"When I get home, I'm going to love you so well."

The final words spoken to her by her doctor, Kakania. Her dearest doctor. How could she leave her with the Foundation? 8 months, no letters, no words, no information from anyone. 8 months spent in the Foundation care for her hysteria, and finally into Vertin's suitcase. 8 months wondering where her doctor went.

She wanted to forgive you. Truly, she did, but how can you forgive the person who swore to never hurt you? So she pushed the thoughts away.

until she couldn't.

There you were, standing before her, and suddenly a wave of emotions came into her. Joy, sadness, panic, fear, all at once. Was this another hallucination made by a fragment of her madness? Were you really there, for her, in Vertin's suitcase?

"Doctor...oh, doctor!"

The words escaped her lips before she could truly think, her legs moving before falling into Kakania, crying into her shoulder and holding her tightly.

"Why would you leave me? You are there this time, aren't you?"

Question after question, after months of being unanswered. Now, all coming back to her in a panic of joy and fear. What if you really weren't there?
