Reflections of Regret [cw: PTSD, gun violence, potentially suicidal ideation] It's the sound of a gunfight that catches Steph's attention as she passes the mirror. She looks first towards the window, but the sound that continues to echo as it bounces between brick walls is very clearly coming from the mirror. Inside is a downward view of an intersection of alleyways, where a dozen or so bodies lie once the bullets stop flying.
Steph is frozen in place, as frozen as she always is when she has this dream, begging her body to move, to do something, to turn to the woman next to her and ask for help.
She can only stand and stare, wide-eyed, as the color drains from her face.
Blood-Stained Amulets Steph will be the first to admit that she doesn't know what she's looking for. But she looks, through ADI and Bonnie's, seeking out anything that seems out of place. She pauses when she smells something strange. What is that? It smells like...
Blood.
Suddenly Steph is furious. She hasn't gotten so far as wondering why she's furious, but that's never really stopped her from throwing a punch before. Which is exactly what she does to the next person she sees.
