[Lucy can see the way Jim's shoulders drop. How his smile is weak and traces of sadness. Guilt starts to eat at her, feeling bad to say she didn't know if she wanted to get to know him. Normally, she would have. She would've been thrilled to talk to another person and learn about their world, but right now she wasn't. Emma was gone, and now she was Victor, and before the dust could settle, there was someone new coming into her life.
It was a lot thrown at her, all at once.
She could only hope Jim doesn't start to dislike her because of it. But if he did, then maybe he wasn't the right person for Victor. Or, maybe she was getting a head of herself. At least he knew about the worlds they came from...and she should've known Victor would not have brought her up. She wasn't his actual kid. Just...someone he was close to.]
I'm not from the same place as he remembers. It's similar, but not exactly the same. Different realms with similar things, but the people--their stories are different.
[But she didn't know Victor couldn't see colors. She does know he's a great artist.]
And Emma...she is--was my grandma, I never got to meet her until coming here. She... [Another pause, trying hard not to start crying as the ache in her heart increases ten fold. She misses her parents, her friends, everyone back in Hyperion Heights.] She was amazing, a-and she... [Ah nope, nope, can't do it. Lucy starts to cry and finds herself wiping the tears from her eyes.]
