Not really. I was never that close to her or Annie.
02
Hi8ari and Noh were always closer to the two of them than I was.
[ And she doesn't think either of them ever forgave her for the way she let them know about how she'd killed Noh-Varr. It's guilt she still carries. ]
03
8ut we were rover 17. That meant something.
04
I'm pissed. 8ut as usual, what the fuck can we possi8ly do a8out it?
no subject
Annie too, huh? I saw her on Selena so she's not dead, if that means anything to you.
[ He gets why it would. He picked up the literal pieces of one of his rovermates, and has generally lost several others in one way or another. It's not easy when their absence is so pronounced.
And it's bound to happen again, but, ]

You pick yourself up and try to do better next time.
[ Nothing else to be done. ]
no subject
What????????
[ That's the first she's heard of it. ]
02
Come on. Sturmhond himself said she was killed in action during the evacuation of Ajna. I know the CDC can 8ring people 8ack from the dead, 8ut........
[ ... but nothing, maybe. Something about it... it's not that she's not grateful, it just -- feels strange to think about. ]
03
I guess that is kind of a relief to hear. Thanks.
04
Hey, I know that! 8ut you have to admit it's frustr8ing that so much of this shit just happens over and over again.
no subject
I know, I read the post too. But she's alive, somewhere out there. Then again, so are we, so I guess it's not that weird.
[ ...No, it's still weird. ]
FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
Yeah, it's frustrating. It won't stop being frustrating either.
no subject
I guess it's just surreal. It is not foreign to the rules of my universe for the dead to come 8ack, or for death not to 8e permanent.
02
8ut I guess things have felt different since I joined the CDC. It's weird to think a8out that sort of thing just happening now, you know?
03
Ugh, may8e I'm overthinking this.
04
Nope. That's life! Especially here. This might sound depressing, 8ut I stopped putting up a fight against that idea a while ago.
no subject
It's hard not to overthink death.
FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
Do it too much and it can get you killed though. How's that for irony?
FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
And yeah. I did too. Don't need the CDC to teach me that kind of shit.
