Eight shuffles to her room, the weight of each step getting heavier... but it is welcome and she feels free, if sadder for the experience. She has no answers for the two of them. Not yet. She needed time. Yet as she was moving to turn the corner she notices the two standing close together, providing their own support in their own way. Her eyebrows furrow for a moment, only to raise at her realization. Ah...
She rounds the corner, out of sight. Through the mess of everything, she just had one sentiment confirmed. Those two truly did care for one another. Perhaps even enough to be living they way they did over the past week someday. It was... a comforting thought, but one that she had no right to point out. The challenge of realizing that was theirs.
She hopes they do. They would make a cute couple. And knows from experience that they would make any children feel truly welcome.
Her heart ached a little as she closed the door behind her. It hurt, but she welcomed that too.

After all, it was real.
