[ twins, that's why she understands. it's unnatural, being born together and dying apart, the crushing, despairing grief that feels like your heart is caving in, the years leaving corrosive rust behind, guilt. at least esme had phoebe and sophie to think about, suddenly the eldest, a position she never wanted or asked for, at least she wasn't alone.
not like she is now.
who is going to protect her sisters if she is not there? reeva? no, reeva would throw them under the bus the moment any decision became between her and them. the mutant underground wouldn't take them in, even if lorna vouched for them and maybe even lorna wouldn't look after her sisters. they're the youngest, they shouldn't have to look after themselves. ]
Celeste and Mindee. It's only Phoebe and Sophie now.
