Rating: PG.
Summary: Arelie, in the days after.
Warnings: depiction of depression.
Notes: See, less horrible.
She's so tired.
She can't bear to look at herself in the mirror. First she left Farid, then she gave up Ahava-- what kind of person is she, that she can leave them behind so easily? Her lover, her daughter, ghosts in her heart, faces she'll never see again. She feels like a robot, emotionless, empty.
Her sins go further; sleeping with a married man, encouraging him to leave his wife, bearing an illegitimate child. The worst, she thinks, is the leaving, turning her face away and never thinking of return.
Something in her has cracked.
She's just so tired.
