❛ ⅋ 🐇 " 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 . " 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆'𝘀 mouth before she decided to speak . she wasn't sure what part of zeynep's rambling had drawn her in , the cracked glass , the name on the memorial , or the quiet — desperate edge to her voice , smoothed over by forced indifference . maybe it was all of it . either way , mary was now involved .
mary exhaled slow and steady , before leaning in slightly . " they just pretend not to until it's too late . " her eyes dropped to the remnants of the broken glass the sharp fractures catching in the dim light of the redstone . she could hear the crack in zeynep's voice — brief , it might've gone unnoticed if mary didn't recognize the sound of someone barely holding it together . " you're not just some myth waiting to happen . but if you keep talking like that , you'll make it easier for them . "

“it was an accident, i swear!” the words rushed out in a furious whisper, she hadn't even noticed that she wasn't alone. zeynep pushed the empty glass she had been inspecting away from herself, before signaling the bartender for another around. “the glass was cracked when i picked it up, who knows how long it’s been defective...right?” she couldn't help but cringe at the sound of her voice, the brief crack felt foreign. no part of her wanted to admit that her name etched into the memorial had left her frightened. zeynep knew fear, it had plagued her nights. every red and blue flashing light had left her in a cold sweat for years. “anyways, apparently i'm on a hit list. they might not even notice before i become the next missing myth in town.” the words flowed so flippantly from her that zeynep could almost fool herself with the feigned nonchalance. “you don't think they'll notice, do you?”
