0.9 Mourn/Estar de Luto

Vydia breathed heavily in and out, staring at the grave before her eyes. Her teeth were clenched, swallowing the knot at the back of her throat watching as Five finished patching up the dirt.

The snow blew into Vydia's face, landing and melting in her hair. Her hands clutched a piece of cloth to prevent her nails from digging into her skin. She kept repeating in her head, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry to shut away from any emotion she was showing.

But she couldn't.

One by one, teardrops fell from the corners of her eyes. Vydia aggressively wiped the tears away, she turned from Five and geo-leaped someplace elsewhere. She didn't want Five to see her like this.

Vydia paced to reached her destination, her glitches activated from the amount of emotion she was experiencing. She couldn't travel far before her knees gave out inside their shelter. Vydia leaned against the wall, bringing her knees to her chest, and cradling her face. Vydia cried into her hands uncontrollably.

Vydia hated the horrendous feeling washing over her body, her body shook as it was hard to breathe sobbing into her hands. She ran her hands through her hair, tugging it out of anger. Vydia hadn't experienced true loss before and she couldn't handle it.

Five found Vydia, spatial jumping to her side, "Vee. Stop, you're hurting yourself," he pried Vydia's grip off her hair.

"It hurts so bad," she cried. Vydia tucked her head into Five's chest, wanting to get the excruciating pain to leave her body.

Five brought her closer to him, he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and ran his hand through her hair. He let Vydia let everything out.

The anger riling up in Vydia made her want to bring havoc, she wanted to crush everything in her path. Vydia remembered cradling Thomas's frigid corpse in her hands and apologizing, asking him to come back. Vydia was supposed to do the one thing a mother was supposed to do, to take care of her child and she failed to do so.

The pain in Vydia's cries made Five hold her tighter, he wished he could make all the emotion she was experiencing go away to relieve her. But all he could do it sit there and say, "I know."

No matter how hard Five and Vydia kept Thomas healthy, his death was inevitable.
