[ as an old friend of the Gage family, and nearly surrogate daughter after Robert passed away, Bela's death hit Sophie pretty hard. even with her tenacious want to be a good photo-journalist, there are some lines she's not willing to cross and being on board with the Blackwell Mail to report this was one of them. she's taken a day off from the office as well.
there's very little she can say to sooth this - or anything at all, really - but sophie does stop by the gage residence in her little honda scooter. the dog doesn't bark because it knows her so well and sophie waits by the door for a second. because she wants to knock but her gut is twisting like it wants to crawl out. she's there for a couple of moments and finally, she gathers up the courage to ring the bell and once the door is open, there's a torrent of nonsensical, awkward jumble of words that come out of her mouth before she shuts up instead and gives them a tight hug. ]
