And I feel like my castle's crumbling down
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
Sohalia had always loved the beach.
It was something she hadn't had until she'd begun to explore Torchline, all those seasons ago when she was young and innocent, before her friendship with Jude had been soured and spoiled and ruined. Now, as she sat with her toes buried in the sand, staring out upon the distant horizon, she was filled not with joy and peace, but with sadness. These past few seasons - ever since her unfortunate teenage love triangle with Jude and Koa - had been filled with nothing but misery. Now she couldn't even sit on the beach and enjoy the sun without thinking of all the things that might have been.
What might have been - what a joke, she thought bitterly. There was nothing that once was that had remained. She and Jude and Koa weren't friends or lovers or anything, really, not now that she'd destroyed any hope of a happy ending for them all. And that didn't even begin to touch on Stormbreak and how it had been taken over by the Family. She was beginning to accept that it wasn't her fault, that there was nothing she could have done to stand against them once they'd decided to get rid of her, but it still filled her with shame. If she was better, if she was stronger, maybe there would have been something else she could have done.
Maybe. Probably not, but maybe.
So here she sat, alone and lost to her thoughts, staring out to sea with an air of sadness that permeated the very air around her. Maybe this was better. Maybe she wasn't meant to be anything more than what she was now. The only question was: what was she now?
She wasn't sure she knew.

And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down
You don't wanna know me now
You don't wanna know me now
