[ Sarah's lounging in bed, hair up in a ponytail, and she doesn't have much to say except: ]

Why are there no old people here? You know, like...I'm going to go out on a limb and say I definitely haven't seen anyone over 60. And I'm talking visually. Don't be a smart ass and tell me you're over 1,000, I get it, some of you are immortal or magic or...whatever. I'm just saying, no one appears to be over the age of, I don't know, post mid-life crisis.

I wonder why that would be? Wonderland has a youthful aesthetic to maintain? If you're over, say, 65 in human years, raise your hand.

[ Sarah bites her bottom lip, letting out a heavy breath. ]

My brother and I, we uh. We had a childhood best friend. Her name was Taylor. She and I were the same age. And when we were five, she...disappeared. Kurt's spent his entire life looking for her. We thought Jane might be her but...she's not.

[ For now, Sarah omits the rest of that story. This is the only relevant piece for today. ]

And I just...thought...what if Wonderland brings her here? Because this place likes torturing people so much and that would kill Kurt.

[ Sharon goes quiet, wondering if this was the betrayal - or part of the betrayal - Jane had told her about. Sarah and Jane's world might actually be even more dramatic than Sharon's own. ]

It's possible. [ She speaks slowly, choosing her words with care. ] If that would really hurt Kurt, though, it's likely that something about her will show up during an event. Wonderland seems to know everything about us, and if it knows that Taylor would hurt him... I'd definitely be on the lookout for that.

[ Nothing is probably more dramatic than Tony Stark on any given day, but. That's a digression. Anyway. ]

Fantastic. Gotta fucking love Wonderland.

[ Sarah takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, then manages a small smile at Sharon. ]

I'm sorry. I took this conversation down a bummer road.

Don't you just? [ Sharon's tone is wry. She understands.

Her eyebrows raise and her lips press together when Sarah mentions the bummer road. ]

Yep. Yes, you did. But it's Wonderland. Wonderland is pretty much at the corner of Bummer Road and What the Fuck Is It Now Avenue. Don't worry about it.

So if I see some kid running around calling herself Taylor, do you want me to shove her in a closet or empty room until you can give Kurt a heads up?
