Summary
"Can he see it, that strand of darkness, of something unseemly and wrong that runs through her? The darkness that is in her lookalike, that is bound to be within her too? Can he see it? Can he see straight through her? She is nowhere near as good of the person as his eyes plead her to be. She is nowhere near as good of a person at all."//

Aria's on the other end of the phone line, Toby's there to pick her up, and she is learning, day by day, to put the pieces back together. //Or, post-finale traumatized babies taking care of each other and doing their best.

Summary
"Spencer knows that there is nothing in the world like pure, simple, unfettered happiness. It is the most comfortable, genuine thing in the universe; a feeling like no other.
And there is no worse feeling than as it fades. As it drains from her chest, as she remembers that she is not a person made for lasting joy. As she remembers that her default state is darkness. As she remembers that with every victory, comes a crash, and she tries to haul herself back up, but she’s so disappointed - just disappointed - that the good feelings did not last forever, that there was a natural progression back to feeling average, that she can’t help but sink into it."Series
