People rarely go crazy all at once, and if they do "snap", it's usually temporary. When an acquaintance seems as if they've suddenly gone insane, the suddenness is usually an illusion based on time. It was so with Gina.
To Helene, it seemed as if Gina had suddenly lost her mind, but, in reality, it had just been a long time since Helene had seen her cousin. Helene liked to joke that their family didn't have reunions; they had wakes. It was only after one of the family died that anyone got together, and that was the case this year, too. Great Uncle Fritz had finally died and Helene coordinated her visit to when her parents would be there. As it turned out, Gina was there, too.
Gina had always been Helene favorite cousin.
