I lay there in my bed wondering if I should've told Terrance all that stuff even though I didn't say the whole story. but my train of thought is ruined when a doctor walks in.
"Well Katrina." He used my deadname. I wince. "I just need to do a small checkup then you may leave."
"Ok." He does the checkup, and I grab all my stuff and we leave. I sit silently in the back of the car listening to music.
When we get home I go immediately to the world under the water. It had been awhile since I'd been there. The last time I was there was when I found Terrance. I lay down in my hammock blasting music, specifically my favorite bands the Sukis and the Smiths. The music helps calm me down.
I then realize that Terrance is standing across from me waving me over.
"Hey!"
"Hi!"
"How are you feeling now, are you doing better, have you eaten?!"
"Yes, yes, and yes I'm fine don't worry." He looks relieved.
"Oh yeah, do you have any theories about this place?"
"No, not yet at least." He appears thoughtful.
"Do you think that maybe, the world is like, connected to us, and that it's collapsing because we don't need it as much?"
"Maybe."
"The only thing is, It doesn't feel like I don't need it anymore. I don't know about you though."He says thoughtfully.
"But, hey maybe it means we're not necessarily getting better yet, but we're on the road to it?"
"Or maybe, It's because we met."
