Hi Rune, I was amazed by your story about the little boy in the Grass. It makes perfectly sense to me that Aurora feels emotion from others that are so powerful that it doesn't matter for her if she lost one herself or not on the Island.
However, it is a few days later now and I am reading your story about Why did you have to go a place... In your story there is a reference to the Interview - a free bird (https://aurora-daily.tumblr.com/post/187579056337/a-free-bird/amp). In the interview Aurora makes it quite clear, see the quote below.
I don't believe in coincidence, your stories coming on my path and me reading them in the order that I do. And then The eight day part. My god. There is a lot going on in my mind, maybe something to talk about later...

«I sang at my friend’s funeral. She was kind, it was heavy.»
There was someone who committed suicide too?
«Yes, a friend of ours from Os. He was good, very good. And then I had one tho whom I was very close who died in Utøya. A boy I was in love with. He was lovely.»
Was he your boyfriend?
«We probably were, even though I was very young back then. I was 15 when he passed away. He was 17.»
The buzz in the room is increasing, but in Aurora’s corner it is quiet. Suddenly she says:
«Eight days after someone I had been fond of passed away, I felt a presence. On every eight day it is if they were still here, and then no more. That’s why track eight is always the title track on my albums. There is something magical about the number eight.»
