Of all their options it seems both the most outlandish and the most effective. If anyone else tried it, it would sound insane-- but they've already dealt with some intense cases, and she can't imagine their lives get easier from here on out. Better to have Mulder explain it-- she doesn't think she can impersonate herself, for one thing, and they want to give the impression that she's truly out of commission.

"I'll let him know," she says, nodding. Mulder's reluctance to interact with Skinner is still unexplained, but she's not going to press it. He doesn't seem to distrust their-- well, his-- former supervisor, at least, so it's worth asking him to help.

"Let me just... get a glass of water, first." It won't take too long to get herself back under control, but it'll be easier to do it if they step away from each other for a moment, first. She looks down at the photograph of William, and then back at Mulder, holding it out silently for him to take. Better to have him keep it safe, as he's done for-- however long.
