[at least Violet doesn't outright hate her, maybe. Lina's personally making deliveries to each of her sisters on this, the last day of November, and there's only going to be one sister left after this. she doesn't... expect Violet to even be there, but either way, after she knocks on the door on this Friday evening, she's not around when it opens. instead there are two tupperware containers, one with turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes, and one with a slice of pumpkin pie and a note on the lid.]

brought the main dish.

i love you. <3

[ for all violet knows, lina's phone has been off all month, but before long she'll be sending a text. ]

thx
love u 2

1/14

[breakingvoice]

[well. better late than never.]

i hate that it's easier to talk about my problems to other people than it is to my family
i'm sorry
i wish i knew what was wrong with me

[babysplice]

i don't think it matters that much
what's specifically wrong i mean
sorry things have been bad

[breakingvoice]

this is going to sound stupid but
i feel like i don't know who i am anymore

[babysplice]

?

[breakingvoice]

yeah, see.

i remember things from Two's life
but i also remember this... other Lina. who wasn't on good terms with anyone in the family. she fought with Clover constantly.
and it's that Lina that got to be friends with Jen and May and all the people i talked about when i freaked out in the gc earlier.

i don't want to forget her but i might be going too far to try to remember who she was. but i think all this was there before her, too, but it was never this bad. and i just

when did i get like this?

[babysplice]

would you rather be her?

[breakingvoice]

[there's a typing bubble for a few seconds. it disappears and reappears at least three times before it finally goes constant.]

no.
but i think i know the big difference between her and me and sometimes i wonder if i want that.

i don't think she ever got adopted.

[babysplice]

?
do u want 2 be unadopted?

[ gosh, james and lily would be heartbroken... ]

[breakingvoice]

the damage is already done
it's not going to make anything better

maybe i just don't know who i am because i don't know how many of you actually still think i'm a geteilt
i don't know
i'm being dramatic i'm sorry i'll stop

[babysplice]

[ oh. things fall into place so neatly she can almost hear the "click." it's like the perfect tetris block has just appeared.

also violet literally doesn't even read the last line? she forgot how to read, who cares. ]

ah

i didnt know it felt like damage to you



we would still be family even if you had moved to the moon instead of the next neihgborhood

& you would still be a geteilt even if none of us thought you were
& tbh even if you didnt want to be



fwiw
i dont think your efforts were wasted
but you didn't need to try so hard

[breakingvoice]

[it's not the sister she wants saying it but she doesn't think Clover will ever say it quite so plainly. if at all, now. the first part of the message, about the damage, is something she wants to defend herself against, but she can't form the words after reading the rest. it just. it takes her a second.]

violet you're going to make me cry

1/25ish I guess

[nachetanya]

So are you still on this app?

Oh, it didn't bounce so probably. I just got back on myself

[ Mysterious Heroine Q, that is, if the usernames show in these DMs. Oh well, hello vi ]

[babysplice]

ah
your highness

im on this app once in a while

[nachetanya]

I think I was removed for a bit, actually! Hence my asking!

It's a bit of a blur to me since sometime in December

[babysplice]

oh same
but thats just how it is sometimes
for me

did u die

[nachetanya]

... No?

Did other people?

[babysplice]

yeah
it's the hot new trend
zc told me all about it

[nachetanya]

oh.

Oh Mr. Carlisle! He's back? Wow.

[babysplice]

y & he got powers
he said its super easy and rad
which tbh
was irresponsible of him

[nachetanya]

the powers or the telling people? I'm not sure which one is bad . . . ?

[babysplice]

he shouldve been clearer
that real winners always say no 2 dying & being dead

[nachetanya]

Can I get a recording of you saying that?

For your campaign for mayor, of course

[babysplice]

[ after it's been exactly the amount of time it takes to record and send that voice memo, Natalia receives it!

Violet also sets it as her new voice mail greeting. ]
