ALPHA CORVIN
My world stopped yesterday.
Not physically, of course. My heart continued beating, my lungs continued drawing breath, my body continued functioning as it always had. But inside of me ceased to exist when Beta Marco informed me about her accident.
How can I explain it properly? I have been thinking about how to put this feeling into coherent words but I have failed repeatedly to explain it even to myself.
It is absolutely crazy that as soon as Marco burst into my office and said those words - "The vehicle Amaris was in just had an accident" - my entire world just stopped moving. I could not move my body, could not think clearly, could not even process what he was saying for several long seconds.
I had only felt that paralyzing terror once before in my entire life and that was when I was informed that Freya had died in that fire a year ago, when they told me her body had burned beyond recognition.
