[Sadly they are dead. One by her own fair hand (at that time) and others too. But this...this was meant to be for them. She was meant to stop Jack to stop him from killing all the others who remained.]
They're dead! [Another futile burst of anger at something she's sure is there.] They're dead. Stupid stupid stupid!

[There are always other futures, one where she saw Karkat and Terezi's dead bodies in pools of blood but she doesn't know about that one. But to her they're dead. They're dead because she didn't stop Jack like she was supposed to.
Because he's here. He's here, he found them and he killed them all and she couldn't stop him and now he'll look for John and by extension John's friends.]
It is! I was meant to stop him! [She lashes out again, attacking air and something solid - she doesn't know what it is, anything in her mind could be jack, streetlights, people, trees.]

[Her hands clench tighter before the left relaxes - the fluorite octet are clutched tight in the right, tight enough to cut her palm but she doesn't feel it, merely registers a sting and then something damp and sticky starting to ooze.]
I was meant to...I was the strongest! I was going to fight him and maybe I was going to die but this wasn't meant to happen. He wasn't meant to kill them.
Fuck. Stupid fucking idiot! Dammit! I was weak!
[She stops there because fuck. Fuck that hits hard.]

You're not weak. You're not weak and he isn't real -- it's a hallucination, Vriska, it's meant to break you. Don't give in.
[ She stops then, because what if when this is all over, Vriska remembers her words and this starts all over -- "I should have known, I was weak" -- and she's the cause? ]

[It's hard to fight what's in your own head and Vriska's feelings get the better of her at the best of times. She does stop, does blink but then she catches a flash in the corner of her eye and jerks to follow it.]
I still have to beat him. Even if it doesn't matter anymore.

[A grunt is all the acknowledgement Rebecca receives as Vriska flinches. To her, a blade just cut along her arm, ripping open her hoodie sleeve and the flesh beneath, more blood spilling out.
But it's not real, not to anyone who can see her but it feels real, far too real and her stomach flips and clenches painfully.]
[ She runs as fast as she can, dodging anyone who might try and grab her, who might think she's a foe created by their mind. Once she gets to Vriska's house, she looks around, trying not to panic. Where is she? ]
[ She's pretty sure, anyway. ]

[ She knows what it's like to hallucinate to this level, but she doesn't know what to do to help her, at least not like this. ]
Vriska, it's not your fault.

You did! It's a trick. Someone's playing a trick on all of us.

[She gestures violently and oh god...oh god Kanaya, Kanaya with a a ragged gash cut right through her because Vriska couldn't do a damn thing.]
He...he won...

[ It hurts, god, it hurts to watch her like this. ]
Vriska, tell me what happened.
[ Maybe if she can get her to talk to her, to tell her what 'happened', maybe that will help. ]

[ Rebecca doesn't want to see her get hurt. ]
Please-- At least tell me where you are.

[Hell where is she? She looks around, blinking.]
Near my respi- near the building I stay in. It's dangerous. He'll kill you too. Probably.

[ She's grabbing things before she decides to fuck it and just go -- anything she needs can be dreamed up this time. ]
