The young woman looked down, suddenly feeling like her head would explode. Was it the crying? Or could it be the alcohol? Mati didn’t know, and couldn’t tell the difference. Her breathing had never been one of her more stable assets, and she struggled to calm the tension in her chest. Placing a hand on her chest and felt it ease, like a hand unclenching. The girl inhaled deeply, the air soothing the pained organs. Tear filled eyes looked at her brother, and she reframed from telling him she missed him. That she had wished he had been there and that maybe their mother wouldn’t have done this if he had. She looked away from him as she thought it; such a lie was like poison. It wasn’t anyone fault, right? It wasn’t his, and it wasn’t hers.

“I don’t know.” She said, though his question wasn't specific, as she tried to control her tears. Mati didnt know why any of this had happened. Wiping them from her face Mati gathered the emotions she had strewn out over his cabin floor and spoke again. “But she has been doing it for awhile, and she’s addicted.” her voice held a harder tone. There was that anger again, the sadness was falling away and Mati thought back at what her sister had said and the blindness she felt Brooklyn suffered from. There was no excuse, and with no remorse their mother deserved banishment. “She didn’t even tell them she was sorry. She didn’t say that to Savina.” How could she not say she was sorry, want to know how the pup was, want to heal her...
