[Here is a thing Euphie never does—texting. But then she doesn't normally have anything to hide.]

I can't be certain, but if any part of my nightmare was unleashed yesterday I'm very sorry, and I hope no one was hurt.

Also, I won't be able to make it in at work at the Turnabout Cafe or the Welcome Center this week. I'm very sorry.

You okay? Did anything happen?

[deadly_legacy]

There was an incident yesterday. [In which a close friend kissed her and then very nearly strangled her to death before being shot to death with his blood splattered on her. So, "incident."]

[negativegate]

[Rita's imagination certainly doesn't come up with anything that specific, aside from what she herself saw yesterday.]

More like lots of incidents. But you didn't get hurt?

[deadly_legacy]

I'll be alright. [But she can't say she wasn't hurt.]

[negativegate]

But right now? [The future tense there worries her.]

[deadly_legacy]

It's just a little bruising. I'm fine.

[And switching to video because Rita's too impatient to type-]

Bruising?! What happened?

[deadly_legacy]

[She slowly decides to respond by video, but she makes it private. There are bruises around her throat from where hands pressed in, choking her.]

It's not as bad as it looks.

[Rita stares in shock for a second, before it quickly turns to anger. Curse or not, someone hurt Euphie like this...]

What do you mean, it's not bad?! Someone tried to--who did this?

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

It's not important. It was from a nightmare.

[private]

[negativegate]

That doesn't mean it's not important! Have you had it healed or treated or anything?

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

No... I didn't think of that.

[private]

[negativegate]

Then get it checked out just in case. I know you said it's not bad, but...It doesn't look good, okay?

[Rita, of course, has next to zero medical knowledge, but she's still worried.]

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

I will. [Maybe.] A friend is coming over with something to hide it better.

[private]

[negativegate]

...All right. Does this friend have any medicine?

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

I think he's just bringing make up.
