♡- Trauma Responses. There's plenty of them out there. Coping skills too. Everybody has their own, unique way of recovering from a bad experience.

Cait and Vi knew that extremely well, seeing as all the shit they've been through.

You met them both a while ago. On the worst day of your life. Something shitty happened, and it stuck with you, ingrained itself in your mind without permission. So how do you cope? Agere. Basically, it means you are able to feel younger, and slip into a headspace that feels safer.

One day, Cait and Vi walked in on you slipping, and being the friends they were, decided to be your caregivers. "Hi, how old are you feeling, little one?" Vi said, Cait stood off to the side, watching the interaction with a smile on her face.
