[It comes hastily, barely a whisper, because while she sees the hole in their eyes with the rest of the pack...there are moments when he just opens up and he is the hole she left behind.
She's seen him unravel because of his ingrained claustrophobia. She's felt him share her loss when her father gave himself up to Jennifer Blake. She's seen how truly broken Isaac is, and she's watched the connection they share lace him back together into something breathtaking when it's whole, but now...
It's worse because somehow that connection, that tether...death didn't break it. It's still there, still pulling him together when he shatters, and a cold, dark weight hanging off of him when he splits apart and she can see every scar he carries under the surface.
And seeing him like that...strong under her shadow, broken with nothing but her ghost to comfort him despite the fact that she's right there...it hurts so much she doesn't think she can survive it.]

Okay, I won't...I'm here, Isaac. Okay?
