SECOND ♫ ( VIDEO ).

[fabraylous]

♫ Sunday is gloomy... ♫

[ she knows the PCD is on, having done that herself and setting it aside to record. the song is cliché and very rachel berry, in her opinion, which is why she selected it; something from memory that fits with what she's feeling. rachel was always in favor of singing about it and this is quinn's way of coping. perhaps

[ Here Quinn. Another teenager almost as scared as you. ]

Don't force yourself. I lost a friend at home and -- I haven't said my farewell until now. And she's not even coming back so -

[fabraylous]

[ under normal circumstances, quinn might've mocked and belittled that sentiment, but right now... ]

I'm sorry -- for your loss. This really sucks.

[notsohefty]

Are you a friend of Rachel's?

[fabraylous]

[ friend. before this happened, quinn would've denied it like she already had to others here who had asked, claiming rachel was simply someone she went to high school with. her perceptions have shifted, and the blonde nods. ]

Yeah. I am.

[serenadesdragon]

That was beautiful, Quinn.

[fabraylous]

Thank you.

[ a beat, then: ] It's Billie Holiday.

[serenadesdragon]

I'm sure Rachel would have loved it.

[fabraylous]

[ quinn nods, then falls silent. a few moments later, however, something occurs to her and she speaks up, again. ]

We should sing something. All of us. When she gets back, if what they say is true. Just to sing and do something normal for a change.

It's a very beautiful song. [She smiles, but somewhat sadly.] But it sounds like you're singing because of something sad. [She can't put it into better words than that; but the emotion in Quinn's voice isn't faked.]

Do you want to talk about it awhile?

[Video] sorry for the tl;dr!

[fabraylous]

[ the offer sounds so much like something rachel would offer that it causes a whole new wave of tears to flood her eyes, and quinn has to turn away from the screen for a moment to get herself under control. she knows rachel's going to be back, but it's such a foreign thought and she half doesn't believe it, almost like a child being told their dog ran away and will come back one day to placate them and avoid telling them it got hit by a car. regardless of what happens, she saw rachel dead and that was hard to see. it hurt, and it make quinn regret all the times she was mean to her after quinn stood up to negi after he took a jab at her to hit a little too close to home after the events of last year.

when quinn turns back to the screen, she's still wiping at her eyes. ] My friend was killed during the... whatever that was.

[ be patient with her, usagi. quinn's not very good at talking about her feelings. she's more of the bottle, mask, and avoid type. ]

[Video] never apologize for deliciousness

[buntails]

[Her eyes fill with sympathy instantly.] I'm so sorry. You must be feeling terrible.

I don't know if they told you yet, but she'll come back. I know it doesn't really make it better, but it helps, a little, I think. You can look forward to seeing her again.

[Video] ♥

[fabraylous]

They told me. They keep saying that, but it seems so... impossible.

[ don't get her wrong, quinn wanted rachel to be alive again. quinn fabray actually wanted to see rachel berry again, despite all the mean, horrible things she's done to the girl out of pettiness and jealousy. it's the concept of resurrection without divine intervention that's completely mind-boggling to her. ]

[thewinterdoe]

Then don't. {Her tone isn't cruel.} She will be back before you know it. Make sure you have a few smiles for her when she does, hm?

{Video}

[fabraylous]

How long does it usually take for someone to come back in this place?

[fabraylous]

Yeah. I was.

[fabraylous]

[ a sniffle. ]

Thank you, Willow.
