[It's painful to hear. She sent him off on such a long shot. Caterina didn't really believe anything would come of it and yet... a part of her still wished desperately Wade had returned with something. She doesn't know how to truly live without Abel anymore. And he... he was always supposed to be with her so why did he-?

Caterina banishes the thought before it can go any further. He's not going to finish that sentence, is he? She should do it for him.]

He's really dead; gone. I understand... and don't apologize. You've done your best. I can't ask for anything else.

[Again everything she says sounds empty. Caterina plays with her hair idly as she continues.] These things happen here, don't they? We can't control them. Nothing's really in our control so don't... There's no need to feel guilty about it. You really did do your best.

[Now she's just repeating herself so she stops talking.]
