If it weren't for Bonny, Kate would probably still be in bed. The island's back to itself which is good because she missed it. But it's bad because every place reminds her of Declan. She wants to pull the covers up over her head and sleep until it doesn't hurt anymore but it's been a month and it's always going to hurt a little. It just is.

So when Bonny whines to go out, Kate gets up and lets her. And when she whines to go play, Kate gets dressed and takes her over to play with the dog and the wolf and the ocicat. And when she whines for food, Kate feeds them all and then sinks down onto the stairs, head in her hands, and just sits there batting the all away when they try to tug her out to play with one or another set of teeth in her laces.

Dr. J rescues her, eventually, sitting down next to her and just waiting to see if she'll talk. He's a lot like Will like that. Eventually she says, "I can't. I just...I can't do this today."

"This?" he asks.

She flings a hand out to indicate the animals in New Atlantis that he and Sam and Jonas and now she take care of. "This. Any of it."

There's this pain in his eyes that looks like how she feels. He nods, eyes closing for a second and says, "You don't have to. I'll watch Bonny and William. You go take care of Kate."

She seriously could've blown him right there on the porch for gratitude, but she keeps it to kissing his cheek. "Thanks," she tells him and an hour and a half later, she's dressed for anything and headed for the caves. The one place she and Declan never went together was Rapture. So today, she's going there.

Figures other-her would have the same plan. She smiles, kind of dark and bitter. "Hey, Kate."
