   Summary

   Weissaupt has fallen, and the Veilguard are licking their wounds at the Lighthouse in the aftermath. Each has their own struggles, their distractions, but Sylvia Mercar should be able to swallow hers. The Caretaker suggests a walk and sends her through the eluvian to somewhere familiar, yet foreign. She doesn't belong here. She never wants to leave.

   A gift for Hekaerge-Athenias, high recommend reading her fic Quantum Satis (As Much As Needed) first as this fic spoils some major plot elements. M for the stuff in the tags seriously.
