[ daisy sleepwalks. not often, not all the time, but enough to know: it's happened before, it will happen again. it comes most when dreams are strongest, when muscle memory and emotions propel her out of bed and onto the floor, and ends when she wakes, jolted from sleep by the end of a dream in terror or joy or something in between.
tonight, daisy walks: from her room to the living room, across the floor, to stand in the threshold of cassian and jyn's bedroom like a ghost haunting their sleep. she is dreamwalking into a room, too, but the room in her dream is dark, shrouded in shadows. like cassian in the bed, there is a man in the room, but his face is distorted, a blend of men's faces, the specificity unimportant.
what is important is the gun he holds out, the bullet it fires, the blood its trajectory spills from her stomach. what is important is the sudden pain she feels blooming in her gut. what is worse is the second bullet, fired as the gun prods itself into the wound.
she cries out, but in her dream, no one can hear her. she is dying, she is fading, she is crying out but no sound comes. (in life, she is falling to the ground too, but someone can hear her. that is, if they wake as well.) ]
