This is a very satisfying piece. What a great story. I am only sorry it took me so long to get to reading it. I love the teddy bear reference, what a chill to see it connection.

I had a suspicion about what happened, but “3-1 =2” went right over my head.

I think it went over Josie's head, too. I know what happened and the detective suspects what happened, but Josie is still in the gray because disassociation is survival. Thanks for reading, Travis!
