[Lina was used to the sight, but not as used to it as she would've liked by now. still, she had the good sense not to pull a face, even if she had to look away as Jen actually removed her prosthesis. she stayed silent for a moment after, then looked up at her roommate again.]

I know I'm... how I am, but if I actually wanted to stop trying, I would've by now.

[that... she didn't have to explain that. hopefully. the anger that had led her into this part conversation seemed to have burned away entirely; she just sounded tired. serious and sincere, but tired. this was actually some therapy shit, and she definitely wasn't just talking about Natalia anymore.]

I don't know if it's because I have something to prove or what. Maybe I'm just a coward. But I'm not going to give up like that.
