Redhawk Caldera Doubt is a broken record that plays inside my head

It wasn’t well handled or careful but it was honest, and honesty was all Bridget had left. It hurt more when Teya just let her go, but it also made this decision feel more right. No more pushing herself into the spaces where she would never be welcome. No more throwing herself against walls that would never be open to her.

As Teya closed to her, unknowing, Bridget resolved to do the same. She would keep what remained of their friendship, but she would no longer ask the things she did or try and share the things she had.

She would find other places for that. With a heaviness in her she hadn’t felt in a while, Bridget made her way towards the southern reaches of the Caldera. She needed some time to process this new shape of things to come.
