Quote: "When you left it was like there was this huge gap to fill, but instead of spreading wide enough to do it, I just fell right in, and I'm still falling. Like I'm half-asleep, and I can't wake up, can't wake up..." I feel sorry for her, she can't get out of being such an invisible person, stuck in this gap, and you want to help her but just can't.
