》 Bryce's eyes stung as she smiled softly, then read through Connor's last words to her.
Message me when you're home safe.
Bryce began typing. The answer it had taken her two years, nearly to the day, to write.
I'm home.
She sent the message into the ether, willed it to find its way across the gilded river and to the misty isle beyond.
And then she deleted the thread. Deleted Danika's messages too. 《

I cannot express how much the above scene impacted me. How this broken character held onto text messages that meant to much to her. How she was unable to part with friendships. How she could not accept the harsh reality that her friends would never come back. Just thinking about this scene makes me cry. Thinking about the journey that Bryce went through to come to this point, to this moment of acceptance and willingness to let go. It was an amazing journey of healing and learning and something that I think about often in my own life.

》 Tears began rolling down her face as she beheld the nearly invisible figures. All six of them-the seventh gone forever, having yielded her eternity. But the tallest of them, stading in the middle with his hand lifted in greeting...
Bryce brought her hand to her mouth, blowing a gentle kiss. 《

And lastly my second favorite moment. The goodbye that Bryce needed. The closure that she deserved.
