Jinx watched Josephine stare blankly at the holographic screen, a familiar, distant look in her eyes. It was a look Jinx had seen countless times—the look of someone trying to hold it all together while a storm raged inside.
"This?" Josephine asked, her voice flat, devoid of emotion. She took a slow, deliberate breath.
"Let's head back. No matter what, we must focus our minds on our tasks."
A scoff escaped Jinx's lips as she started to walk past her. "Oh, give me a break."
Josephine's head whipped around. "...Huh?"
Jinx kept moving, her tone bored and dismissive. "Stop pretending everything is okay, and stop just going with the flow, it's annoying."
Josephine's voice turned icy. "What are you saying?!"
Jinx stopped dead and looked over her shoulder, her gaze piercing:
"You're scared. I get that. But are you scared about the fate of Sunny and the others, or are you just thinking about yourself?" She finally turned to face Josephine fully.
