Micah gently stroked Freya's head, a smile of understanding forming on his lips. "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Micah, please, you have to get better. You can't leave me behind. We... we still have so many things we haven't done. Everything feels unfinished." Freya hugged him tightly, her voice hoarse and full of emotion. She was truly scared. If Freya had known that Micah was holding onto an idealized memory of someone who had been flawless in every way, it might not have hurt as much. But with Arin, things were different.

Setting aside everything else, it was clear that some choices had been offered to Arin, but she hadn't taken them.

Freya didn't want Micah to spend the rest of his life drowning in guilt.

Micah continued to gently caress her head. "I understand everything you're saying. Don't worry, I'll do my best to pull myself out of this darkness."

Freya had always said she didn't care about these things, and Micah knew where the real issue lay. He wouldn't hold it against her.

Micah knew the logic of it all, but no matter how much he understood, he couldn't move past the emotional barrier inside him. After all, Arin had died because of him. She was right there in his arms, with each breath fading away. Wilfred empathized with his pain. He hypnotized Micah, delving deep into his mind to help soothe his turmoil.
