"Grief is not as heavy as guilt, but it takes more away from you."

"I don't want to die anymore. I am up to the challenge of bearing the guilt and the grief up to facing the difficulties that life has put in my path. Some days are harder than others, but I am ready to live each one of them. I can't sacrifice myself this time."

Resilience

"I pull my foot back again, but Four's hands clamp around my arms, and he pulls me away from her with irresistible force.

His eyes too wide; they look alarmed. "I think you should leave," he says. "Take a walk." I'm fine," I say. "I'm fine now," I say again, this time for myself.I wish I could say I felt guilty for what I did.I don't."

Conflict
