Ringing
There is a ringing in her ears that is not quite there. It's covered, muffled by something, and Rin is thinking (she is thinking now, here, and believing) that the ringing is the lie.
Or something else.
That she's not realizing, that she's not seeing. And that's always the part, where she ends up screaming.
And waking.
And drowning the world in her petty, childish fears.
But in the morning, when she can picture out his face again, the ringing stops. But not for long, and not for good. But also she doesn't know if the stopping is so good, not anymore.
Because he's like a nightmare too, in a different way.
