[Faith's door remains closed, the brass "PRIVATE" plaque silent and unyielding. Trying to force the door yields no results, but- she said you could contact her here, so just go ahead and knock. Worst case scenario, you're no worse off than before, right?]

...I don't know for how long, Lady Shannon. But not forever.

[It can't be forever.]

That would- I'm certain.

[is she though]

[ Her heart clenches. She could barely believe Sayid. She can't believe this. ]

Can you send a message? You could take us, can you just let him know I love him too? Please? I never got to say it back.

[ Everything she'd been feeling for the last 5 days, uninhibited. ]

[shieldof]

If- no, when I find your home. I will.

[something something filled with determination]

[this definitely won't get really tragic at any point]

And- ...I cannot say when. I am sorry. But you will yet get the chance to deliver it in person someday.

[ The sentiment is too good to be true, but the very thought of it— well, it just sends Shannon spiraling into sobs, burying her face in her arms as she does.

She...may not really be able to do anything but cry for a little bit, Faith. Sorry. ]

[slide a handkerchief across the desk for shannon]

[don't be cry]

[reflectsdargent]

[ i'm gonna be real faith she is not even gonna notice it i am so sorry

there was this one german web game i played in college about rehabilitating abused stuffed animals and there was this turtle who had a mental block and when he realized it he just cried and cried and cried until he ran out of tissues and kept crying after that, and you're like, shit, what do i do? how do i help the turtle?

but the answer was, you just had to wait and let him cry. sometimes the turtle just needs to get it all out.

what i am saying is in this scenario shannon is the turtle. you just kinda gotta let her cry. ]
