"It is," Adia says sincerely. "I could have been lost here by myself, or with someone who didn't understand what I was going through." Which, if she's being honest, she doesn't entirely understand herself. Did hallucinations really look and sound this real? Her mirror image is so vivid, so... so bright.

So much prettier, a voice whispers, but she can't tell if that's coming from the other Adia or herself.

Josh's vulgar suggestion brings a bit of color back to her face; she tries to ignore her doppelganger's raucous laughter as she puts her finger on one of the PINpoint's buttons. "You already have my hand, so that's good. Some people get a little nauseous when they teleport, just to warn you."

She taps the button. Nothing happens. Adia looks around in confusion before reading the error message on her PINpoint's tiny screen.

"I... I don't understand. I've never had it not work in the Nexus." Her hand twitches, like she might pull away from Josh's grip in embarrassment. It's the one thing she could have done to help, and she blew it.

Somebody frakked u~up, her mirror image sing-songs. Guess who's become a little too reliant on her PINpoint?

Adia clutches the PINpoint hard enough to turn her knuckles white. "Shut up," she whispers. "It's not my fault."
