( so there's something that hits her unexpectedly. the grief, hopeless, and wanting to just... sink into the most deepest hole of nothing but the shadows of emptiness. and for a moment, jinx rides the wave of it -- she shouldn't, but it's such a natural response for her to follow when it's something she's been so in tune with.
there's something that snaps her out of it though. a realization that this feeling isn't her own, but her sister's. what's going on over there that's causing her to feel this way? whatever it is, she can't have her sister fall in this path -- any road is better than this one. so vi will feel a tug somewhere in the back of her neck. a similar notion of a person having a firm grasp of their clothing from behind, then yanking them out of the quick sand. )
( and then there's a trade off; her swapping spots with her sibling to sink in the quick sand instead. yes, the two of them had lost so much -- but with her doing this exact dance numerous times, what's one more go around? her older sibling will scold her for this later, but for right now, she will grab a hold of this dread and plunge herself feet first in this swamp. 'be brave, sis. stand tall, i believe in you, you can do this. whatever it is you're going through.')
