When the time for the appointment came, Lilith had told Nikki all about what she’d seen. She’d started with it first, because it was the most important thing on her mind - it had been bothering her all week. And even if the empath couldn’t help her with the whole “invisible mummy” thing, she could help her sort out her feelings about it.
She described it as best as she could. The initial confusion at the old woman’s actions. The worry she felt at not understanding what was wrong. The shock she felt at seeing the mummy. The mixed fear and rage that made her scream and stop the attack. The churning in her stomach as she realized that she'd nearly lost control in a public place where nobody else could see what was happening. How she suddenly felt the same way as she'd done when the red had cleared and she was standing over a half-dead man and people around her were screaming in fear.
Except there was no screaming this time. Just silent, cold judgement.
Nikki told her that it was normal to be scared. To be angry. Especially at something as bizzare as that. But she also told her that it wasn't wrong to think the way she'd done to begin with. There were people in this world far worse than her when it came to mental health, and that they couldn't control themselves without special medication or help. People jumped to conclusions about those kinds of people and sometimes didn't try to understand. It was better to ignore those kinds of people.
Lilith listened. She nodded. She took notes, and spoke them aloud in her mind. She was told that she would be speaking with Vent about it, since Dawn was no longer the main Kober advisor.
Then, as she left the office, she decided she needed a drink.
