    Summary

    ...

    Direct follow up to 1x06 "Meltdown". A few hours after the end of the episode, Helen and Dale talk, and try to figure out what to do.

    ...

    "By the time he made it to her place, thirty minutes after her as promised, she’d already downed a couple of heavy-handed glasses, along with a couple of pills, finding her half-passed out on her couch, her sleep-deprived metabolism no match for what she’d put in her system.

    He’d helped her into bed, fully clothed, only removing her earrings and her watch, like he had a few times before. He could have gone the moment she crashed; he didn’t.

    He’s still here, hours later, their relentless thoughts slowly filling up the room with a heavy kind of tension, until it’s smothering her more tightly than her stupid jacket."

    Summary

    *FINAL CHAPTER (13) added June 23rd 2023*

    ~~~

    “To say you've experienced a trauma is an understatement. You need to process what you’ve endured over the past two months.” Post Marionette story, in which Olivia’s trauma from her time Over There is actually addressed. P/O.

    ~~~

    "She was replaced instead. She was replaced by a version of herself that was less…broken.

    Less intense, maybe.

    And there lies the problem. Olivia cannot compete with that. Peter may have come back when she asked him to, the woman he then spent the next eight weeks with was happier, quicker with a smile.

    This thought swirls in her head and squeezes her heart every time she inadvertently shows him just how damaged she's become, the way she did today in that elevator. It makes it impossible for her to accept any kind of comfort from him, too afraid of the pity she will find in his eyes, because it would confirm what she suspects, what she already knows: that she is, indeed, the lesser version. The one that was left in the dark.

    She's still in there, now; frozen to the bone."
