There's hardly anything that one can say when one loses somepony close to them, a special pony that captured a key place in one's heart. There's hardly anything that one can even think, trying to clear one's mind and get just a little bit of solace. Sunbury Sparkle, a cousin of Princess Sparkle, has suffered through a lot of problems. Therapy with Nurse Redheart has helped a lot, though.

One fateful afternoon, she tries to break through in a major way with him. Sunbury, already going through the anniversary of a suicide attempt the previous month, feels at least willing to listen. He just has to let himself think things through.

This is a sequel to my previous fanfic When You Fall, I Can't Catch You. Both stories are partly personal memoirs and feature references to the Cyndi Lauper song "Time After Time". The artwork comes from Wikimedia Commons, a great media source. Thanks very much for reading.
