Erin's voice mail message is in a weary voice: "Erin Peters. If you called in the middle of the night and I didn't answer, I'm dying. If I pick up and someone on your end isn't dying, they will be shortly. Text otherwise."

I do not expect this to sink in just because I text it the one time but honestly Dimitri you are doing useful things. When love and connection and friendship are things people yearn for and are denied it is easy to see them as frivolous rewards or the bounty of a world of peace which you can never see from atop the wall you guard. But they are not luxuries. They are necessities of human life. People die without love as surely as they die without air and it hurts them the entire time that they die.

If the Captain enjoys our despair then the friendship and consideration you offer is a blade sharper than any you could grasp in your mighty hands.

Fine. That's ... fine, it's good, it's fine, he's fine everything's fine.





Erin gets no response, because Dimitri has curled up in the shower to cry.
