This messes with human perception, no clue if the writer is “the” writer, or “you” are “her” entering “your” first story. Think of a mirror image of a mirror image etc. It’s actually quite complex. The lines are blurred between first, second, and third person. Whose who?
Now I’m dying to know the backstory of this fainting figure! I totally thought the key word of the ending was “doilies” though, my own problem, but it confused me for a few seconds. Glad to meet you!
