It's not something someone's keen on repeating, even if there's the proof that they come back. Even if Jeff was here, and Bash was here - she forces herself to sip, to not state anything stupid about coming back the next day and how that numbs you to death until that certainty isn't there anymore. That is nothing compared to what he must have felt, the entire world falling in.

No matter how beat up and beaten down they got. No matter the levels of indignity they suffered. You kept going, kept fighting. You kept hoping.
