I can contact them in...two weeks, maybe? Or next month. I want to give them that reason myself, but I don't want them to feel uncomfortable.

[She's already caused them enough pain, after all. She won't be the reason they feel more.

She pauses for a moment, letting this sink in. The first option is not something she can countenance—which leaves the second option, hard as that is. Because Persephone's right, now she knows all too well what she's capable of if pushed hard enough, even if she wasn't sane at the time. She knows, too, how it affects others, how such loss rips into other people who loved them. So she nods.]

I can learn. I'm a very fast learner. And...next time something like this happens, I'll have learned from this, and I'll do better by everyone else. And I won't go near the big obvious trap, that too. [She fiddles with her sleeves.] I won't let this grief and horror be the end of me. I'll be better tomorrow than I was then.

...I have to be. I don't have a yesterday to lean on.

I think that is wise. Give yourselves both time to heal a little, but not so long that it feels like the issue is being swept under the rug.

[Persephone listens, and nods her head. ]

Good. You cannot let it end you if you can help it, and if you do that, you will be stronger from it. [A smile crosses her lips. ] And to avoid the "big obvious trap", yes.

[ Ah, and that's a little concerning, but she does understand that only too well. ]

Sometimes, our yesterdays are taken away from us, and we can never get them back. It means we fight harder to have a tomorrow worth living for.
