she's just looking at the phone screen, not... typing anything else, and her own Bad Vibes feelings just intensify there. it's a mess of just-- guilt. some regret. uncertainty and grief, an unsettled feeling, an odd sense of loneliness. she remembers what she experienced after, still; she's not going to forget that any time soon.]

I know it wasn't real, I know, but the effects of it are. At least for now.
