( whether it helped red or not, reira pulled away from the embrace, far enough to give red whatever room she might need. her hands still gently lingered on on the other, the pads of her fingers keeping them tethered despite the distance. )

It doesn't matter in the end, I'm just glad nothing happened to you but now....I feel so bad for you. Don't you want to be home? In your world with your friends and family....I'm so sorry you were brought here.

( really it should be the other woman breaking down over this, but reira can't help but cry for her. )

I'm so sorry, you deserve better.
