Wait, hold your finger right here for me? [To secure the wrapping at the top of her leg.] Thank you.
[And she gets started.]
Maya, I think I'm always going to worry about you.
That's what a big sister is supposed to do, isn't it?
[Ghost offers a smile, as she leans over to start wrapping Maya's leg. Right. Protect. Retrain. Put the pieces together into answers, even if they don't feel like your own.
Make them your own. Just like Will did. Sure, she doesn't remember herself. But she remembers Lana, remembers the concept of what a big sister is, the concept of family. She can put this act on for longer, even if her eyes linger on that crack.]
Worry over you, help you fix things. You're the one who shouldn't be worrying.
I've got you, okay?
[There's a vague image in her head, of Maya, young and crying, of broken pieces and hurried thoughts. It means nothing to her right now. It will mean something again later, when she reviews this moment in her mind, after the curses of Wonderland have faded.]
