    “I just… I need to memorize you like this.”

    El eyes fluttered open a little wider. “Like what?”

    Summary

    '...she was finding more and more that self-awareness was a double-edged sword. She’d always comprehended that she was different than her peers, but the more time she spent in the world, the more she felt the gap between herself and others widening - it was expansive, now, and uncrossable. That knowledge made her ache.

     For one brief moment of insanity, she wanted to scream, “It doesn’t matter!”

     Nothing she did would ever bridge that gap.'

    Time forces El to confront her trauma, and no one is prepared for the fallout.
