I wandered back to the city again. I'd been spending more time there as I wanted to learn more about the city. I was eating at the sushi place Ree and I often hung out at when a female calling herself Heather gave me dreadful news.
Fluffy had taken her own life.
The words stuck me so suddenly I didn't have time to respond. I had seen Fluffy only a few days ago. Granted she was not in her right mind as she was high, but she seemed fine. I have no idea who this Heather woman is nor where she came from, but she insisted that she knew Fluffy prior to her coming to Midian. I don't even know if the information is true
I don't want it to be true.
I keep hoping she just out somewhere like before, leaving a goodbye note or something.
I ran back to the Den, chasing after Lily who essentially had the same reaction as me.
I've gotten into the habit of showering when stressed, perhaps the water will wash away the pain or something. I did feel better and more focused afterwards though.
Lily remained on the roof. I did not bother her. We both needed time to ourselves after that news. Despite her craziness, Fluffy was a good loyal friend. It bothered me that she could have been dealing with something so serious all alone. I would be mindful to stay close to those still here...
