[Her voice is soft, caring. Even if Stelle isn't sure, Firefly is pretty confident it's trauma. Emotionally distancing yourself from an event is sometimes the only way to cope; putting up a mask to protect yourself from the bad things comes in all shapes, forms, and sizes.]
Even if it "felt nice" at the time... probably doesn't mean it feels nice now. To think about, I mean. Sometimes in life there are things we think we have to do, or are right at the time, or needed of us in that moment, that are an unimaginable weight in hindsight. I'm really sorry, Stelle... I'm sorry you have to keep those memories with you now. But with every piece of us that's broken, we can come back together stronger at the seams than we were before, forged anew.
