[Hennessey didn't intend to walk away from it. That much Jordan knows with the bone-deep certainty of being a near-perfect copy of her. Jordan screws her eyes shut and takes a shaky breath, trying to keep the most complicated emotions about everything she's learned to herself. All she can hear is Hennessey saying I'm so fucking tired of you on loop.]

You're so fucking stupid.

[Jordan doesn't mean to say it, but she thinks it's true all the same. She laughs, but it's a little hysterical. Twice. She did part of what Ronan and Hennessey were trying to twice and all it took was fucking around on a canvas. The rest of it? For people who could literally do the impossible, Jordan thought that dreamers thought so fucking small.]

Ask me. Ask me why I'm still awake, Ronan, because the answer isn't manna and it isn't Hennessey.
