[It was odd, really, to be in this situation. Terezi knew it was stupid, but then again, what wasn't nowadays in the Veil? Still. Walking to Karkat's room was probably one of the longest times she felt that the minutes stretched for hours, unsure of what she was even doing was the right thing. All she knew was that it hurt, and the more she thought about it, the more frustrated she got in trying to understand it. Emotions were stupid. This whole thing was stupid. She should honestly turn right back now and just forget it, this was so stupid.

All too soon, she found herself in the hallway by his room, cane hitting the side of the wall with ease. The troll girl was thankful, at least, that Karkat didn't have her sense of smell at this point. If he did, he might've noticed how underneath her usual poker face, she was shaking. It was slightly, not noticeable enough by sight, but still present to her.

Standing by the doorway, Terezi was silent. She didn't know what would happen next, and truthfully, a part of her was scared to even find out.]
