[Tali is not so good at blocking out the ghosts, the hallucinations, whatever they are. They walk where she walks, fight when she fights, speak when the silence is otherwise enough to drive her insane. And sometimes the things they say are not things she ever wanted to hear.

[Time works in funny ways here. Not just in the classical sense, but in the way that things just aren't so easily gotten over when you know they're waiting for you when you one day return, exactly as you left them. They freeze, and if they froze in an ugly place there's no thawing them and letting them go. It's just a matter of how well you can suspend them in your mind - if you can at all.]
Don't mind me. I just never get used to this.
[She has, if anything, gotten used to the fact that there is no getting used to people leaving. Bittersweet just doesn't quite cover it.]
