Belladonna 10/24/21

 Oct 2014

Nathan Gavigan returned home from work to find his wife missing.  After an extensive search, during which residents of Belladonna Cove, as well as the neighboring town of Hilldale, reported seeing Mary wandering aimlessly in various places, she was found in the cemetery near her home, dead of an apparent suicide.  Nathan blames himself for not noticing his wife's distress.  He's always know she was fragile, but he never thought it was this bad.  Evidently the days spent at home alone while everyone else was at work or school finally took such a toll on her that she couldn't bear to go on.  Isaiah wanted to drop out of school and come home to help out, but Nathan insisted that he stay and finish his degree.  He'll cope somehow on his own, though he doesn't know how given that he's in even more debt now than before and can't even think about moving the family after everything that's happened.

Isaiah Gavigan tries to push through his classes, but it's difficult to concentrate on anything in the wake of his mother's death.  Luckily, he'd put enough in prior to the tragedy to carry him through the term.

Marcus Baldwin is beginning to settle into college life.  He's actually loving it and wishing it would last longer than just four years.

Etsu Cho is thriving in academic life and she's even made a couple of friends while working on research projects.  She does miss her family though, so she spends a lot of time on the phone with them.  She doesn't want to miss out on anything while she's away.

*Note: Mary's story came from watching too much true crime and "You" lately.  Game-wise, she was in a red aspiration and had to roll for depression/suicide and I rolled a "death" ROS for the family as well, so I decided to count Mary's suicide for that as well, rather than have two deaths at once.

Happy Simming!
