sometimes i wonder what if oz died in that pool (and daphodil was secretly dating before he died)
paramedics had to pry oz’s body out of daphnes arms.
i believe karadec would have had to tell oz’s mom because daphne wouldn’t be able to.
daphne was the one who arrested matthew clark. she gave oz the justice he deserved.
soto planned the funeral with input from daphne and oz’s mom.
karadec visited once a week, on saturdays specifically. he brought flowers and food for daphne since he knew she spent all day at his grave saturdays.
morgan visited once a week, sometimes a weekend, sometimes before a shift, sometimes after shift. after tough cases she’d go talk to his grave, talk about how daphne was during that case. stuff he’d wanna hear.
soto visited before shifts atleast one-two times a week. always bringing flowers.
daphne would visit oz’s grave everyday either before shift, during her lunch break,or after shift. sometimes she visited more than once in one day. saturdays, she spent all day there. she always brought oz’s favorite candy.sundays, she visited his mom, had lunch, then they went to go to his grave.
daphne kept a polaroid of them taped on the corner of her computer, she also kept a picture of him in a frame on her desk. even getting a clear phone case and keeping a photo booth strip that oz insisted they did together in there. she had a bunch of photos of them in her apartment. she blamed herself for not being worried after he didn’t answer by the 3rd call.
karadec kept a photo of oz on his desk. just a reminder that oz is watching over him. he also kept one by his bed in his apartment. he blamed himself, if he didn’t brush off oz not showing up cause of his lateness, they would’ve left the gala earlier to go rescue him.
morgan actually used her desk when he died, she had a photo of oz on there. she also had one in her bedroom on the wall. she blames herself wishing she had noticed he wasn’t there.
soto kept a photo of oz on the wall in her office, and in her office at her home. she blamed herself for not assigning him an officer.
soto told daphne she could come into her office if she needed a break. no questions asked, daphne could just come in as long as soto wasn’t meeting with someone in there.
when daphne got a new partner, she accidentally called him oz, he asked “who’s oz?” and she went to the bathroom and broke down crying. soto gave her the rest of the day off with no questions asked. she missed him too much. she took a month of paid leave.
eventually karadec and morgan’s visits to the cemetery became once a month. sotos became after extremely tough cases. daphnes visits never changed, she went every day.
daphne never dated or fell in love again.
her new partner confessed his love to her and she said “i have a boyfriend.”
she wore his suit jackets to work sometimes, only her new partner questioned why she was wearing a blazer so big. morgan and karadec immediately stepped in.
on the death anniversary of oz, soto gave the team the day off and had a memorial for him at the cemetery. daphne gave a speech that had everyone including herself crying. she then spent the rest of the day at the cemetery.
part of daphne died when oz did. he knew her the best out of everyone. he let her vent, he didn’t judge her, he always got her to laugh in serious situations.
when he died, she became more of a serious, closed off person. how she was before oz became her partner.
morgan, karadec and soto were so happy when they got her to smile or laugh, even if it was a soft one.
eventually everyone else moved on, still visiting the cemetery sometimes but..
daphne was the woman who couldn’t be moved. she never stopped visiting. she never fell in love again, she never got her spark back completely.
