...does it feel like abandoning everything that once made you happy to try and think of a maybe someday?

[she gets that with his special brand of depression he's just deeply sad and having a hard time finding a will to look for something good in general. but she's curious if that's also it, given his wife and what they were building together.]

That would've probably been it if it was a few weeks ago.

[ It would've been too fresh, too early to move on. Weirdly enough his CYOA helped push closure on him though. ]

Now...

[ There's a well of uncertainty, followed by a sense of wretchedness and level of fear. ]

It's just a lot of things to consider from here on.

[zia really did say that your cyoa was probably good for daan and i'm so scared why that is. but...well.]

Being here is another unexpected chain of events, I'm sure. Before you can even consider any of that, it's considering how to get out of here and press forward. [...] I don't know if it'll ever help you, but you know you can always just...talk out loud about things if you need someone to listen. Trying to put the pieces together in your own head can be messy sometimes.

Thanks for the advice and offer.

I'll keep it in mind.

[ He says, and then rarely ever proceeds to talk about it but that's fine. ]

That's all I ask.

[it's okay she'll bully the hell out of him (gently) in the future, but lowe we can also let this one go since we have three others and also prep for new week.]
