Having committed unspeakable acts throughout her life span it had not been uncommon in the early years. Were she not able to end herself then she would not be here now. Having become numb to death for a time she would have made a terrible council. Of course now life was a more precious thing to her.

Emotions run high coming back from this and we want to try and ease her back. And if that means you being here causes undue stress then I will send you out. Do you understand?[/b][/color]"
