Time is the gentle yet relentless force that weaves the tapestry of our lives, stitching together moments of joy, sorrow, growth, and reflection. It is the silent witness to our triumphs and trials, the invisible hand guiding us through the ever-changing landscape of existence. With each passing second, time teaches us patience and resilience, reminding us to cherish the fleeting beauty of each moment, for it is both fleeting and eternal.
Time grants us the opportunity to evolve, to learn, and to love, but it also serves as a poignant reminder of our mortality, urging us to live with purpose and passion. In its infinite wisdom, time offers solace in moments of despair, promising that with each dawn, a new beginning awaits. Let us embrace time not as an enemy to be conquered, but as a companion on the journey of life, for in its passage lies the essence of our humanity.

All she wanted was to forget this place, but now that she's back, how could she leave them again?
Especially with the Apocolypse riding on their heels.
