Episode: Out of Sequence
Timeline: Before highlander assignment

It had taken a while to really sink in, she didn't really react when she heard it, she had been able to carry on with her day, probably keeping herself slightly more distracted than normal, deliberately giving herself more to do not giving her mind a moment to think and process everything. But now her mind had caught up to her, and hit her like a sucker punch.

She slowly lifted her forehead up off the glass and opened her eyes looking in to the reflection but not quite seeing herself, she was there looking at her reflection but felt numbed and slightly disassociated from it. Her eyes were red rimmed and her face slightly paler than normal, barely visible red streaks ran down her cheeks, she parted her lips to tell her mirror self to just stop, stop crying it doesn't help but just reached up and wiped the tears away looking away from the mirror unsatisfied that she could put her "mask" back in place. 

She was annoyed at not being able to pull herself together more than she had expected, she sank to the floor letting the pieces of herself fall apart again quietly sobbing knees pulled to her chest head in her hands, she could try again in a bit, she just needed a minute she told herself a moment to fall in to the pain she wanted to hide from everyone including herself, if only her mind would let her forget the damn topic, she couldn't seem to shake it. Memories kept creeping in already not upsetting themselves just tasting bittersweet now. 

He'd been found wrists slit note in hand, she hadn't thought he would of actually acted so drastically.
