Lexine took a seat on her bed, feeling that she was mentally tired. She crossed her feet over each other, trying to take a pose which would without a doubt calm herself down. If it was before, she would have scrolled through her socials, before complaining to her mother over the perfect lives of the people in social media.
However, now neither did she have a phone, she did not have a mother as well. Her phone had been crushed somewhere during the escape. She took in deep breaths, counting from one to ten and back to one. Her eyes were shut, and each number was accompanied by a breath.
This was a technique that Ceeret taught her to use when she got angry to calm herself. This time, she was using it to calm herself down, to prevent her from crying.
