Eleanor nodded slightly, and after a long silence, she relayed the events of Area Opaca to Hailey.

Hailey listened, stunned for a moment, and then lifted her hand to tenderly touch Eleanor’s thin face, “You’ve suffered a lot.”

Hailey felt for Eleanor and couldn’t help but cover Eleanor’s hand, now skeletal and veiny after months of stress, with her free hand, “If you need to talk, just let it all out to me.”

Eleanor slowly lowered her lashes, “There’s nothing to be upset about. I’m used to it.”
