*Irene sat and listened to the clergyman reciting, but didn't absorb a single one of the words. She tried to tell herself that Francis was now free of his curse, but she just couldn't do it.*

((There's not much she can do about the damage we have planned. . But she could at least stop by.))

((Ahaha! *Feels guilty* )) When the sermon was over and the visitors filed past the casket to pay their final respect, Sydney walked over to Irene who just sat there looking devastated. "I...don't know what to say," she said quietly as she sat down next to her.

"That you're sorry for threatening to kill him once?"
*Irene looked up and sighed*
"It's my fault. If it hadn't been for me, Dracula never would have ordered this."

"Irene, you couldn't have seen this coming," Sydney said honestly. "You can't blame yourself for thing."

"Thanks", *she whispered.* "But I can't help thinking about it."

Sydney sighed deeply and hung her head for a moment before speaking again.
"It's going to stay with you," she said hoarsly as she tried to keep back tears. "It never goes away. But day-by-day, you learn to deal with it."
Sydney tried to keep the images of Danny out of her mind as she spoke. She knew what it was like to feel responsible for a death...

Sydney bit her lip hard and hugged Irene tightly.
"I know," she sighed, trying her best to keep back her tears. "I know..."

"It's funny. Before we met, I didn't feel any need for a constant male companion. Now, this big house just seems so empty."

Sydney pulled away and tried to smile. "...I'm here if you need me," she said caringly.
"Drinking buddies?" Sydney said, trying to lift her spirits a little.
