Angela thought about how weird it was to know someone, and then all of a sudden…they're gone forever.
J's death made her think about a lot of things. She wondered… What if she hadn't left that day? Would the course of Gael and J's moment be any different? But it wasn't as if they had been cornered and could have done things differently. J went home as he should and died there. What didn't sit well with her was the possibility that Gael could have gone up with J and gotten injured, or worse… She didn't even want to think about it.
Her dark thoughts about Gael leaving this world came uninvited in her mind, and she shook her head to get rid of them. Just like what he told her, she, too, wouldn't survive if that happened to him.
Angela knew that Gael was grieving in his own way. The way he cried silently to her made her want to keep him safe in her arms. If only there was anything she could do to help take away his pain, she wouldn't think twice.
