"You know how they say that a part of you dies when you lose someone you love? I'm not convinced that a part of you doesn't die every time you see a fellow human pass. And I've seen so many people die that I feel like it's leaching something from my soul."
(Dr. Robby, S02E15)
Please, please all go and read “One Need Not be a Chamber to be Haunted”, by Neige_Nivro / @csstayaway, who had the foresight - or insight - to write this: “How are you holding up?” *
* Given that you failed. That you have a graveyard inside of you that will only get larger with time. That the people you lose will weigh five times more than anyone you save. How are you holding up, considering that you are now a haunted house, filled with ghosts and crumbling under your own weight?
“Fine.” *
* I’m back. I’m here. The walls have held another day and I will trust the foundation to carry me through. I am haunted, but these ghosts are mine , and I have made a space for them where I can tend to their memory. The house, for now, stands.
“When you let the ghosts haunt you, they’re not just loitering around for kicks. […] If you don’t let them go, they’re going to make you one of them.
