Today made one thing very clear—Katherine can’t keep living like this.
Sarah’s tests ██████ ██ ███████ ████ █████ ████ ██ ███. █████ ███ ██████ ███ ████ ████████ ███ ███’█ ██████. █████ █████ ███ ████ ████████ ███ █████’█ ████. ███ ████ ██████—it’s always there, gnawing at her. I don’t blame her for being terrified. I would be too. Even if we could say, “Oh, she’ll be fine! A diet of raw meat and she’ll be right as rain,” she’d still be stuck ██████ █ ████████ █████ ████ ████’█ ███ ███. It’d drive her mad.
So, I started working on something. █ ██████.
Nothing complicated (yet). Just something small. █ ███████. █ ██████. Something that could help Katherine control what she takes in when she █████—█████ ███ ████████, ████ ███ ████████, █████ ████ ████ ███ ██████ █ ███. Of course, her ability—her gift—to ███ ████ ██████ ████ █████ ███ ████ ████ ████ ████—that’s powerful. I don’t want to take that away from her. But I want her to be able to choose when and where it happens.
I spent my afternoon ██████████ ██ ███████ ███ ███ █████, █████████ ██████ ██ █████ ██████ █ █████ ████. This is... tricky █████. █████ ██ ██████, ████. There’s a reason █████ ████ █████ █████, but proper █████████ ███ █████ types like us steer clear. Trying to tame it is like trying to catch smoke in your hands. And once you’ve caught it? Try writing down what it feels like.
But I think I’m close.
Katherine sat with me while I worked. She didn’t say much, just watched. Quietly. Maybe... hopefully.
████████, █’██ ███ ███ █████ █████ ██ ███ ██████.
For her sake, I really hope it works.
