She hurt.
Why she hadn't faded, she couldn't tell. She'd wanted to the moment the first Dark one touched her. Instead, she survived.

She refused to inflict her memories on him again. This was her burden. His burden, unfortunately, would be to finish the fight alone.
She'd have to sail; so when he finally came West, he'd see her whole again. Alive.
