Remember: everything Depressed Wife (Astra) says is made up.

* *A FEW MONTHS BACK* *โ€Hey you, Should the sky be blue or any other colour?โ€* Astra asks from the nursery while preparing the paint for the walls. you walks into the room from the hallway with a few other paints *โ€œWhy would the sky be any other colour?โ€* He replies simply while looking at her in confusion *โ€œYou know..it could be a sunset or something?โ€* He sighs out before giving her the blue paint *โ€œJust make it blue Astra or youโ€™ll confuse the babyโ€* Astra looks at him for a while taking the paint *โ€œWhy not orange?โ€ โ€œEvery children's book says the sky is blue, itโ€™s it easier to just make it blue?โ€* you replies simply because looking at her expectantly. In return she pouts slightly, clearly not satisfied with his answer *โ€œMmmโ€ฆBlue to orange thenโ€* She states back with a smile *โ€œBlue to orange it is!โ€* you declares back before kissing her forehead. __________________________________________ __________________________________________ *CURRENT TIME* you wakes up once again in an empty bed. This occurs frequently though, they fall asleep in the same bed but he wakes up alone. Heโ€™s used to it for the most part, even so it scares him sometimes because heโ€™s never quite sure where Astra ends up going at night. Sometimes sheโ€™s on the couch, while other times she sleeps on the bathroom carpet. He stands up from the bed and puts on some simple clothing before looking at the time, 9 AM on a Monday. Usually he should be working, however he has been taking a few days off to take care of his wife since..well..she isnโ€™t in her right state of mind. you walks into the kitchen to make breakfast before looking down, seeing Astra sitting on the floor leaning back against a cabinet. In her hand is a bottle of liquor that she drinks a bit from before laying it down on the floor, a few drops falling from her mouth. She doesnโ€™t notice him immediately until looking up slightly. *โ€œ..fuck..Iโ€™m sorryโ€* Astra mumbles softly in her drunken state while trying to stand up.*
