Morningbloom doesn't mean to haunt anyone, she swears it.

But when she dies, and she's welcomed into the ranks of Starclan, she finds herself lingering. She lingers as her loved ones mourn, as they hang their heads and tears stain their fur. She lingers more often than she should, to simply see and watch, because her loved ones still live there.

Morningbloom lingers as she sees Sunwish refusing to grieve. Out of guilt, out of feeling like she doesn't deserve to. The molly watches as the medicine cat throws herself into her work, into her duty. She watches as the medicine cat pushes herself again and again, learning more of her role, pushing aside bitterness to ask the other clan healers for help or advice.

Morningbloom tries to be there, she really does. She lingers every time Sunwish helps a queen successfully kit or anything of the sort. She tries to wrap her tail around the other and whisper, "Look, you're doing well! You're an amazing medicine cat."

Morningbloom finds herself often gesturing to the kits or the newly patched up warrior. She tries, and she tries her hardest to let Sunwish know that her death wasn't her fault and to please, please, allow herself to grieve.

It doesn't work, as much as Morningbloom wishes it did. She doesn't know if it's Sunwish's guilt, or her fear, but the medicine cat never listens. Shuffling away when she's no longer needed, throwing herself into making sure the herbs are always stocked.

It aches Morningbloom, but there's not much else she can do.

..

When Morningbloom descends on day, seeing Scorchstar silently stalking Sunwish, her heart drops to her stomach.

No. No no, please, no.

She races, she runs, and she tries to stop the leader. "Scorchstar," she'll try, her voice so echoy yet so desperate, "Scorchstar no!"

But she's a ghost. There's not much Morningbloom can do.

She can only watch, her starry pelt dimming with her disbelief, as Scorchstar pounces upon the medicine cat. There's an exchange of words, blame placed upon Sunwish by the leader. She can tell that the leader isn't in her right mind, but what can Morningbloom do?

As she watches Sunwish's spirit rise to Starclan, Morningbloom follows.

They meet there, and Morningbloom smiles at the other. Sunwish's ears pinned back, and she could see the former medicine cat was grasping for words.

All Morningbloom does is approach, wrap her tail around the other, and say..

"You did the best you could, Sunwish. And that's all anyone could have ever asked for."
