Belatedly

Depression kills a person very slowly, and very excruciating. As far as Tegan knows, it's part of her life. No one seems to notice, or pretty much care. Tegan is very conservative when it comes to her emotional life, and to everyone she appears as that "dull" person, which they try to avoid. Sometimes things can happen so quickly that she doesn't realize she's trapped, and no one seems to notice. Family can turn out to be a bit too belated on her status.
