A week seemed like an entire year, the silence had been deafening and unbearable; Trinity had slipped into a state of depression, nothing nor anyone could deter her from it,
Emotionless, broken, and guilt ridden— she spent her days alone in the basement after Cassandra's funeral, just staring out of the window as the world went on,
That was the hardest part for her, even with her Aunt now deceased... the world kept going,
It wasn't fair and she punished herself, seldomly did she ever not feel as though the confessions she had spewed out, weren't the cause of Cassandra's heart attack,

"It's deja vu," said Soul as he pulled her into his embrace as well "... you're more than welcome to join— I'd love to have you Trinity,"
"I know," she gently caressed his cheek but declined his offer as he dropped his head, yet respected her decision "Take care of my brother, and keep him out of trouble please?"
"Anything for you,"
Walking them to the truck outside, she said her final goodbyes to them both and watched as they drove away; Just as she was about to head back inside— Troy's grandmother called out to her, "Yes ma'am?" Trinity answered
