They make their way out the emergency exit unmolested.
Later, Theo pulls up at Sadde's house in his car to pick her up for nighttime activities! By which is meant vampire-related healing, not anything else, of course.
Of course. Because he is quite gay and she is a girl today so she's not even pining a little bit.
Yes, that.
So they go to some more hospitals! A new one a bit further away – Sadde can nap in the car if she's tired or something, Theo should be fine to do this – and then also back to one of the larger ones nearer-by.
Evelyn spends a while trying to motivate herself to stare at threads and realizing they are Super Boring and trying to do it anyway.
Which is convenient! She tries to deduce things about how things are linked together, what happens if she, for example, pokes the threads between some non-fragile inanimate objects, things like that…
She's gonna try pulling the larger ones, if she can find any between inanimate objects, and if not she puts a reminder (and an alarm for a minute away) on her phone to remind herself what she's doing.
Can she poke one side of the thread or is it just the whole thread is pokeable? Because she wants to poke the middle, the side at her, and the side at the object.
(With notes on what she's doing so she doesn't forget if she goes and picks an object up.)
Well clearly she touches the object and then she pauses and puts the object back.
Same with another object, if she pokes the thread between her and it?
She… does not get quite as far towards completing the action, this time. Light touches.
A different thread, to this same object?
And is there any noticeably different pattern, or shade, or something synesthetic, to the threads, such that she might be able to guess what does what?
(So boring. Not that boring. So very not-that-very-actually-boring.)
Is there a nice synesthetic map so she can actually get to know what these are or is it a vague intuition or, like, what.
Can she tell if two lines have the same difference from another line, or if they're different, like, magnitudes of difference…?
