That would depend on how you define 'functioning'. Though that is not the point; what is, is that they came to me, because they are concerned for a lost spark, and also to help me deal with my confusion and sadness about it. You do not hurt so much as that, at the moment, and you came while I was still meeting with them.

Foolish or not, I consider you my friend... but I cannot give you, or anyone else, precedence over others. This is why I am normally only sent one person at a time to speak with. Why that was not the case, in this instance, I am not yet sure.
