Through the Living Hope Posted October 4, 2025 Author Posted October 4, 2025 Just now, InfiniteInsanity said: “Aventine? What do you need?” She didn’t answer. She was to the point of sobbing where she began to drool.
InfiniteInsanity she/her Posted October 5, 2025 Posted October 5, 2025 18 hours ago, Spark of Hope said: She didn’t answer. She was to the point of sobbing where she began to drool. Ash stayed right by her. She knew grief was a fickle thing. There’s almost never a right answer on how to help. There’s not often a clear path to healing or a something that can be fixed by a doctor. Ash summoned a bar of light and let it pass through Aventine. It wouldn't fix anything. It couldn’t fix anything. But it could provide a comforting warmth, a small addition of stability of mind, and a protection from any outside being or person who might try to take advantage of Aventine’s grief.

She let out a few more cries and whispered, "I just wanted him to love me..." @InfiniteInsanity Edited October 6, 2025 by Spark of Hope
