do you think theres a brief period on pabu where omega just. Cries all the time. She cries when she gets up. She cries when shes in town and walks past a house damaged by the imperial invasion. She cries when she gets a glimpse of crosshairs stump. She cries at dinner, because tech should be there. She cries when shes looking for hunter and cant find him.
and she’s doesnt KNOW why shes SO SAD. Everything is okay now! Hemlock is gone! Theyre on pabu! No one is going to take her away again! Echo has promised to look into finding crosshair a prosthetic! Tech has been gone for what feels like ages, why is she suddenly crying about that!
But shes just. So sad that all of it happened. That they took her away from her brothers TWICE. That hemlock was trying to take her away AGAIN. That he hurt her brothers so badly. Why couldnt he just leave them alone???
It helps to just. Curl up close to hunter, under the big tree or overlooking the sea. Let him put his arm around her. She tries to stifle the tears for him, but he just squeezes her and says, its okay to cry, kid. Youve been through a lot. Picks her up and sets her in his lap like a little kid and holds her and strokes her hair until the tears decide to stop. Sometimes wrecker and crosshair will sit nearby, rubbing her back or telling old stories. Sometimes it takes a long time, but hunter swears he doesnt mind. Theyve got the rest of their lives.
