"Nothing. I think I'm gonna jump off the top," she says, figuring she might as well get it out there. "It's not too high, right? I've seen other people do it." And she's a relatively strong swimmer, too, but maybe being a good swimmer has nothing to do with it. Maybe it's all luck and she might just come down on a rock and break her stupid leg or something.
It's all sort of stupid, but she thinks she's entitled to a little bit of stupid right now. Someone -- one of her mother's alters, probably -- might argue that she's never needed a reason to act stupid, but Kate thinks she's had her shit pretty well pulled together for the past few months. A lot of that's come undone recently, with good reason, and she's still trying to figure out a way to put it back together.
Or trying to decide if she even wants to put it back together. Letting it all fall apart seems like a lot less work.
