It stings all the more these days - she'd just gotten the hang of pushing her way past it with stubbornness and willpower and too much spare time before that Fae had ripped chunks out of her sense of self, and being forcibly reset to Step One was one of the most frustrating things to happen all year. But the holes were slowly closing and that meant starting to practice again whether she likes it or not. Having half of London locked away because of a river is stupid! So stupid, like. Wow.
This, unfortunately, lead to situations like the one currently unfolding where she'd tried to cross the river, failed, bounced off the invisible not-quite-barrier it presented, and landed ghostly-butt-first in the tube below after glitching through the ground in a panic. Being a ghost sucks, kids, don't try this at home.
At least the train car looks empty, at a first worried glance. She doesn't notice Karkat even when he's staring at her, being too busy berating herself for her dumb, amateur mistake to pick up on it. ]
Ugh. Running into the river never works, why did I think that was a good idea.
3! this took me so long I'm sorry
