"I just don't want to talk to anybody." Softly, gently. "Not even you."

He tried to hold her but felt the reluctance in her body. He has struggled so hard to understand. He has got to understand her feelings as well as his own. His struggle differs from hers. He finally figured that out.

She turns aways. Her body shrinks.

"I'll be the one left to grieve."

It has already started.
