Summary: Lucy makes a decision.
Disclaimer: All I own is a computer.
There's no blood upon her.
Normally she hates blood. Normally she washes her stained undergarments with only her fingertips.
Normally she fears blood and what its appearance represents: destruction by another human.
Today she fears its absence. Because it means creation rather than destruction.
She no longer wants to create, not when her fellow artist isn't her husband. Not when her internal wounds still gush blood.
After washing her undergarments with only her fingertips - not that she needs to, not that they'll be used again, but maintaining cleanliness is a habit engraved into her rent soul - Lucy visits the apothecary.
