• Kelly Severide : Can I come in?

  Violet Mikami : I'm really bad company right now, but...

  [Severide walks in and sets down some beers on Violet's kitchen table] 

  Violet Mikami : Let me guess, Stella is stuck working at Molly's so she sent you to bring me a beer and try to cheer me up?

  Kelly Severide : No, this is my idea. I wanted to tell you about a girlfriend I had before your time at 51: Anna.

  Violet Mikami : Yeah. Stella has told me about her. I mean, I don't know much, but I... I know she died.

  Kelly Severide : The two toughest things I've ever been through were losing Shay and losing her. And for the longest time after Anna died, I felt like a boat cut loose from the dock, just lost, nothing to hold on to.

  Violet Mikami : Yeah, that's... Yeah, that's pretty much exactly it.

  Kelly Severide : I don't like to think about how low a bottom I might've hit if I hadn't gone back to work. That's just my take, having been where you are.

  Violet Mikami : I appreciate it, I really do, but the... the difference is... I'm scared if I go back to work, I'll see Evan everywhere. It was his work too.

  Kelly Severide : You can't avoid it that way, I'm sorry to say. I saw Anna wherever I went, too, for the longest time. But what I saw even clearer, right in front of me, was my crew at 51, always bugging me, checking in on me. And I wanted to kill them half the time. But I knew that if I started to drift, they'd hold on tight.
