Nocturne Summit diamond heart

when last time you rest or eat?

Since the last full moon, she repeated, and laughed hopelessly. I don't know. When she squinted, the tears that had filmed over her eyes finally welled over and slipped down her narrow face.

She felt like a little girl, wholly at the mercy of the grief which sat in her chest, a cold paperweight that slowly but relentlessly leeched the warmth from her. But what was she grieving for?

You're so kind, Teya, she murmured, the corners of her mouth catching her tears. It scares me, you know.

Shirin laughed again, the same empty noise.
