Breakdown (drabble)
When Lucy died, Lucas broke down.
She came back so it'd been alright in the end. Even if she returned different - more confident, less little sister. The one in charge. So what if her heart didn't beat? He loved her perhaps more than when she was alive for having thought her lost to him.
When Lucy died a second time, he didn't break down again. He couldn't, having used it all up the first time around.
Yet he loves her even more now that she'll never return.
She is forever lost to him; he in turn, lost to the world.
