He talks to her sometimes. Alone in the darkness of his room he says her name over and over until he falls asleep, tears drying on his cheeks.
In his dreams she talks back, comforts him, lets him understand why.
When he wakes he never remembers her reasons.
The answer is sometimes there, sometimes gone, but always the echo is lingering, whispered reassurances that everything will be okay, though he can't remember how anymore.
She used to tell him, when she was alive. He remembers. Everything will be okay. He believed. But now, without her, these hollow echoes aren't enough.

Well, it's fixed now. (I so need a beta.) Sorry 'bout that.
