Brayden: Gramma, I broke the sink in Chloe’s room.

Maia: That’s all right, kiddo. I’ll take care of it.

Maia: How’s your head feeling?

Arushi: Still seeing double, but I think I can walk the rest of the way myself. I’m Arushi Bijania. Those assholes back there were the ones trying to hunt me down. Slavers.

Maia: Have they ever said the name Juniper?

Arushi: Red hair? Gods, she looks just like you.

Maia: So they did take her?! Where?

Arushi: She lead a breakout for me and the others this morning. They... They gunned her down when she stayed behind.

Maia: Adam...

Adam: No... No!

Maia: Hey?

???: ...

Maia: Can you hear me?

???: Head injury, ears ringing...

Maia: My name’s Maia. I’m looking for my daughter—

And then Aurora brought Chloe out to see her first snow, just like she did with Ben! :)

These two were autonomously comforting one another T_T

Abel and Maia had an autonomous date. I think they’re trying to repair their marriage.

Nicolas and Maia hoist Elaine over their shoulders, carrying her with their hands. She doesn’t respond. Her body is limp and unmoving, that of a dead thing.

“She--she’s dying!” Nicolas cries out, tears running down his face. He looks over at his sister Maia, and sees that tears are running down hers, too.

“No, no no no! This can’t be happening, this can’t be happening...!” She mutters under her breath, helping Nicolas bring their mother closer to the church even as her vision blurs.

Shawn looks back at Elaine and her children, and his heart breaks. He points them to the bench outside of the doors, already knowing what must be done. He feels the darkness of anguish blacken his heart, but he can not cry.

A second wife dead before me, he thinks, and a cornerstone to our safest harbor. Four pillars that built us up, now only three. No one will take her place.
