It bites you in the ass, though, shutting down. At three in the morning when you wake up in a cold sweat choking on a combination of your own screams and bile because you’ve got the image of skinned shifters burned into your retinas.

I sat on the bathroom floor, leaning back against the side of the bathtub and panting after yet another wave of nausea had wrung the last dregs of my dinner from me, sweat making tendrils of my hair cling to my forehead, neck, and shoulders.

At least I slept with it braided so I hadn’t actually thrown up into it.

I heard a loud thump from the bedroom and figured Taavi had probably just decided I needed checking on more than he didn’t want to break another leg. My theory was confirmed when he hobbled his way into the bathroom, whining.

“You shouldn’t have jumped off the bed, bud,” I told him. Even to me, my voice sounded like hell.

I felt like hell.

Taavi’s nails clicked on the tile floor as he padded over and promptly inserted himself between my legs, shoving his doggy ass against my thigh and pushing his head under my chin while hooking one front paw on my arm where it rested on one bent knee.

I’d never been hugged by a dog before, but that’s clearly what was happening.

And, on top of everything else that had happened in the last seven fucking days—the MFM riot, Faith Oldham’s Ordo assassination, and now the whole fucking collection of dead Arcanids—it just fucking broke me.

I put my head on his doggy shoulder and let the sobs claw their way out.

I wasn’t going to be able to stop them, so fuck it.
