a short man with a beard greets a smiling chandler.

"are you mr. dalen?" the man chandler is facing nods. "are you here for zoe?" the man asks chandler.

he nods and gets a response that he didn't want.

"we," the man sniffles. "we found her dead this morning. i'm sorry, kiddo. funeral next week."

the man slams the door in chandler's face.

why? why would zoe do this to him? was she as depressed as he was? or was it worse?

"i could've stopped it." that's all chandler thought. he thought that her suicide was all his fault.

maybe her death was for the best.
