Sept. 4th: Eye Spy

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizeable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days.

"That's what killed JFK, y'know? It was his tulpa. Framed Oswald," Winn says, lighting a cigarette.

"Well, yeah," Winn says. "I met one once. Weird guy. Had some weird ideas about musical theory and multiple worlds and junk like that."

"He had an exact twin living in Louisiana, but no record of any relation between the two. Heck, the one I met didn't have any records of existing until five or six years ago," Winn says.

Judging by the look of deep thought on her face she seems to honestly consider this.

"Dunno... It'd mean I was rid of all that stuff, right? She'd be existing purely for me to shed the worst of me..."

Jennifer frowns and doesn't respond right away, staying quiet for a while.

"I dunno, probably something about listening to peoples' thoughts too much or something..." she clearly evades the question.

"Yeah?" Winn says. "That's pretty shitty."

Winn walks alongside Jenn in silence for a bit.

"A couple years ago, I was in a car wreck with a friend. They were hurt bad, but I was just scared about getting caught, so I ran away. Just left 'em there."

"I almost killed myself." she blurts out, suddenly feeling guilty that Winn shared her story after she"d chickened out. "I didn't really want to, but it just kinda... happened."

"It was just... The guy I was hanging out with was pretty messed up and we got drunk one night. We talked a bunch and after I went home I was just kinda standing in the kitchen and then everything kinda goes sideways and I don't really remember. Except the next day I heard my friend was in the hospital cause he tried to cut his wrists with a knife in his kitchen. So that was pretty retarded. Kept happening for a while too. I'd wake up and I'd sleepwalked into the kitchen."

Winn is quiet for a bit.

"I'm sorry," she says finally.

"I'm so tired and angry and -- I don't know. I forget that I'm not the only one that has it hard, I guess," Winn says. For a moment, Winn is relaxed and Jennifer can see how exhausted the girl looks. "I've been a real bitch to you for no reason and...I'm sorry about that, alright? You didn't deserve it."
