All Theresa remembered from her class with Stephanie was the way she silently stared straight ahead. They talked on IRC at night. Drew did not think it was his place to uncover what they discussed.
After graduation Stephanie disappeared. Drew and Theresa had a bad falling out with Amber and fell in love with each other. Upon reconciling with Amber years later, Drew found out Stephanie had been in and out of psychiatric wards. She would be fine for months at a time and then suddenly try to hang herself with her own shoelaces. An abusive relationship with a lover finally broke what little resolve she had left. She downed some pills, drank a glass of milk, and checked the fuck out.
