[ It has been nice. Weirdly nice. Like a dream from another life they didn't get to have. It was a little strange to be enjoying an imposition this much.
But there's really no vacation from reality long or surreal enough that hearing Luci sound like that wouldn't have her up in an instant. It's worse than just the scent of blood. She can feel it, pooling thick and sticky. Her world turns momentarily senseless, as all of her therapy and practice tells her to control her breathing, to remember that this isn't real, while one by one her senses confirm the horror show around her.
She turns to look at Luci, and her horrible vacant expression somehow becomes something worse. Her mouth is moving, like maybe she's trying to scream, but the only noise that comes out is something soft and stuttered. ]
