Mostly. Some days feel easier than others.

You’re pretty new, right? Are you settling in okay?

[trailborn]

A wise man told me how to mourn a lover but I don't know how to mourn losing yourself. It's hard. I remember how it felt for me
we're not supposed to be alive to experience our own loss. It will get easier for you

Settling in fine
I've met some interesting people here

[internship]

Have you—died here too? Or learned about your death? Sorry, that’s such a weird question to ask.

[trailborn]

it's ok

After a battle, an arrow was shot through my liver. I died in my daddy's arms in Montana, a beautiful place called Paradise Valley
have you heard of it?

[internship]

I’m so sorry, Elsa.

I know of Glacier and Yellowstone National Park out there? But I’ve never been. I’ve lived in New York my whole life, so most of our family trips stuck to the east coast.

My, um

my boyfriend tried to save me. But he couldn’t.

So I think I died in his arms, too.

[trailborn]

Maybe that's it.
Oh you're from the city. What's that like?

I'm sorry. He must miss you. Were you in love?

[internship]

I love it. I mean, I loved it. I won’t get to go back, now.

It’s busy and bright and a lot, sometimes. It’s not for everyone. But it’s full of the best people in the world.

He’s here. We do love each other. But I guess he must miss me, too.

[trailborn]

Your heaven will have him with you.
Sounds exciting.

That's beautiful.

[not that her boyfriend misses her (though she thinks it is in its own way) but that they're able to be together here for a second chance at spending time together.]
