First time, broken spine. Almost drowned, but it was worse lying in the hospital tent afterwards. Second time-
[There's an unpleasant feeling up the back of her neck, and she turns, looking to see if anyone's come in. No, not here. But it might be someone she's seeing through the bugs. They don't naturally congregate, so she doesn't get any good views. She's quieter when she turns back, twiddling the crayon.]
[Her hand actually shakes as it goes to her hair, to the long scar that crosses her scalp nearly from ear to ear. It's visible as she anxiously scratches at it.]
[Taylor nods, and standing, reaches suddenly to snatch a butterfly off the nearest wall. Its wing gets a bit crumpled, but it's still alive as she hands it over to Misty.]
You can. I'm going to find him, you find her. When you're near her, don't do anything to get her attention, but crush this. That- fork, no, my range isn't that wide.
[She shakes her head, frustrated, almost frantic.] Just message me something inconsequential. Doesn't matter what. Just give me a range on how far away from me she is when you do, one to ten.
You'll have to tell me what she looks like, though - Yunlan says she's a kid with curly blond hair, but like, how curly, and what shade? Any distinguishing marks? And how old is she exactly, are we looking at, like, eight, or a young teenager?
[She pauses for breath.]
Also, you know, I could talk to her and keep her distracted.
Twelve or thirteen, less curly more wavy, about so long, dark blond. [Taylor gestures a height with her hand, quite a bit shorter than herself.] Dresses young.
[Her breath is shaking, and she has to stop a second, make herself slow down.]
You shouldn't. She's dangerous. She's been a serial killer longer than I've had powers.

[Can she call her an infuriating pain in the butt? Would the Nurse consider that too mean? No, better not risk it.
God, this place really is terrible sometimes.
Misty pulls out the wearable and plunks it down on the table between them.]
There.

[She'd rather talk her into giving it up.]
I've been paralyzed before. It's violence, won't ever be anything else.

Second time was gas. Couldn't even blink.

It's true! Oh, and he told me, obviously; I haven't spoken with her.

I have to talk to him. Without her knowing.
