DAY 358 ★ ACTION, CLOSED TO REID & ELENA

[ leia doesn't stop. once she's out the door of the squeeze, she heads directly for the next sector. she knows that spencer lives in sector three's apartments, but she doesn't know which apartment — but she doesn't need to. it's easy to seek out and find his distinct presence once she's on the grounds of the complex. she follows it until it leads her to his door.

she takes a moment to school her expression, expertly pulling back her rage and replacing it with something much more neutral. whether her mask will work on a criminal profiler is up for debate, but leia can't bring herself to care.

raising her hand, she knocks on the door. ]

[ this isn't something leia's had much of in recent years: someone telling her that her feelings are valid, that she can take the time that she needs to sort through them. war and the positions she held didn't leave her with much opportunity for either. she had too much responsibility, too many lives that depended on her decisions to allow whatever complicated, tangled mess her personal feelings were to get in the way. there's so much that she's ignored, compartmentalized, and tucked away. so much that was left unaddressed. ]

I'm just— tired. [ so tired. she's exhausted, but mostly: ] Tired of being lied to, especially when someone thinks they're protecting me by not telling me the truth.

[ elena is guilty of that, isn't she? oh, she is more than used to being protected - that's what being a doppelganger means. to be protected, and ultimately the knife and the slaughter. but elena herself is guilty of taking away people's choices, claiming it was being done to protect them. jeremy, especially, has been a victim of her decisions. her stomach clenches, though she's not entirely aware as to the reason. ]

This is about a lot more than just Reid. [ her voice is soft. cautious. ] Isn't it?

[ it isn't, but he's certainly contributed to a preexisting problem. something she'd barely begun to contend with when she was brought to this place. alone and without her twin — who, in a way, had lied to her, too. ("what is it?"/"ask me again sometime.") ]

I don't know how much you know about those movies or what they contained, but the good doctor isn't the first person to keep things from me, because they thought they were protecting me. People have been doing that my entire life. I just didn't know about it until recently.
