[Not worried? Not her sister? She's not sure herself which one she means. But Jasmine's always saying "your sisters" as if she isn't one of them. Maybe she doesn't want to be.
Well. Not that that should be surprising. It's probably how she feels anyways. Still, the thought of it hurts.]
[To nag me is what she types out at first, but she knows right away that it's not the whole truth. Sometimes it's just easier to think Jasmine only asks out of concern for the other girls and not for herself. She won't be as disappointed that way.]
[It goes both ways, those worries. It would be much easier if she could just disown someone on the grounds that they were never really related at all. Too bad it doesn't work like that, no matter
It would be ungrateful of me not to try and help you if I thought you needed it.
I guess you don't, though? [There's that question mark there, intentional, making sure that's what Rose actually wants.]
[Which is the honest, genuine truth. Jasmine wanting to help her for herself, not because the others would want her to or because she feels obligated to, would make her happier than she'd ever admit. But she also wants to not be a burden on her, financially or otherwise. She already does enough of that by being the black sheep of the family, she thinks.
Besides that though, as much as she wants help for what's happening, is there any helping it? Can anyone really help her with this? She's not sure.]
[That's one thing she can say about Rose, no matter how angry (or not) she happens to be at her at the time. It never changes. Rose comes out of everything eventually.]
I think you're lucky that man is your boss. He seems to get it.
To be honest, I'm more surprised to hear what happened to you. It seems like every time something happens to someone's body, it stops being a hindrance sooner or later.
But then, isn't that backwards? Something that's really strange would naturally surprise and repulse people.

I know you can manage a budget. [I was going to ask if you needed help, she refrains from saying.]
Your sisters are going to worry if you don't at least check in.

he's way too fucking nice to me
[So much so that it's hard not to just immediately try and shut it down sometimes. She doesn't need pity, she can take care of herself, it's fine.]
i almost wish i'd been on the network when he lost his eye
looking back i reacted the exact same way people do to me now
i hate it

People who don't use Retrospec stopped mentioning my eyes at all after a few weeks, even if I left home without contacts in.
Is it the same for you?
