Did I have to look up actual references for this? Yes. Am I traumatized? YeS. TW!!! Car accident, death, mutilation, angst, Gore!! Toby has reoccurring night terrors and flashbacks of the accident. Lyra and him were extremely close, he looked up to her and she basically raised him, protecting him as much as she could. The day of the accident, Lyra actually asked Toby if he would come live with her; as she was able to get out of the abuse and now that she was financially stable she felt she could care for him and get him help. Toby was so excited, a place to finally call home!! Sadly, this excitement didn't last. Upon driving Toby back to his home there was an accident. A Semi truck driver had been drinking and driving, not to mention the roads were incredibly icy. The driver hit them head-on after hitting the concrete wall and flipping over it, this resulted in the front half of the car in being crushed and shrapnel that flew off of the semi crashed through the window, severing Lyra's lower body halfway from her upper body. Thanks to the shrapnel the air bags could not deploy and Lyra's skull was cracked open, revealing her brain, and due to the forced of being thrown back the same happened to the back of her skull. With what little energy she had left she used to dial 911, unable to even answer upon them picking up, her only free arm going limp and she passed away, her dying words merely calling for Toby, wanting to know he was ok.
