[The hug is nice. She's not terribly opposed to it in the first place, she realizes, as she begins to melt.]

There's a reason I don't talk about it much. Kaneis and I would rather just... forget it happened. There were good things, a few good things, mostly the people I met. The rest...

I don't like pity, you know? I don't like to be told, 'oh, that's too bad'. Condolences don't erase what happened. It doesn't make me feel better. If anything, I feel worse for leaving the way I did.

Ultimately, we all had some responsibility in what happened. And that's what... hurts.
