memory: paranoia / everything is under control
( season 4, episode 10 )
[This memory is odd -- it slips through time, it feels a little disjointed, like Kohime herself wasn't really having the greatest of success in anchoring herself to reality.
She's in a control room, numerous monitors and control panels lit as she flips through different surveillance scenes of the various Horde occupied territories every few seconds until she stops on a shot of the Whispering Woods. She says Scorpia's name with (let's be real here, slightly unhinged) intensity and zooms the shot in -- apparently she was seeing things, though, as there's nothing there.
At about that point a squadron returns. She goes to meet them and asks if they saw anyone -- then corrects herself, anything, and when Lonnie tells her 'no' she orders them back out even though they're returning from a double shift.
Then she's back at it again in front of the monitors, flipping through every few seconds -- it feels like it could've been a few minutes, maybe hours, maybe days? She certainly hasn't been sleeping, and you can add auditory hallucinations to her list of problems now as she hears Scorpia laugh and reacts, getting up to greet her -- only no one is there! She roughly scrubs her face, telling herself to get it together.
She watches one of the squadrons come in, and Lonnie is among them (so some time must have passed?) and she goes to drag her into the control room, confronting her and demanding to know if they were talking about her and laughing at her. Lonnie tells her everything will be fine if she just lets the troops rest, and she responds that "Everything isn't fine! Scorpia would be here if everything was fine!" and breathing harshly. She turns on Lonnie, who looks a little alarmed (which is probably fair, with how erratic she's behaving) and she laughs caustically, telling her to "Just leave, like everybody else."
When Lonnie bolts, she grabs a tracker pad and tries to call Double Trouble, who doesn't respond to her calls. Tearing up, she grips the pad hard enough it shatters and throws it to the ground before collapsing.
At some point, she's tearing the room apart in a rage, shattering monitors and throwing equipment.
At some point, she's due a check-in with Hordak. She reports to him with an eerily placid tone and smile as she reviews the current status of the Horde occupied lands and that "everything is under control", but after he signs off, she slips off her mask and collapses on the ground amid the wreckage she's made of the room and breaks down, sobbing.]
