            {  carrie  gives  a  slight  jump  at  the  energy  exuding  from  her  friend  in  what  could  only  be  comparable  to  a  shockwave,   blinking  rapidly  as  though  centering  herself  in  whatever  reality  she's  somehow  landed  herself  in.  }    i  am  not  intentionally  doubting  you,   gina,   but  i  don't  think  people  will  abandon  the  'crazy'  title  so  easily.   {  nor  does  she  think  popularity  can  work  out  for  someone  who  has  never  had  a  civil  conversation  with  half  their  peers,  but  carrie  doesn't  get  the  chance  to  say  as  much  before  she's  being  pulled  from  the  bed.  }   oh— !!   i,  um...  my  face ??    what  is  wrong  with  my  face ??

            exACTLY!!   [  gina's voice breaks into a growl, her hands gently tapping carrie's shoulders with excitement. ]   yes i do!  and with my help, you're  /gonna/  be popular. ooooh i'm so excited riri. of course it's gonna be a lot of work but don't worry!   i'm determined to succeed.   [  with that, gina bounces to her feet and grabs carrie's hands, yanking her up from the bed. ]   let me see you. hair, clothes, face, shoes, nails…   where do we start?

            {  it's  easy  to  forget  what  it  looks  like  from  the  outside,  being  the  beholder  of  what  little  she  does  feel  she  has  accomplished  rather  than  being  the  hand  behind  the  craft.   there's  always  something  more  to  be  done,   always  a  crack  to  be  filled  or  a  problem  to  solve.   and  at  the  core  of  it,  sickeningly  enough,   is  her.   she  could  have  searched  earlier,   could  have  chosen  to  fight  instead  of  hide  from  visions  that  scared  her  but  ultimately  never  targeted  her.   she  could  have  protected  them  from  the  start,   could  have  kept  gina  from  suffering  for  years  if  she  had  simply  tried  harder.   gina,  so  bold  and  confident  and  glistening,   the  world  at  the  tip  of  a  perfectly  manicured  finger  and  waiting  for  her  to  take  it  by  storm  before  the  ground  fell  out  beneath  her.   the  guilt,   endless.   the  pain,   primed  for  her  best  friend.  }    that  is  you.    {  she  corrects,   one  hand  smoothing  over  the  blonde's  arm  as  she  pulls  her  into  a  side-hug.   }    you  have  done  so  much  for  them,   gina.   you  were  the  sister  griffin  needed,  and  if  i  know  finney,   you  are  part  of  why  he  is  still  fighting.   i  *know*  he  is  still  fighting.

            but i have.   [  next to carrie, gina looks like the weakest person to ever walk the earth. carrie, who has harnessed so much power and worked relentlessly to understand herself, to use her power for good, despite the burden it can hold sometimes. gina, who out of jealousy, contributed to the crazy carrie narrative. gina, who had flashes of moments that she couldn't explain. hauntings that remind her she could have protected griffin, robin, and her dear finney. she could have found them sooner. for too long, she stayed in her own bubble. wasn't it high time for that bubble to pop? ]    i mean, just look at you. you're the strongest person i've ever met, ever riri!   i could've done so much more if i had just—   [  her head dips into a defeated shake. ]   i'm worried about finney, carrie. i'm so— i'm scared.

            gina.   {  firm  as  carrie  tries  to  be  the  slight  tremble  to  her  voice  still  cracks  through,  fear  of  the  known  finally  overcoming  her  worry  of  shadows  in  the  dark.   the  door  is  nearly  closed,   the  time  for  hesitation  out  the  window  despite  how  those  little  prickles  of  fear  rise  along  the  back  of  her  neck.  }    gwen  needs  someone  who  understands.   she  needs  you  here,   okay?   i—  i'll  be  back,   i  will.   ( .. )    i  love  you.

            what, riri- what are you—  [  gina chokes back her tears, eyes darting around with a mix of confusion and terror. she can't even process what's happening until carrie already has her backed into a wall. her hands are on the door. everything unfolds too quickly.  no. no no no. ]    carrie don't do this, please. let me help, i wanna help you i—   [  her hand flies over her mouth to catch a sob, her other hand reaching out to grip partly, the door, mostly, carrie's hand. ]    no, no. we can fight this better together. carrie…
