[Something with the water changes.

Jinx doesn't notice at first, entranced with her abyss. It shouldn't be a comfort. It'll press in on her, soon. The fighting, desperate need to survive, to breathe, to break. She'd like to think she was getting better at this and it's likely something that she shouldn't be getting better at, but she has so few connections left to anyone that she thought mattered to her.

But no, the water is shifting upwards, not lowering. She's left floundering on the office floor as it fully gets sucked above and she shifts onto her side, coughing and sputtering and absolutely waterlogged. The shadows press in once it recedes, but she can't tell if it was from her time under or something more.

Her head's quiet though. For a few moments. When she looks back up, still swallowing down breaths of air, and only stares at her sister with a completely open expression. It isn't fear this time. It's just surprise.

She looks to the computers, no longer blinking about a quarantine, and grapples her way up from the slippery floor to get back to her feet, racing across the room and slamming into the door--

It's no longer locked.

--and wrenches it open to come face to face with her sister.]
