Tina grew up thinking that hijacking was just a story.
It’s not until she’s seventeen that she reconsiders all her dusty opinions and half-formed opinions, with warier eyes.
When Tina is seventeen, Quinn is eighteen, and starts going to therapy. Quinn says it’s so she can start moving on, and initially, it’s an optimistic thing for the two of them.
At the fourth month, the changes are the most prominent. Quinn gets thinner, in a dangerous way. Her eyes hold no emotion; she becomes quieter, and withdraws from Tina. They don’t end their relationship, but saying that it continues doesn’t feel appropriate.
Tina starts to relearn everything that she assumed about hijacking when she’s eighteen, and Quinn gets worse; when Quinn starts forgetting even the simplest things. Tina watches, and tries to understand.
The lines of reality and illusion start to blur, and Quinn doesn’t even realize it; doesn’t even realize that she’s living in a haze.
Until she’s twenty-three, and Quinn is just a shade over twenty-four, Tina watches Quinn slip further and further into a fabled madness, and it never stops hurting.
When Quinn is twenty-four, she’s buried with a small ceremony. Doctors blame it on a rare blood condition, or a weakened immune system and an otherwise-tolerable virus, or whatever they think will assuage whoever they’re talking to.
From the day when Quinn Fabray, so young and so damaged, is buried, Tina stops believing in the innocence of fiction.
