<p>Ey’d never been able to pick apart whether or not they were just normal people. Perhaps Michelle had been — ey’d not spent enough time around her to know, and what time ey had managed had been mostly silence. Toward the end, her conversations were more interruptions than not, although the impression ey’d gotten was that she’d been kind and gentle, while still being the type to care passionately about things — or, more often, people. The impression just hadn’t been a strong one. Not enough time to for it to solidify.</p>
