number_eight | 274 - What question do you most dread?

Seriously? You're asking me this?

Easy. It's the same one I've always dreaded. The same one Karl has, the same one I'm thinking about right now as I sit and cry and wait for people to decide if this mission matters or not. It's the same question that's running through my mind right now, even though I know the truth. Karl tries to cheer me up, to tell me that things will be fine, but after Boomer... after...

There's just nothing left in me to break. It's all gone now, and I think I've got nothing left to give to anyone. Sure, fine, so I'd rather sit in my quarters and feel depressed about everything, the same way I did back when I thought my daughter was murdered, back when I found out she was alive and kidnapped, back when I thought she was sick and I had to go to Dogsville for her to get some shot, back when I hated everyone and everything except myself for taking a year of my daughter's life away from me while I was stuck in hack on Galactica...

Back when I first found out what Boomer had done.

It's always been the same question.
