[It was for that very reason as to why she hadn't been seen much for the past few weeks. She couldn't just put Chris, Lichty, and Dr. Moreno's deaths behind her, even four years later. Her time on the bridge was mostly silent, only talking when necessary, casual questions answered with the bare minimum. When Feldt wasn't there or helping with standard Gundam maintenance (pointedly avoiding the hangar holding Arios and the 00), she was in her room. Even when she remembered her meals, she'd pick up her food from the mess hall and bring it back to her room. It at least kept on the days when she wasn't hungry.
But today she had stopped to stand alone on the observation deck, staring out the window at nothing at all. Too absorbed in her memories. Replaying moments of her friends-- no, her family. Replaying moments shared with her family in her mind. Better days when Chris had taken her shopping against her will. Better days when Lichty had been cracking awful jokes to try and make Chris laugh, but always failed. Better days when Dr. Moreno had told her stories of her parents whenever they spent that other awful day together just to comfort her.
This is where he would find her. Staring out at nothing, saying nothing, standing perfectly still. Silent save for quiet breathing.]
