but then, for reasons eden can't understand, river starts to grow more and more distant. in response, eden starts doubting herself again. she becomes obsessed with her research, and starts spiraling, neglecting her phyiscal and mental health in order to prove herself, and to claw back some sense of control after the one person she thought trusted her starts to push her away.

then one day river leaves, suddenly, and without a message or goodbye note.

wouldn't it feel like what they had meant nothing? worse, that river never believed in her in the first place? we see eden lash out at kat for allowing river to do this, but wouldn't it feel like a huge betrayal from river hirself too?
