137 Oh, to have a name we could call while we were crying

"I think we should call it a day," Natha said to the elves, but his eyes still looking at me, and he was still kneeling in front of my chair. 

I gripped his arms, wholeheartedly agreed with his suggestion. I wanted to go back and lay down and...just...

I don't know, my mind was such a mess. 

Jade was nuzzling against my cheek, whimpering from my distress. I couldn't even pretend to be fine, since I was visibly shaking. I knew I looked weird right now--they wouldn't understand why I would have such an intense reaction from recognizing the picture.

And the worst part was...there was really no one who would understand. I couldn't talk to anyone about it.
