[ she covers her mouth to cough again, no more petals, thankfully. and she nods, a slight frown on her face. ]

We've seen it a lot, the ones who wake up after curfew...they try to wait it out or fend each other off as long as they can.

[ closes her eyes and takes a breath, sighing. ]

Marie and Buzen did...Percy and Chang Geng...and I'm sure the others as well. It's a scary thing to have to face, for both parties involved. [ looks at jiuqing, expression soft again. ]

I know you'd do the same, even if the other person insisted on just getting it over with, you'd do your best to fight the compulsion.



[ me like, i want to add more to this but my brain is soup ]

[...no more petals. whew, okay. jiuqing has figured out that the petals only happen when you're not acknowledging or trying to suppress things, so - better to get it out.]

...I would try to, that's true.

[her voice is small.]

I don't want to hurt anyone. And if I do end up succumbing, I would want someone to stop me, or to catch me.
