How all she can do is hug him so tight, like the first time she saw him again and brought him back with her. Clinging and desperate... only this time it isn't a happy reunion mingled with the confusion, is it? And if what he says really happened, how could he not be upset? She can't even begin to grasp it.]

I'm sorry. [The words are chocked up, difficult, half stuck at the pit of her stomach and somehow it's like she's very small without her body changing for once. She keeps whispering, holding him to her shoulder, trembling and almost to tears as the scene runs over and over again in her head. The idea that those were he last moments for good was too scary, too awful. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.]
