[Helena is one of the Mirror additions, but she has been silent, scared and hiding, unable to quite believe or trust the fact that this Barge is different. And even if it is, it will change back. They will be sent back. It would be worse to find a place here, then have it torn away. And besides, Dillon is here and she doesn't want to make him angry.
It's been a few days. She speaks to no one. She stays in shadows and comes out of her cabin rarely, usually late at night and early in the morning. She doesn't use the showers, doesn't use the network, doesn't visit the dining hall during mealtimes. She stays in her room-- but it's not her room, here it's Sarah's room, and she finds herself hungry to know why and how. She plays old conversations her other self has had and listens, fascinated and frightened, and part of her wants so badly for the friends the other her has made to be her own, while another part reminds her sharply that some of these friends are the worst kinds of wardens on her rightful Barge.
There's rot around her counterpart's door. This is one of those rare times when she leaves the cabin, finally needing to collect more food from the dining hall, and when she returns she finds maintenance working there. Instantly, she turns to leave, hands deep in her pockets, hood up and covering her hair.]
