[ Fuck. That's right! She's missing a hand! Caroline didn't know that!! Lottie pales at that, unable to come up with a lie that would even remotely explain how something as big as her typing hand is suddenly demolished. Should she act sad? Defeated? What's appropriate that Caroline won't judge her too harshly for? All this and more circulate through her brain by the time a second has passed, after Gray has asked that titular question. ]

I-it's nothing!!

[ She insists, first and foremost, a strained sort of smile gracing her lips when she speaks to Gray. ]

It's.. It's not nothing, but.. I'm fine now! I'm okay.. I'll, I'll figure something out. Don't worry. I'm also left-handed, so..

[ Lottie even knows that this is a terrible excuse for comfort, but she tries anyway, sweat peppering her temple beneath her bangs. ]
