Ori put her journal down, weighting it with a half-brick, and walked to the edge of the roof, where she stood, just looking down. I could jump. I might as well jump
She leaned over, the wind causing her to sway lightly. This body felt so light she could almost imagine it floating down to the ground, the breeze dropping her gently to the pavement. She flinched away from that image and replaced it with the likely reality- a quick fall and a moment of pain before death. Again.
That she could deal with, better than Dessa's words and Roy's actions. She deserved the one and not the other, and she couldn't live with them, as far as she could tell.
But if she died... she'd never be able to see either of them again. Ever. But would that be so bad, if they were actually sane and hated her forever? She couldn't see how Roy could still love her. It didn't seem possible, no matter how powerful love was.
She stood there, trying to decide.
