[But again, the blame fell solely on her. She'd spent the bulk of December in a haze -- could hardly remember any given week, let alone what she'd discussed with people. It was a wonder she'd even remembered what Cissnei had sent her for the holiday, only finding at one point that the bracelets were settled on opposite wrists and her sweater packed away in her luggage.
If she was honest, Angel hadn't given them much thought, at least not after coming out of her stupor. It was only now that she truly recalled what the note had said. A faint smile crossed her lips as she held an adorned wrist up for Cissnei to see, hoping it might cover up the pink of her cheeks.]

I was... actually there briefly, visiting some friends. I should have said something but it was... the first time I'd felt okay being around them. I didn't want to overstimulate myself. [Her gaze slipped from the screen and settled onto the floor, almost wincing as a hot ball of shame began to form in her stomach.]
