Yeah, you kinda did. [ she wrapped her arm around May's shoulder and squeezed hard. Yin grinned down at her friend. ] The shit you're going through is weirder than me, or anyone else I know, so I'm not gonna hold it against you.
Too bad I didn't get any hero powers with it. Like x-ray vision or laser eyes. [ as much as she wanted to joke around about it, there was no humor shown on her face or in her tone. ]
...it gets. I dunno. Worse. Weirder. Something... [ Yin goes back to her beer. she definitely needs it now. ]
It's unnatural. It's freaky. I mean... what if you woke up some day blonde and you didn't dye your hair, or grow it out. Just — boom!
[ Yin sucked down the rest of her beer and crinkled the rim in her grip. ] They're his eyes. I've always taken after him. How's this supposed to make me feel?
Some days, I don't either. [ ha ha her birth mom left her and her other mom's dead. May knows all that, but what Yin's really referring to is the huge gulf in life progress and accomplishments between her and her sister.
one of them has a bright future ahead of her.
then there's Yin, looking and sounding like she's getting madder and madder over absolutely nothing.
all before she crushes the empty can against her forehead. not painlessly either. ] Fuck! Ow, damn stupid.... rrrgh.]
[ Yin screwed her eyes shut and hissed through her teeth. ] Nah. Nah, I'm good. I'm fine, I'm just, argh. Making a point here.
[ when she opened her eyes again, the irises were red instead. not glowing but definitely vibrant and unmistakably red. she blinked a few times and looked off to the side, down, then up. ] ...did it work? Did they change again?
...say, uh, you mind if I crash here tonight? I promise those reporters didn't follow me here. And even if they did, we could just throw 'em overboard.

[ humor probably isn't going to work out so well. ] Look, I can tell you're handling everything with kid gloves already. You gonna be okay...?

You know me. I bounce. But it's been rough. I couldn't get the boat ready in time so I missed the spring break crowd...

Anything I can do for you? [ though Yin felt pretty useless and inexperienced with all this, when it came to her bestie she had to try. ]

Shit, I feel like I made this whole meeting about me. Sorry...

-May peered for a moment. Then her eyes widened.-
Oh shit. Those aren't contacts.

I... don't know if I can relate to that. I don't know what it's like to have blood relatives, yanno? I wish I could be of more help.

You're not gonna, like... develop eye lasers or something, are you?

[ soon as the pain from the can crushing attempt and her associated anger dissipated, so too did the red disappear in a literal blink. ]
