Well, older at least. No, I mean, really. I'm happy to help if I can.
And for what it's worth, I've grieved the loss of enough friends to say ... you deserve a bit of grace. No one makes the best decisions in the thick of it, so don't beat yourself up, regardless of how anything else goes, OK?
[ "I've grieved the loss of enough friends" hits differently than it would have a year ago. Clarisse has seen other rifters go. Jude was her friend. But this is the first time someone who was such a major part of her life has disappeared, and the longer she stays here, the higher the chances are that it will keep happening.
Of course, what's the alternative? Being the one who goes. And the thought of that makes her feel just as sick. ]
