sadly uttering the same words.

"Run. Breathe. Sunflower. Rainbow. Three to the right. Four to the left."

As she feels a pair of arms wrap gently around her, she finally notes the trembling down her spine—the rapid rise and fall of her shoulders. She feels a hand grab hers and immediately recognizes it as Y/n's. It is a comforting gesture for El to squeeze her hand and Y/n shows her support by gently tracing circles with her thumb.

El savors the warmth of Y/n's embrace and the security of their interlocked hands, and it helps to still her quaking body and soothe her anxiousness.

She sits in silence, embracing the support presented to her as she tries to calm her racing heart. For a while, no one speaks, and only her mother's murmurs are heard.

"And it just kept repeating?" Becky asks.

The three had returned to the kitchen, Becky and El sitting across from one another while Y/n stood leaning against the counter behind El, a glass of water in hand. El frowned at the foreign word.

"Repeat?"

"Like a circle?" Becky answered. "Just showing you the same image over and over?"

El thought about this, and her eyes glanced in Y/n's direction without moving her head.

"She kept showing the woman. And the girl in the room."

"The rainbow room?"

El nodded, flinching ever so slightly at the invasion of the flashback. A memory that wasn't hers, trapped in her mind.
