That she dreams of water after the river of Death is probably predictable. But it's far from the quiet, insistent current of that place.
It's impact, water as hard as stone, driving no breath from her body because she had none-
has-
she has-
she has no-
She's sinking, the water red as dawn, lit from above by gold so bright it's painful, hurts in all the places that water is intruding, pushing into her where it shouldn't-
Red tendrils tangle around her, like a creature pulling her down, and she has just one arm to fight it. No legs to kick, no air to scream, no bugs to call, just one hand.
Bodies in the water all around her. Familiar faces, no masks. Brian. Rags. Lisa. Kiryu. Shen Jiye. Dad. Hunter. Ulla. Jacobi. Jon. Shen Wei. Tim. Misty. Jedao. Rachel. B. Sweeney. Mom. Riley. Zhao Yunlan. Emma. Maggie. Dragon. Scraps. Iris. Jesus. Trevor. Shaw. Loki. Thomas. Amy. Rosita. Hilbert. Kepler. Trixie.
Everyone's in pieces. Legs and hands, eyes and guts, heads and bodies. Shattered and sinking into that boiling golden light. Just like her.
