( It's tiring in a way that leaves the soul exhausted. To be trapped here for so long that the anxiety of who you'll lose next is just background noise in the back of your head, something that never quite goes away no matter how much you try to ignore it.
Giving up would be easier. To hide and harden herself again night make her get through this without constantly feeling the weight and worry. But Kate hates the very thought of it, of returning to that way of living. Remembers the horror that curled in her stomach when every surface in the city reflected their worst dread. )
'M used to that.
( Pressing on through a job she hated, through training for a new one that was so far away from everything she thought she was good at.
But it's just... tiring. And worse still to see her friends go through it again and again. )
Coming to bed?
( It is, for once, said without any weight or implication behind it. Just a request to stay with her tonight. )
