Luz sighed. It always did seem like that, didn't it? Luz felt that pang, that fear that one day, somehow, all the people she cared about would be gone, the final F*** you Trench would give her. But listening to Alessa now, she knew that wasn't true. Sharon wasn't someone she'd just lose like that.

"When I look at Sharon, I also see Rose," Luz said softly. "Rose was one of the strongest people I ever saw, and she was just a regular human. But love pushed her to keep going, to search and search and find Sharon. Rose might be gone, and that's sad...but Sharon isn't. She remembers her, and so do I. Sharon would never be gone, Alessa."

In other words, have fun with the time you had, Alessa. Luz had faith in Sharon. She would come back.
