You really got into her skin, didn't you?

"Lochley started trembling with rage at that moment. Doesn't he see it?! How can he be so blind?! She suspected this long ago. And now she received confirmations for her conjecture more often. Mr. Garibaldi drank in the sly, and drank hard. She was never mistaken in such questions."

The condemnation of the cured...I've had friends who quit smoking become horrible scolds afterwards. 'I made it, why can't you?' Yet she finds her compassion later, using Zoe as her touchstone.

"Lochley passed her hand over her forehead, recalling those long passed days. How many years have passed since then? Twenty? Good Lord! Did all this really happen to her?"

Sometimes your life is cut into slices, with major life events defining the seemingly separate pieces. Integrating those pieces, or at least accepting they made you what you are...growing up? Garibaldi just wasn't there yet, was he?

"Lochley tried to imagine, what Zoe would have done in such a case. Liz always consulted Zoe, though she had been dead for over twenty years.
Yes, Zoe would have acted exactly this way.
She would have approved this."

I simply love this. I like Lochley so much more after reading these pieces. Thank you for writing them.

Thanks for kind words! As I already spoke, I never thought, that I can understand Lochley so to write such stories... But, after that experience I have realized, that I can write about any B5 character. A question only in whether I want to get used to a skin of this or that hero? In fact any B5 character is a deep whirlpool which it is difficult to get out of.
