[SO, ALISON IS TOTALLY CRAZY...]

[nods in her direction before flopping onto the bed]

[coppelganger]

[she spends a couple minutes rinsing the blood off her face and returns to Cosima's room carrying a glass of water and a baggie filled with ice.

and then she locks the door behind her.]

[doubleblind]

[sitting up slightly, still short of breath]

Okay, I'm too curious. What happened?

[coppelganger]

[handing her the glass and then sitting heavily on the bed, putting the ice pack over her cheek]

Alison was sitting outside and freaked out when I went near her, again. She had her taser out and I went to grab it. I didn't want to hurt her, so I just—made her drop it and pushed her up against the fence.

[doubleblind]

[takes a long sip of water]

... Let me guess, she retaliated.

[coppelganger]

She was pretty brutal.

[doubleblind]

[just pulls her into a gentle hug]

What's wrong with her?

[coppelganger]

[resting her forehead against Cosima's shoulder]

I don't know. This is really bad. Don't—don't go near her.

[doubleblind]

I was gonna keep following her, but my cough... Guess I really dodged a bullet there, huh.

[coppelganger]

[sniffs, but hey, she could just be making sure she doesn't bleed on Cosima's shirt]

Literally. She said she'd shoot me if she had to.

[doubleblind]

Holy shit, Sarah.

[coppelganger]

... I don't know how to fix this.

[doubleblind]

[rubs her back]

I know, I know... Reasoning with her didn't work.

[coppelganger]

What are we gonna do? We can't just hide from her, but we can't get near her! And what about the kids around here, and the other people living in the hotel? Sam's, like, eight right now!

[doubleblind]

We'll figure something out, okay? This isn't normal. It can't be normal. Let's just try to minimize the number of people who get hurt. That's the most we can do right now.

[coppelganger]

[lying back on the bed]

Maybe Alphonse can lock her in her room.

[doubleblind]

... Is that safe?

[coppelganger]

For us? Yeah.

[doubleblind]

I meant for Alison...

[coppelganger]

Safer than wandering around picking a fight with anyone she runs into, yeah?

[doubleblind]

She's not going to like it. Locking her up somewhere is just gonna play into her paranoia.

[coppelganger]

And what if she comes in here and shoots you in the middle of the night?

[doubleblind]

I'll get to experience what the revival process is all about?

[coppelganger]

Jesus. This is so fucked up. I feel like I'm dealing with Helena all over again.

[doubleblind]

Yeah. This is weirdly familiar.

Hey, I've got painkillers if you want some.
