"How is she?" Gwyn was asking through the phone.

I sighed, tiredly. "I don't know... She's just... Numb. She won't talk, she just eats when she can and sleeps all day. She has frequent nightmares that she never wants to talk about. I don't know what to do, Gwyn."

She sighed, sad and tired. "Just be patient with her. She went through a lot. She got beat up by someone she used to love and care about. Give it some time."

I sighed, massaged my forehead, "I know I know, it's just frustrating, you know? I want to help her so bad, but I don't know how."

"Don't be so hard on yourself. You're there for her, she knows that and that's honestly all that matters."

I sighed, not knowing how to take her words for it.

"Hey, Winston?" She asked through the phone.

"Yeah?"

"One more thing I forgot to mention when I was healing Maddie..."

"Go on..."

"I encountered a mental block on certain parts of her childhood memories when I was looking for any sign of brain trauma up there."
