[...okay. and feeling nothing mattered? she knew that feeling all too well. she'd felt it when she'd left Christian, even though she understands now it was the best decision she could have made. and she'd felt it now that Connor was gone.

she could barely bring herself to rise from the couch to do things like eat and shower and go to the bathroom. it felt like it was someone else doing all of those things, that she was still locked in a moment of time with Connor.

but at least Connor wasn't dead. she had that to cling to. that was...far more than Tomoe had]
