[ It feels like the air has been taken from her lungs. It was one of those moments where she'd been sure she was ready. She'd been trying to rip it off a bandaid but the way her heart clenches, and the familiar anger and pain flood her system, she knows she's still bleeding.
He looks so happy. They'd spent birthdays together, and they'd been happy too, but he was happy there. Ashe hadn't loved her birthdays before him, and she hadn't loved them much after he was gone. The picture suggests to her that he'd had an easier time letting himself be happy again. It's a stark contrast, but that's what they are, right? She'd chosen to buckle under her grief and abandonment issues and he'd sprouted into the light, guided by a man who had made a decision that he was better off without her and Deadlock.

When she finally speaks, her voice is empty and she can't look at him. ] Guess that explains that dumbass belt of yours.
