"I'm working on it," Lucy replies with a slight shrug, what seems like the best way of answering. She really is a lot better off than she was, time having dulled the initial sting of it, as it always does, and she's gotten a lot since then, too. Back on the island, she hadn't thought she would ever see her brother again. That in itself would make all the other losses she's faced since then just about worth it. She's not sure she could honestly call herself happy, but that's been the case for a long time, and she's willing to take what she can get. "This was almost two years ago now, so I've... learned how to deal with it pretty well."
