Wapun Meadow So I never really knew you

She closed her eyes and turned away, fighting back tears. She didn't want to cry right now, but it seemed her body had other plans; silent tears slipped down her cheeks anyway, and it was a few moments before she could compose herself enough to speak. She drew in a shaky breath and focused her gaze on him once more. Stigmata is dead and Ego is missing, she answered, voice wavering over her son's name. I've been searching for him as much as I can, but I can't leave the other children for very long; they're...inconsolable. She fell back on her haunches as if unable to stand under the weight of everything she was feeling. She was so lost in the sea of her own despair that she hadn't even noticed he was injured.
