Notes: For [personal profile] shipwreck_light I'm going to introduce her to the rest of my JoR gang through doing Milk Bottle prompts.
Tonight we meet Belladonna.


Sometimes she gets dizzy, gets disoriented and scare. Sometimes, when she's been fueled by anger for too long and she's finally coming down from it, she forgets.

She's confused and uncertain, scared and stumbling. She knows where she is but it's difficult to recall who she might be. She feels like she's stumbling through a hall of mirrors and every time she sees her reflection, she's left wondering who is staring back at her.

She gets through it, of course, managing to cut her way through confusion or sometimes, be lead out by Sosa, who talks her down out of her own head with gentle words and careful touching.

Belladonna is forever grateful for that, for having someone to come back to when she's lost in her own mind.

They'll have tea afterward, sit together and talk softly. Sometimes Belladonna reads, sometimes Sosa reads to her, not for any other reason than Belladonna finds her voice to be something to latch onto when she feels like she's starting to drift again.

It's a strange thing, seeing Sosa the way she is when she's alone, but she knows she will forever be grateful for it too.

I grew up listening to that song and this reminded me of it. So happy~

I'm amazed at how well fleshed out you have made these in such few words.
