cry
You are so mean to me.... *wipes tears from her eyes* It's nothing. Everyone says I've got a cold or something that's messing with my sinuses.
(random person walks up) I thought you didn't get sick?
I don't. *sneezes*
(Random person nods) Well, the pollen count has been abnormally high this year.
*Looks up with running nose* I'm not allergic to anything.
(Random person rolls eyes) Of course.
cry

Did not know what to do for misfortune, so basically just ignored the theme. Oops.
13. Misfortune
Maybe if he chose a different time to come in, the world happened differently.
Or perhaps not.
He steps inside. She looks up, and a smile breaks across her face before he even says anything. Then she looks embarrassed.
"Hello," he tries, awkwardly.
"Hello."
Her face is paler than he remembers, though that might be the fluorescent lighting. Gaunt, almost - cheekbones more prominent above slight hollows where there had been convexity.
She is holding an apple with one bite taken out of it. He is almost frightened to see that the fine-boned hand grasping it is shaking.
She notices his stare, misinterprets it. "Apple?" she says, proffering the fruit.
"Er," he says, and then, absurdly, "yes."
He reaches out to take it. Their fingers don't quite touch as the smooth fruit rolls from hand to hand.
The gesture is so familiar he knows he has seen it - felt it - before. Dreaming, he thinks suddenly, and sees the same realization in her ********," she says, "not again," and then her eyes roll up in her head.

14. Smile
He finishes the apple, and she sees that it is different for him - not a sunburst but a new world unfurling like a bedraggled flower in the light.
Fingers curl around the bitten fruit.
He looks at her. "Oh," he says. "Oh."
She kisses him. It is too little and too late to hold back the Knowledge, and there is a sour edge to the taste of his mouth that leaves her all the hungrier for more.
For all his anxiety, Adam cannot help but smile at the sight of that sleepy response before calling the nurse, but when he turns back again the apple has fallen to the floor, juice trickling out over the tiles from the crisp white flesh. In the pristine world of the hospital, it looks sordid and lovely.

15. Silence
The world about them is diminished; she is less aware of the everything and more aware of the self. Before she would have heard the quiet sounds that layer over one another to make one great shifting, enveloping noise; now though she still hears peripherally the sounds they merge dully into echoing emptiness. The silence is unfamiliarly loud.
They walk, together. Together is the only way to bear the weight of shame.

Wasn't she about to have a seizure? How did that become making out?

xd I was /trying/ to make clear that the makage outage was in the dream world by use of italicization vs. non-italicization. Did that not work?
