[He promises something again. That's good. She eventually give a slow blink, not that he'll be able to tell, with his own eyes closed.

She waits. Nothing happens. She decides to copy him some more, but that just means that nothing continues to happen. There aren't new sounds. There's no smell to draw her anywhere in particular. There's nothing. The quiet is nice, and so is the softness beneath her. It feels somewhat familiar to that part inside, but still, it feels like nothing. Why are they doing this? Why aren't they continuing, going, always, forever? Something waits to see if either the voice or Teo will explain it to her, but all she gets is more nothing. It's empty. It's gaping. What if she can't ever fill it, the way she couldn't ever fill the hungry void?

If she gets too scared...she's supposed to do something. Something can't quite remember what it was, but trying to focus through her eyes again, she wonders if the man across from her would know. He knew how to solve a lot of the problems today, or however long it's been since she's been with him. Still... He did so much for her, and she did nothing. Is that why it's like this now? Is that something...she can change? Something gives the man another slow blink before starting to push herself up.]


Ehhhv...

[Oh. Why is she so heavy? Determined, because she's been doing nothing for long enough now, she tries to throw all her efforts into it again. She doesn't stop -- that's what she knows. Something just has to keep going, even if it's hard and doesn't always make sense...

She hears a pop and comes to a stop for a moment, and there's a snap when she forces it even further. Even though it can't do anything to stop her, something notes that the other voice inside would be making a face, if she had any control over it. She doesn't have much of a face she can make right now, actually. Half of that feels a little heavier, too, but even though she's moved, there hasn't been a weight pulling her neck anywhere. That's stiff like everything else. How long has it been since the pop and snap interrupted the nothing? Was there a reason she was pushing herself? There...must be. Something reaches out to Teo to prompt him for an answer, forgetting that that arm is the only thing keeping her up now and dropping to the bed again with a bounce and a gentle sound that's almost a crunch, nose now half-smushed between her face and the mattress.

Ah. Hm. It seems she is staying for now, even though she'd already been so good and stayed still for...

...

......Hm?]
