[ therapy had been difficult today. it’s difficult every day, really, but today had been exceptionally hard. because for the first time, inej had forced herself to remember. to pick apart memories she hadn’t thought about in a long time. and really tackle why she felt such a heavy weight in her chest whenever she was intimate, the creeping sense of dread and shame whenever her heart rate returned to normal and she tried to fall asleep in kaz’s arms.
she’s long since run out of tears to shed, which has left her feeling both overwhelmed and exhausted, upon letting herself back into their apartment. she doesn’t see kaz immediately, which she feels a little relief for. part of her feels guilty, for struggling. and not saying anything. but most of her needs a moment to relax.
so she finds herself on the couch, curling up underneath a thick blanket, exhaling slowly as she closes her eyes. letting a moment of peace wash over her as she focuses on calming her nerve.
