"Since we were going to a better place, such things weren't as important as preparing to leave. I thought it was odd since that pressure cooker was something her mother bought her after our wedding and she cherished it more than anything since it was the most useful thing her mother left for her after her death. Even when she lent it to the neighbor, she had done so unwillingly. It was only because the neighbor had kids and she understood the difficult of raising kids in the apocalypse that she agreed to lend it since it would help save energy and fuel. However, since my wife said she wouldn't take it anymore, I just thought that it might have been ruined and she didn't want to take it back. But now that I think about it, even if it had been ruined and a scrap metal remained, with how much my wife cherished it, she would still have taken it back." By their time, the man was crying like a child blaming himself for not noticing earlier that something was wrong with his wife.
