As I teetered on the edge of consciousness, the thought slipped from my lips in a faint, trembling whisper, barely louder than the rain. Let this be it… let me finally find peace.” The world grew darker, like a thick veil had fallen over me. The pain in my body dulled, fading into a strange kind of comfort, as if I were drifting away from everything I’d ever known. I was ready to let go, to welcome the oblivion that was slowly pulling me under.

With this, I no longer owe Remy anything. I closed my eyes, feeling myself slowly leaving this body as my consciousness began to fade.

The flight went by like a blur, the lights in the cabin seemed softer under the effect of the anxiolytic she had taken. The sadness persisted, but now it was shrouded in a veil of numbness, an attempt to temporarily escape the heavy reality that awaited her. At their final destination, Darren guided Kath through the corridors of the airport, helping her to keep her composure in the face of the curious stares and the hustle and bustle around her. Each step felt like a double goodbye, as she left not only her old life behind, but also the promise of love that remained in Philadelphia. In the safe haven they had prepared, the tension began to subside, replaced by relative calm. Still, Kath's ey

The grave would be filled up later by the caretakers of the cemetery and a tombstone, which had already been prepared beforehand, would be placed at the head of the grave once it was done. Finally, we all in unison, gave Nana one final bow, as the last symbolism of passage into the great beyond. After that bow, Dominic’s parents left. Soon after that, the few household staff that had known Nana intimately also left. Then a few minutes later, Jonathan followed suit. Much later after that, Rachel came towards me and squeezed my arm, saying no words but also saying a lot of words of comfort in that gesture. I nodded gratefully at her and returned the same gesture.

That's how people on the edge of divorce should act. Worried Prof. Dalloz might go in harder, I leaned close. "Prof. Dalloz, we're on his plane. Maybe ease up a little?" Another cold snort. But he didn't say a word. Just stared out the window. "I'm gonna rest for a bit," he said, eyes drifting shut. That was the last time he did. He looked the same—head high, back straight. Even in death, he still carried that quiet pride.

Nothing is going to matter once I'm gone. I left the hospital with a numb face and a long prescription for drugs that wouldn't save me, and they would probably just make dying a little less painful. The nurse had handed me the drugs with a solemn smile, and I tried to smile back at her but all I could manage was a tight grimace. When you're so close to dying, you don't really worry about being seen as polite anymore.

She then grabbed her phone Travis and she looked at the screen to see what he had seen a while ago the moment that she laid her eyes on it, she cannot help but to freeze in his position and at the same time, her whole body went numb. She is already numb – some who can interact with her in that one year that she was been away will be able to attest that she had become someone far worse than she is in the past and the fact that she has become lifeless, someone who is fitting to be considered already as a living dead. However, right now, she felt the coldness in her intensify, and also, she felt her whole body getting even more numb than it already is.

Her touch was an anchor, the only thing tethering me to reality when all I wanted was to drift away into numbness. I turned away from the grave, unable to watch as they lowered his coffin completely, the ropes creaking as they played out inch by terrible inch.

I could hear Piper somewhere behind us, her quiet weeping punctuated by Hannah's mother trying to console her. My own mother's stifled sobs. The sound of dozens of people trying to hold themselves together and failing.

Then exhaled. Again. Again. Again. The trembling in my fingers lessened. The dizziness faded little by little. My heartbeat no longer sounded like thunder. It still hurt. Everything hurt. But I wasn't suffocating anymore. I leaned my head back against the damp wall. The tears had stopped without me noticing. Only numbness remained. Complete... Utter... Numbness. The silence around me felt strangely comforting. Nobody expected anything from me here. Nobody wanted explanations. Nobody looked at me with disgust.

She felt numb from her waist down, she couldn’t feel her legs. “Hello, how did your day go?” Nora heard the doctor ask, she had been so locked up in her head that she hadn’t heard him enter the room. “Horribly,” She responded to his question. “I see you can finally speak, good, good, how are you feeling right now?” The doctor asked. “I feel horrible, I can barely move my body and my legs feel numb, my head feels heavy and the injections make me feel dizzy,” Nora complained. “Right, all those are normal, you need the medications to keep the pains away and as for the numbness, you were in a static position for three days right after you had surgery so it is normal and would be gone before you
