while she’d known taking him in would be no easy task, this was beyond anything she could have expected. body slumps, head hangs limp. was he doing this just to spite her? it was beginning to feel like he was at this point. her whole body begins to crumble. perhaps it was time she just accepted his fate as well as her own. after all, she’d already lived far too long a life.
