I suddenly feel numb, my mind goes blank, and I forget where I am. I don’t know what’s just happened, I am on the ground, looking down at a dead body I don’t recognize. I look at an old, shriveled woman’s peaceful face. I remember her all of a sudden, Adaa. Adaa, my only family, my companion ever since I was alone for the first time, I helped her and she helped me, and we took care of each other. We were both alone, and now I’m reminded of all the times we’ve gone through together, and so many feelings start going through my mind. I feel sad, because she is gone, grateful, because she was there for me, angry, because everybody always leaves me, and confused, because I do not know what comes next. The tears start pouring down, and I don’t know if they’ll ever stop. I don’t want to cry, and I feel like I shouldn’t—After all, I have already lost so many people before her, but this just seemed to be the last straw, and I’ve broken down.
