ctb
That's thoughtful of you, but she won't be playing any more games.
I was with her for her last half hour last night (my time zone), and for many hours the night before, by phone. The first night she clearly intended to ctb, but was very nervous and ultimately wasn't able to. When her deadline for catching the bus had passed, and another 2 and a quarter hours had gone by I told her "I don't think you're ready to catch the bus". I suppose you could say I talked her out of it. She put the gun down immediately, and went to bed soon after. She phoned me last night and asked me to be with her again, and this time I could tell, from the tone of her voice, that she would do it. I talked to her, and tried to make her last moments on earth as pleasant and peaceful as I could. I heard the gunshot. Then there was nothing,
She has made arrangements for Mocha. Mocha will be OK.
She was a lovely girl, and I got to know her a bit over those two nights. She told me a lot about herself. I won't reveal any of her personal information except to point out that her real name, Yūnus (which has already been mentioned on this thread or I wouldn't mention it now), means "a dove" in the language of the country she came from (which is not the country she moved to some years ago). It's a beautiful name.
I'm torn to pieces emotionally. That will pass, but I will never be quite the same person I was. I will always remember her.
