Holding 2 raging hormones in rooms is near impossible. Whatever information I shared (not forwards only official info) was vetoed and argued by more stats from them. And then I was threatened that they will block me if I send any more info (sic)."

She wrote, "I'm waiting. I’m waiting for things I took for granted. All four of us having dinner together. Maurya's rib crushing squash, feeling Aryaman's unruly mop of hair. Walking out in the open air. Going to the theatre. Hugging my friends. Stripping the gloves. Disarming myself off disinfectants and fear. Human contact. Breathing. Breathing freely (sic)."
