but right now she is the rest, and there's no trusting this. the girl's acting from a place of desperation, and melys has been desperate enough to know how dumb it makes you.

she hangs up. ]

[SIna buries her face in her hands, too numb to even cry. If she waits for their permission it may be too late.
It's already too late.
But maybe it doesn't have to be a total waste.]
