Before you post your topcomment, please:
1. Check the first letter of your character's name as its written in our tags. A-M names go to the other post, and N-Z names comment here.
2. Make a note in your topcomment if anything especially triggering or graphic might show up in the Calibration. If you're not sure if something's worth noting or not, we suggest listing it anyway, just to err on the side of caution.
3. Put your character's name (it can be shortened or different from the tag, this time) in the subject of your comment. This will help visitors find you easily, and help us update the list below.
4. Post your comment! It's fine if everyone's Calibrations end up looking and reading very different from one another. As long as you're having fun and following our guidelines, you're good to go. :)
5. If you have any questions or concerns during Calibrations, you are welcome to send them towards the mod team at any time, as always.

[His grip on her hand is gentle, warm, reassuring; he absently traces his thumb over her knuckles as he nods, dropping his gaze to the floor.]

My cousin. She was very important to me. She was kidnapped, and I didn't save her in time. She got very sick, and ... she died.

[Souji looks back up to her, the smile on his face gone thin.]

I understand what it's like ... to lose someone you love, to feel responsible for it.

[At Souji's explanation, Wanda's eyes tear up once more, but her expression is not one of despair like before. Instead, they are tears of sympathy, her expression clearly upset, but it is directed away from her own pain this time. Now, it is empathy for Souji. In one movement, she moves forward from a sitting position, resting on her knees, she wraps her arms around Souji, hugging him tightly.]

[truthvalue]

[It's a little surprising, but - it shouldn't be, Souji realizes, a little after the fact, as he moves to pull her closer into the embrace.]

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda just shakes her head, burying her face in his shoulder. She can't really bring her mouth to form words at the moment. Instead, she's content to just let the tears and the pain she's feeling, for both of them, spill out.]

[truthvalue]

[Souji holds her close, silent, a calm eye in the center of a storm. There's really nothing to say; he knows from experience how hollow words fall in this situation, so there's no point in speaking. Nothing he could say will make this devastating loss hurt less, heal the hole in her heart.

So he holds on tightly to her, and hopes that's enough to help.]

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[After a few moments of staying like that, wrapped in comforting arms and only the sound of crying in the room. Wanda eventually pulls herself apart from Souji, looking at him with some tears still in her eyes. There's an expression of true gratitude on her face, however, a smile on her face too.]

Thank you.

[truthvalue]

Of course.

[The smile he offers is small, steady but sad.]

[At that moment, the back door to the prison cell opens. Bright light streaming in, washing over the two of them. It is blinding, making it soon impossible to see anything.]

[When Yu is able to open his eyes, after the light fades completely, he'll find himself back in his room on the Marsiva. His time in Wanda's calibration room has ended.]
