Loss

 Kristen was devastated when she heard the news.

She waited for Cebolla to return to ask what happened.


Though Cebolla knew she couldn't just drop it all on her. 
"I'm so sorry" 


Cebolla was atleast happy that Kristen wasn't going to be alone through this.


As they planned the funeral over the phone with her mother, Ringtail helped with comforting her. 
I like how he's looking at the heart float away


Being busy during the day, they went to visit her family in Nordhaven in the evening. 
"It's freeeezing, Kristen said it wasn't" Cebolla shivered


Inside Kristen found the alter for her father. She spoke some words to him, she never got to make amends with him.


"Hey Sabrina, I'm sorry about your Dad. How are you feeling?"
"Um.. I'm ok"


"It's okay to cry if you want to. Holding it in isn't any good".


"If you need anything, just say the word. Or if you need someone to talk too, I'm there too"
Sabrina smiled a little after hearing that.


Ringtail certainly helped her with a smile


Outside Kristen spoke with her mother, Eleanor. She was devastated with the news, but for her daughters she was strong. She just wishes it didn't have to be that with with her husband.
They discussed last minute funeral preparations. It was going to held the following morning. 
Cebolla and Ringtail sat away from them to give them space to mourn together.


She joined them near the end, and thought to herself.
"Wolfie told me I should atleast get her mother's permission, but I can't do it now"


Returning home, they went to rest. They were leaving early again in the morning. Kristen had on her brave face all day but now that his funeral was nearing, it was becoming harder to keep on.


However there was one thing she couldn't stop thinking about.
Kristen knew her parents had temporarily separated weeks ago. Her mother asked Johan to reflect on himself, and to change so he can come back better. But he never got that chance.
That stayed in her mind, not just his loss but everything that was left unfinished. It made her think about her own life. 
Her and Cebolla broke up before, and almost became unfinished too. She didn't want that for them, to wait for the perfect time, she didn't want to become an 'almost' either. Kristen knew exactly what she wanted for them.


A/N -  I'm so glad Kristen had this want. Johan's death happened on the 19th and I haven't opened this save until the 22nd because I wasn't sure what to do, even as the funeral plans happened. 
I honestly considered a path where Kristen blames Cebolla, and it would've completely ended everything for them. It was so close to happening but her having this want after visiting her family, changed my mind. Thank You Kristen ❤️
