1: Morning sunlight hits Melissa’s face and she slowly awakens.
2: She rolls over, arm out, to find Julia gone from the bed.
3: Melissa slowly slides open the door to the bathroom.
Mel: Juuuuuliaaa.
Julia: Mmmn?
4: Julia’s silhouette is blurred by the glass of a shower stall.
Mel: Good morning~
Julia: Morning, Kitty.
Mel: I guess this means you remember we’re visiting the hospital today?
Julia: I’ll be ready for it!
4: Mel steps a little closer to the shower, separated from Julia by glass. Julia seems worried, almost recoiling from the door.
Mel: You… want me to join you in there?
Julia: Oh, I’m almost done. I’ll be out for you soon.
Mel: Oh, okay…
Their situation makes me so sad. Nothing either can do to really ‘fix’ the situation. =/
Julia’s totes going PTSD … The only thing that will help is time … and patience. Lets just hope Melissa is patient and caring enough to wait until Julia … gets better.
Hey, it’s almost like Julia has a deeply ingrained fear of physical contact or intimacy now.
That is a clever and brutally sad type of lingering trauma for her to have.
I would tell them that, as far as their relationship is concerned, it doesn’t matter that they’re made up of the same stuff as an eldritch alien deity; the fact that they only recently learned that should not be allowed to ruin their relationship. They should love on each other like there’s no tomorrow; consider the events of issue #22: a family ruined by events that the victims had no reason to even consider happening to them.
This breaks my heart 🙁 It’s super understandable though.
OMG, is Julia still infected?
sigh Ok i get it Julia has a form of PTSD. how did I miss a whole plot line… funny i have ADHD and these days that’s not realy an excuse anymore..
but I Don’t pickup on all clock cycles;-)
