[It takes a little time for Kesara to respond, because before she can respond she must go for a while to bury her face in her backpack and scream.

This is the fifth time someone has called her to tell her someone was dead or dying, though the first time she'd heard from someone of their own impending death. She'd kept count. She almost has a routine for it by now. She truly does think it should have become easier. It hasn't. It's happened and happened, and she'd survived and gotten through it and even Mr. Solomons has already died once already and made it back to shake her hand, and she'd been brave and not angry and not afraid and she can't she can't she can't

At first she thinks she'll cry, but instead, she finds herself screaming until her voice is gone.

So she appears to him on the screen, red-eyed, hunched, panting. Not calmer, but at least exhausted. She opens her mouth to speak but only a croaking little cough comes out.

Instead she raises a hand and shakily presses the tips of her fingers to the tablet. A tiny gesture. He'd have seen her do it before when talking to Zach. It's what she does when she's desperate to touch someone who is impossibly far out of her reach.]
