Fine. Whatever. You read the worst part already. Enjoy.
[Hands on her knees, Taylor pushes herself back to her feet, with a slight stagger.]
Word of warning - there's another Assistant, a little blond girl named Riley. She's in that file. If I see you talking to her, we're never speaking again.
... Where are you going? Are you leaving? And why is what I read the worst part?
[She can't be leaving, right? This is her cabin. Then again, if she's leaving, maybe that'll give Misty a chance to look around. The lack of locks in this place is honestly a godsend.
But does she want that opportunity more, or does she want Taylor to stay more?]
[Misty jumps up too, her hand overing over the paralyzation button on her wearable. She could press it, she could press it so easily, and then Taylor wouldn't be able to leave. She wouldn't have a choice.]
[And she's leaving, though she keeps a hand on the wall in case Misty does push it. She already knows what happens if you get paralyzed while moving at any speed, and she doesn't want to break her nose again.
[It doesn't matter, Misty tells herself, and then she tries saying it out loud:]
It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter, who cares; I can work with this.
[She sinks to the floor of Taylor's empty cabin and listlessly looks through a few more pages of the file, though she gives up when she realizes that she's been turning pages but not actually retaining any information. She tells herself to get up; to use this opportunity to look around the room. Instead, she hunches into herself and cries for her missing warden, off in god-knows-where doing god-knows-what, almost certainly never to be seen again.
She'll sit there for hours. If Taylor doesn't come back in that time, she'll eventually leave, the file left abandoned on the floor.]

[She eyes the file, and it's plain she's thinking of snatching it away from her.]

[Misty frowns, tightening her grip, her nails leaving little marks on the paper.]
If I give you this, you'll shove me out the door and avoid me for the rest of our pairing!

Taylor, just-- I want to talk about this.

I can freeze you! I-- I'm going to freeze you!
[She does not freeze her.]

Do it and we'll never speak again, Assistant.

Not when it already feels so hard to breathe.]
