City Dead. Means a person lacks a pulse, lacks a body temperature. There's no need to breathe or eat. They still have whatever abilities they had before, sure. And mentally, still themselves. [There's a pause and she doesn't move when he sits down because she's not at all sure what to do. All of his favorite things about her are gone and she's actually worried that'll change things.]

I'm City Dead and I don't know how to handle it.

[Hence the hiding. She's having the worst time processing.] I can't leave. I'm here for good.

[Pay absolutely no attention to the tears pricking at the corners of her eyes. Seriously. They're not there. These are not the tears you're looking for, Ed. Especially not the one that's rolling down her face that she's trying so hard to ignore.]
