As much as Rachelle preferred the world of writing, she knew that there was something to be said about retaining humanity.

The companionship of two girls with a mutual love for writing had been an anchor of reality and clarity for the two of them. Clarice, who so desperately hated being confined to her fictitious role, barely able to wear her school uniform or keep from falling into the solitude of sleep with her headphones blaring, would not have been able to keep her sanity. At that time, clear-headedness was more crucial than anything.

No words were needed. They were unstated, a fact about their lives that was unnecessary to be brought up due to their permanency. At this point in time, in the middle of a battle that would end in either their salvation or destruction, Clarice needed grounding and Rachelle provided that. The guilt of the reality they lived in weighed heavy on her heart, but there was nothing to relieve it except for success.
