"I think..." she sighed. "I think when we got released, the way it got turned into a political thing, I think... I just think, honestly, it was... it was just really really gross. I don't think anyone cared that we were all victims of a horrible, horrible thing. I don't think they cared about how traumatizing it was going to be for any of us. I guess they just needed something controversial to yell about, and yelling at the terrorists was too obvious, and nobody wanted to talk about how the cops literally tried to cover up the kidnapping and then treated us like shit while we were in custody. So they found us to yell about, like we were ever in control of what happened."

She was silent for a moment, inhaling shakily through her mouth.

"But we were just scared kids. We're all still just scared kids. I don't know what you expect from us. I don't know what you want us to do."

Finally, the interview for Rolling Stone was over. Took like three hours. They pretty much wanted her whole entire life story.

She checked the time on her phone. Then, she sighed quietly, grunted, and slumped sideways in her seated position on the couch.

"Playboy's in fifteen minutes, Ximena!"

"Oh yeah, um, I listen to like, a lot of indie dance stuff. Dance-punk mostly. Lots and lots of LCD Soundsystem. But honestly I vibe listening to anything I can think of a way for a person to dance to. Like, I fucking love Moonlight Sonata. It makes me feel like I'm floating." Astrid said over the phone to the interviewer from Playboy.

"Oh yeah, there's this show on Netflix I thought was pretty good. I can't remember what it's called, but it had Jonah Hill and Emma Stone. It's, like, it's about a medication that makes you fall asleep. And in your dreams it makes you relive whatever your worst memory is, exactly the way it happened in real life. And Emma Stone's character, what she does is just keep taking the pills and reliving her memory, over and over and over. She just spends all day watching her sister die in a car crash. That's all she ever does. She doesn't ever get out of bed unless she runs out of pills."

"Would you take that pill?" Mr. Playboy interviewer man asked.

Astrid chuckled sensibly.

"My guy, I pretty much already do." She said.

Astrid handed the phone to Ximena because Ximena wanted to see if she could talk Playboy into giving her a photo internship.

Up until now, Astrid hadn't actually realized Ximena's life passion was taking pictures of naked people or whatever. She'd just kind of assumed the OnlyFans was for - well, she hadn't assumed anything about it, really. She'd generally been keeping herself at a respectful distance from that whole shebang, because it was none of her business. But she'd assumed she'd been doing it for reasons other than taking the photos.

But anyways, like, well, if like, like, well, if Ximena ever needed, like, photography practice, and needed another persssssonnnnnn to take photos of, like, Astrid was like, totally willing to help and stuff, like, haha, you know... - no stop it Astrid stop it that's enough of that, shut up, stop thinking about it, no, HISSSSSSSSSSSSS, pull yourself together girl okay no more reading fanfictions after midnight - but but but okay listen okay, it isnt her fault okay you can't just have two totally platonic roomies who are also both unaccompanied bisexuals just live together and not expect fanfic brain to start going hhhHHhHHHHhhhh - ENOUGH, SHAME shame shame bad Astrid, sin bin, you're going into the sin bin, stop thinking about it YOU HUSSY, stop--

Astrid blushed slightly and remained frozen sitting completely still for the remainder of Ximena's phone call.

Astrid woke up in her bed, in her bedroom, in her two-bedroom apartment, which she lived in with her best friend Ximena Rodriguez. And she rolled over, and she looked at her pet corn snake named Muffin, who sat snakily inside a glass terrarium with her snake snout poking out from a snake shelter Astrid had constructed for her using a cardboard box.

And Astrid said to Muffin, "Hello cutiemuffin."

And then she rose up out of her bed, hit the shower, and got to work gluing herself together, because today was an important day and she was going to die if she didn't look literally perfect in every single way.

Time to follow in the footsteps of cultural icons like John Lennon, Prince, Madonna, David Byrne, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the cast of Seinfeld (ft. Jerry Seinfeld wearing a mesh shirt), Tom Green, Lindsay Lohan, Charles Manson, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Time to be on the cover of Rolling Stone.

Astrid stood in a photo studio, in front of a white background. To the left of her hip there was a crate, the surface of which her hand was holding much of her weight up against.

Click, went the camera.

Astrid leaned to the side somewhat.

"What if we do a few with the flash as bright as you can get it? I think that maybe the light's reflection in my eyes would be an interesting look." She said.

"Sure. Just, uh, don't stare directly at the flash." The famous photographer person said. "You will go blind."

"'Kay." Astrid said. She flipped her hair.

Click, went the camera.

One goth plus Craig sat in Craig's 2008 Toyota Corolla, on their way between Portland and Bend. Craig was driving, Astrid was riding shotgun.

"How's Jared been?" Astrid asked.

"Oh, I think he's... he's doing alright. He just applied to Harvard." Craig said.

"Aww, good for him." Astrid said.

Astrid opened the door to her and Ximena’s apartment and stepped inside, suddenly coming face to face with everyone who had already arrived for the Survivors Thanksgiving Gettogether Dinner.

“Wow. Oh my gosh, hi. You must be Stephen Sanders. Oh wow, and you're TV's Alan Melnyk. It's me, Ximena’s roommate Astrid. It’s so amazing to finally meet you all. You're so inspirational. Wow, this is just soooo crazy.” She said, smiling with her mouth closed, clack, clack, clack.

Astrid sat at the dinner table, looking at her designated media email account on her phone. She refreshed it, and a new message from Rolling Stone caught her eye. She opened it.

She smiled with both sides of her mouth.

"Check this out, they just sent a picture."
[+] She turned the phone around and flashed the screen to everybody sitting at the table.

Altogether, Thanksgiving dinner felt about as awkward for Astrid as it would have if she'd had it with Joel's family (post-familicide). She mostly just stayed quiet. Didn't really eat much.

Felt like everybody was always looking at her. Felt like everybody was scared of her. Felt like everybody was scared for Ximena's safety.

She just... she felt really alone.

She wasn't crazy. Okay maybe a little bit. She wasn't that crazy. A lot of it was just, like... she liked putting it on as a bit. She always felt more comfortable around people when she pretended to be something she wasn't.

Like, she was pretty sure they wouldn't have let her out of the psychiatric hold in the first place if she was a danger. She hadn't even killed anybody for almost a whole month now.

Okay, admittedly, if this was the arena still, and if the escape hadn't happened, she would have shot anybody in the room, Ximena included, without a second thought. But, like, she was in a really dark place then okay. Like, whaaaatever you guys, get over it. That was then and not now.

See she was doing a bit there. Just as an illustration.

Or was she?

Only she knew for sure.
