I Guess Caring Was Inevitable. *locked from nosy children - but not Dari cause Dari is cool*
I guess I've been running on a policy of ignorance.
I guess I've been running.
Everything with Dawn, and her family, and what happened to me with them I just sort of try not to think about. Ever. Unless I have to. (See: bullshit time travel powers.) It's been easy to pretend that once I got ... out, it all just sort of stopped. But it didn't.
There's a little girl out there who looks like me. I think I know what that means. It's ... she's always been a thing I've kind of been aware of? We've met twice now. Once was a mess, and I just sort of pushed the whole thing out of my head after it happened because I didn't want to be involved. I'm sure she's fine. Nice. She's definitely got friends who seem to care about her.
But I couldn't care. I had to work really hard at not caring because she just reminds me of things he said to me when we were alone.
But it's everywhere now. Dawn's dead. Dawn made promises to me and I sort of trusted her? I mostly trusted her because it was easier than fighting it, but it was still a trust. If I didn't have to see her very often, the job was actually pretty cool.
But now there's a guy with Garret's last name in her office, and he's got those same eyes, and ... I can't.
I think I probably know the answers to somebody's questions.
But I don't really want to think about it unless it's going to make it go away for good this time.
